    Well, if you look closely at these women's profiles, you'll find that they are all educated. Eventough I would not wear the hijab if I were a woman, whether we like it or not, it is their decision to wear a scarf and their decision deserves respect. In more blunt terms, what they wear is nobody's business.

    But I find it highly disgraceful to associate these women's (and any woman's) pictures with satiric depictions of Barbie, Michael Jackson, a cat, and a loo entrance. After all, did they harm anyone by wearing a scarf?

    I wonder why the British have no issue with the scarf and the sikh turban!!

    LoL. Your cat tooo!

    I thought this was serious to start with.. I had a little doubt with MJ and then... I saw Barbie!

    I suppose the victorians were a little suspicious too. ;)

    The soccer hijab looks cute. Much better than that cheesey football stripper outfit!

    Is that a hijab in your thumb nail?
    It looks very nice.

    Hello anonymous:

    I do not see the point in your comment. I said that they were educated because that means they have made perfectly informed decisions, rather than emotional ones.

    I maintain that they are educated. Khadija Ben Ganna is a highly skilled journalist, and the others are former or present actresses. They have been to school. You don't need to be a Harvard MBA to be referred to as an educated individual.

    Any chance we hear better arguments, anonymous?

     

  • At 3:06 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    lol...Oh so the non educated ones can't make perfectly informed decisions because they are too emotional?

     

  • At 3:22 PM, Anonymous Tarek said…

    False. The "non-educated ones can't make perfectly informed decisions" because they are driven by the only desire to conform to cultural norms.

    Besides, I find it sad that in 2006 we still judge people according to what they wear. It's a sign of high intolerence.

    Question: Is the Indian Sari "okay" or shall we laugh at it as well? Is the Japanese Kimono okay for you guys??? Shall we tell the sikhs to take their turbans off and wear baseball caps instead??

    As long as people are not pressured to wear a hijab I see nothing wrong with it.
    But the full coverage/large hijab does look very scary.

    I am surprised at the conservative shift in this modern age.

    But not surprised when I consider the current political situations.

    But then surprised again when I remember that in the absence of the Taliban, the Afghani women have shifted in the opposite direction to their sisters.

    But...for how long?

    Tarek: Yes when the society sees something as "right" like wearing the scarf then they harm me as an individual, they're free to wear it as individuals and I'm free to fight their way of thinking, which looks at girls as "objects" that should be covered. So yes they're harmful

    @ Egyptian Bet: I don't think these women are forcing anything upon you as an individual. Did they knock on your door and tell you to cover your hear?? you're creating your own stress I notice.

    It's funny to see this urge to impose a model of a perfect society whereby we would all look all the same, all wearing jeans, all eating crisps and all watching friends!

    The world is diverse. There are 6 billion beings and hundreds of religions. No one is entitled to make fun of anyone else on the basis of their religious or cultural beliefs. Basic human rights principle.

I am sorry that's cultural terrorism and racism and history shows that this bunch of fanatics has done a lot of harm to society! By the way, I guess you need some free lectures on the true nature of Islam and Muslims.

    fabulous. but scary. but funny. but not. my rather large but cuddly fat boy (cat) would be thrilled to be seen out with such a pom pommed she cat....

     

  • At 7:16 PM, Blogger Seneferu said…

    Tarek, I personally feel sorry for them and can't help but see them as veils on their minds, veiling their individuality as persons. They are free spirits in their previous lives, but they lack the education to stand firm against the current societal pressures that teach them that their unveiled selves are whores. I could pick a less harsh term than this, but really this is what it comes down to.

     

  • At 7:29 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said…

    Hannibal,
    The KKK was founded on white supremacist 'beliefs'. This 'belief' system was part of the 'culture' of the antebellum and postbellum southern states. They were not trying to impose their culture on African Americans, but preserve their own culture at the expense of them. They used terror as a tactic. You are right, they are/were fanatics and racist. The point is when you see their outfit it is not intolerant to call them racist and/or fanatics. It is OK to 'judge' them for what they are. This is not about Islam per se, it is about the tenets of multi-culturalism. Tarek would say that you are not allowed to judge/ridicule them based on their clothes because they are one group among the 6 billion people on our planet and you would violate their basic human rights by doing so. It isnt that simple.

    Globle Careine,
    Thanks for the advice, I added Camilla, and it is one of my favorites.
    I didn’t forget about many other actresses like Abir El Sharkoui,Shahira etc…I just had a hard time finding all those pictures. Either I found the before or the after, but not both, so I worked out with whatever was available.

