I like how everyone assumes that women in headscarves = sexism. There are women who choose to wear headscarves for their own reasons, you know, and even women who choose to convert to Islam and then wear headscarves of their own free will. Of course, I don't actually have WA, so for all I know the male Egypt townies beat the women in headscarves and don't let them drive cars, either. Given that this is EA, I wouldn't really be surprised.
Yes, there are women who choose to wear headscarves. There are also women who choose to be in abusive relationships, so it really proves nothing. The only thing we know for sure is that progressive muslim countries like Turkey and Egypt are trying to ban the scarf, while oppressive radical militant islamist countries like Iran, and... well... the rest of them, are trying to enforce it. There is nothing in the quran about headscarves. All it says is to dress modestly. Dressing in radical islamist fascist garments both in their own countries as well as living in the west is not following islam - it's how a cult movement behaves. So anyway, in conclusion, yeah, the headscarf is offensive, both to True(tm) muslims and non-muslims and women alike. It's a symbol of violent islamic revolution.
But yeah, no beatings, just a lot of poking, shoving, mean interactions... though if any of them catch fire I will be suspicious
Actually it says pull your veils over your chest and don't show your adornment except for what is apparent of it. Does that mean wear a headscarf? That's between each person and God, most people who study Islamic history and law believe it does. I believe it does so I chose to wear it. That's the thing about a book that hasn't been significantly changed in generations, they start to mean different things to different people. Incidentally, I'm from America (born and raised in the midwest) and am a liberal.
