Interesting take on the hijab. I do personally believe that modesty has real value to a society however I don't think forcing women to wear it is liberating.

Okay, So, the only way to really see if Islamic precepts are valid and up-hold women’s dignity is to use this as a way to not ‎treat women like sex objects; only the embarrassed and the ugly would agree with the thought of it. I am very familiar with the Persian community; and only ignorant dumb frack Arabs force this up anyone’s a$$ and say it feels good. So let’s have Western Women wear this vestige of slavery as a fashion statement and see where it gets them.

Looks of wonder? They were probably wondering if she (or he) were a suicide bomber.

Some women really do look better in a hijab:

Make the males wear the same thing then, if it’s so fair and liberating. Bet that wouldn’t go over so well though.

What a load of crap from a typical Leftard. The hijab - like the burka - is the sign of slavery for women. These instruments of oppression should be banned in the USA. If the Leftards don’t like it then they can always be shipped to Saudi Arabia and live in that hot and oppressive country.

Forcing one to wear it is sick.....but when I have a bad hair day, and am too lazy to take a bath and get some decent clothes on, such a garment would suit me temporarily...

Perhaps the women are forced to wear it because they refuse to bath or dress decently and never wash their hair. The perfect covering......for muslim men ashamed muslim women..

> banned in the USA.

Whoa!

What about the Amish, Mennonites, Hutterites, Bruderhoff, and other Anabaptist and other conservative Christian groups? I believe the Hassidic Jewish women cover their heads, too.

Please don’t paint all women who cover their heads and wear modest clothing with the broad brush of the Mohamhead Lunatic.

The males already wear dresses, what more do you want?

Modesty does have value. The hijab, however, has no place here. Period.

Slavery is Freedom. Gee, where have we read that before?

I suspect we might could rid the planet of I-slam simply by providing every woman of marriageable age in the slammite world with a 9mm semiauto pistol and 100 rounds of ammo. Total cost would be around 70B USD.

Try this: Next time you see some poor woman wearing one of those full-body slammite things, say something like “Pardon me, miss, but if you’re interested, I know a place where you could buy a pistol to shoot the sorry a**h*** who’s making you wear that thing!”

There is a difference between covering ones head which results in separating from the community and concealing one’s identity, vs covering ones head (for modesty) while integrating into the greater society (like many Jewish and Anabaptist women).

I’ve seen this line of reasoning before. By draping women in tents, you make them all “equal” in the eyes of men. Of course, you also make them totally devoid of individuality—in short, you strip them of their femininity and turn them into annonymous entities that are shapeless and interchangable. Feminists these days are so twisted, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them embrace it. If nothing else, its another way to tear down our “oppressive” Western culture—and replace it with one that is downright hostile to women.

Slammites have made an art form out of being pushy and those stupid scarves and burkas are part and parcel of it. No rational nation should tolerate it.
