sucky suckyfuck you animal
lol no.Okay, this might be getting a bit too personal... But would your families accept you bringing home a non-muslim?
For parents though, right? I'd think that our generation, haven grown up in Australia, wouldn't really buy into the idea that race/culture is really a barrier.accceptable:
arab/persian/paki/afghan/turk etc
armenian/greek/italian/turk/maltese
maybe some types of african
white, asian, islander
much too different
umm.. that's the bit that's called a burqai would make her dress from head to toe in a black burqa, with only a small rectangle for her to see through (covered with a veil of course)
Well, I'm not australian born though i've been here for the better part of my life; my family is rather strict, all our family friends are of the same culture and as I grow older I can't help but see a tendency to gravitate towards people of similar backgrounds. I can marvel and gawk at many white Australians and their incredibly independent, free lifestyles... but I have no idea what it's like, and I would not share much in common with them just because we've been raised VERY DIFFERENTLY, though I'm proud to call myself Aussie. AND an atheist.For parents though, right? I'd think that our generation, haven grown up in Australia, wouldn't really buy into the idea that race/culture is really a barrier.
OP, I spot a problem: If a woman's oppressed, would she really be on teh internets?
Can't speak for myself, but I have known savvy, educated Muslim girls who have chosen to wear the hijab of their own volition.
Another angle: Is it still oppression if you've been brought up to believe that not covering is unacceptable? Where do we draw the line in defining this?
Not necessarily true - we all adhere to culture norms to some extent, so if you were raised in a culture that promoted the burqa and you honestly believed that it was the thing to do, then is it still oppression?Not sure what your last question means. If youre raised into believing that being covered is the only acceptable form of dress- that's not just oppression that's brainwashing.
Why does it have to be empowerment maybe she doesn't want to be looked at sexually by men?Not necessarily true - we all adhere to culture norms to some extent, so if you were raised in a culture that promoted the burqa and you honestly believed that it was the thing to do, then is it still oppression?
I guess I was just wondering out loud how free we truly are from our upbringings. If a dress code was foisted upon a girl against her will, then sure, that's not cool. But if she agrees, is it pitiable ignorance or applaudable empowerment on her part?
Blah blah blah... lol Where are the practicing Muslim ladies on this forum, anyway?