    Tarek...Tarek...Tarek...you just need to see the humor in things sometimes.
    You take things a little too seriously.
    Who said it was their decision btw? I know for sure that some of the famous people who start wearing the Hijab do it after getting paid a lot of money to do so. I’m sure some of these TV people are told to by their producers.
    I don't see anything on my post that is highly disgraceful. I know a few people who wear the hijab and they happen to be extremely nice and good people. Many members of my own family wear the Islamic clothes. I never asked them why they wear it though.

    Mina,
    As a fashion statement I agree that it could be cute. Is that bad??

    To all the comments about the cat,
    No I didn’t try to convert him yet to Islam.
    It doesn’t want to follow anything . I had a hard time trying to take the picture of it with the hijab, you have no idea. He bit me and then ran away… I had to starve her for a few hours and then offer her her favorite food. Only then did she let me put the fabric on her for those few seconds.

     

  • At 8:33 PM, Anonymous Tarek said…

    Seneferu:

    When I hear Ben Ganna presenting the news the last thing I see is her veil. I rather see a bright, eloquent and articulate journalist. So, I do not feel sorry for her, I feel impressed. If she were oppressed, or had no confidence in herself and her beliefs, she would have left her job.

    Benazir Bhutto ruled her country with a scarf on her head. No one saw the headscarf, everyone saw the politician.

    I am not making a case for the veil. I am saying that it is ridiculous to make fun of the way people dress however this dress looks like. It is also unacceptable to assume that because a woman is veiled she must be sad and oppressed.

    In any case, in my relationships with people I tend to focus on the intellectual capacities of the individual, and his/her contribution to society, rather than their dress code. Probably this is why I am lucky to have very close friends across all religions and countries.

    Leiltouta,

    I do see the humour in things when they do not touch on culturally sensitive problems. And this post raises a highly sensitive issue, so I did not see the humour part at the outset.

    Besides, I always talk and argue.. I must have a talk-and-argue gene hidden somewhere.. :)

    I hope I didn't sound unpleasant in my comments.

    "My hope is that someday,strict Islamic countries will allow women NOT to wear them,should they so choose."

    Things do not just happen, hope is not enough and is quite hollow. If people are to have the choice, it takes people on the outside to beable to free them from this opression. I also support people wearing the Hajab out of choice, but not if it is simply out of choice to keep the oppressors quiet. I assume that it becomes quite natural over there though, like second nature. They are braught up on Hajab and that becomes part of their identity.

     

  • At 10:24 PM, Blogger Steven said…

    I vote for the Taliban Girls!!

     

  • At 10:33 PM, Blogger Crazy Girl said…

    The whole problem I have with the hijab (btw my twin sister wears it) is that the point behind it is stupid. Yes some women wear it cause they want to, bad the problem is that women are told to wear it to get respect from men. We are taught that in islam a womens goal is to make sure she does not attract a man. To me that makes me feel like men are animials and we are creatures that must protect ourselves from men. If we provoke the animal in anyway than we are to blame. I find this unfair. God gave us brains. We all need to learn to respect one another, the good the bad and the evil! We have a right to laugh and make fun of whatever we please.

    I'm kind of rambling here but I just don't see why god created us to hide our hair and to hide from men? a women should not live her life thinking that Allah created her a just a sexual being that needs to stop making men lust.

    I've got the feeling that when a woman wears the veil she's not human anymore.
    I think the veil is oppressive and separating men from women or trating women like objects and men like animals is tantamount to imposing a totalitarian model.

    Lebanon forever:

    The British do not have any problem with any religion. The lifestyle in this country is such as everyone from every faith is more than welcome. Many policewomen wear the veil, and many policemen wear the turban. A society that accepts this as a matter of everyday life must have reached the ultimate levels of tolerence and civilisation. And this is, in effect, a country with a huge civilisational background.

    No wonder then if the British got over the terrorist attacks on their country from the day following the incident and were intelligent and wise enough not to make silly shortcuts and stereotype the muslim faith accordingly.

    Looking at a comment such as the one you provided, I feel immensely happy to live in this country and not somewhere where I would have to misfortune to come across people like you.

    Humm.. a couple of additional thoughts:

    (1) I am sure you are not Lebanese

    (2) Just for future reference, the "metro" is not a "metro" in this country. It is called the "underground" or the "tube".

    actually i've totally seen veiled barbie being sold.
    as to the veil, i am sure very few women really really WANT to wear it, for the sole purpose of obeying their religious teachings. it is usually more that living in the middle east, there is so much objectification and sexual harrassment that even i sometimes wish i had an excuse to swathe myself. plus, there is a lot of social and familial pressure on "good" girls to get veiled. that is what society needs to work on, i guess.
    it's really to freaking hot over there for the veil to be anything other than the most sincere choice.

    I have friends who cover their hair in the U.S. and I do not think it is oppressive.

    They wear it because it is traditional and because it is a choice they freely made.

    When I see a woman wearing the hijab, I do not necessarily think she is oppressed.

    The point is more that all of a sudden, women (many of whom are in entertainment) who did not wear it before are all of a sudden turning up dressing much more modestly and wearing the veil.

    Did they all come to the sudden realization that this is what they want?

    Are they following a "fad" revival? ...which would be superficial but relatively harmless.

    Or are they feeling pressure from extremist groups that are rising in power?

    It is impossible for us to really know, regardless of how "educated" they are. The fact that many are entertainers makes me think that there is something larger than individual choice at work here.

    It is possible they all just woke up one day and decided that they wanted this...but I just have my doubts.

    leilouta, I dont see the point of your post, and it wasnt necessary to compare those ladies who decided to wear the Hijab with MJ, camila and a cat!! for a simple rule we learnt in 4th grade and that is you cant compare oranges to apples.

    Forsoothsayer, I have to disagree with you, maybe this is the case in your surrounding but you cant generalize

    I wore the veil when I was 26 and it was entirly my decision. I feel honored and so satisfied that I did, I did it because Allah "God" told us as Muslim women to do so;
    I agree though that some wear it for social purposes and becasue its the norm in their society and others are enforced to do so; unfortunately these women poorly represent Muslim women

  • At 8:25 PM, Blogger Alphaprimer said…

    Without any disrespect to the Holy Quran or to anyone on this blog, from my (admittedly) limited knowledge on what it says, but from a general sense, I'm offering a general consensus on the issue. I don't see the Holy Quran, saying what God says(His words), it exclaims ways on how to honor God, ways to pray to him and what he would WANT us to do. Thats culture, social norms, values, rituals, and traditions.

    The Hijab is reinforced by culture, because the Hijab denies its own humanity, it denies what makes an individual who they are, it constructs a barrier between people, and tells them who they should be and not to accept themselves and in that sense I don't believe for one second that It could be anything except a force that pushes a person or a people farther from God.

    Why do people have to honor God in one way? Pray in one manner, and conform to rituals? My friends, this isn't the voice of God or the prophet speaking, it's the collective voices of the community, telling you how you must do certain things and act in certain ways to be considered a Muslim or a Christian or Jew.

    Because truthfully, God is beyond all of that.

    I never said they were forced to wear it, they could've been forced because of peer pressure or other reasons, but even if they chose to wear it I'm free to critisize wearing a scarf and the reasons behind it and why this part of the world still wears it. Those reasons are completely anti-women.

    Tarek But I find it highly disgraceful to associate these women's (and any woman's) pictures with satiric depictions of Barbie, Michael Jackson, a cat, and a loo entrance. After all, did they harm anyone by wearing a scarf?

    Disgraceful? Funny, more like. What is wrong with poking fun at those who spend their youth using their looks in entertainment and then become all holier-than-thou once the parts stop coming and they are no longer on the screen?

    Tarek, you are quite funny, too. Is your beard quivering as you type the words 'I find it disgraceful'? How about using words like 'unconscionable', 'knavish', 'recrementitious', 'untempered', 'opprobrious', 'ignominious', 'reprehensible', 'egregious', 'heinous', 'iniquitous', 'nefarious', 'despicable', 'dastardly', 'flagitious', 'loathsome' or 'abominable'. Like 'disgraceful' they have the advantage of being able to simultaneously convey your sense of outrage while unintentionally causing great mirth to the reader.

    Try a few. You could even write a few letters to the local newspaper (in green ink, of course) signed 'Outraged of Wolvercott', 'Livid of Livermore' or even 'Catatonic of Cowley.' Nothing like a good outraged rant to cause a chuckle.

    I came over here from Sandmonkey's page. You truly are a genius :D

    Tarek, the problem does not lie with the people who say that the hijab is outddated, it lies with the people who believe that the women that do not wear it are of questionable virtue/sluts out to destroy muslim civilisation.

    You get out of the hijab what you put under it. A virtuous woman will be virtuous whatever she wears and a man-eater will be a man-eater even under the burkah.

    Check out any textbook on dermatology you want. The sites most susceptible to skin cancer are the ones that get hit vertically by the rays of the sun=the top of the ears, the bridge of the nose and the lower lip. This is why head and face covers are part of the traditional costumes in places that get hit by the sun a lot.

    Hopefully Camilla and Michael Jackson decide to adopt the hijab fulltime, in both cases an obvious improvement fashion-wise. Camilla doesn't have great hair, so he scarf solves that problem for her, and as for Michael, it would likely keep him from going totally bankrupt (those plastic surgery bills, ya know!)

    They should wear what they wish, but the only time I really cringed was when I saw a girl completely covered up only the eyes, and in the US, Oh that was not a good sight!
