[cradle of freedom]

This is the key to breaking the hold that islam has on the minds of the people. Islam controls people in two ways; from the inside and from the outside. The inside control is over the minds, thinking and identity of the people. The outer control is through coercion and threat. Since people need to believe something inside, making them aware of their pre-islamic past would give them a strong motivation to break free. Half the battle is identity. The muslim leadership understand this as they try to wipe out anything that will remind people of who they were before the muslim invasions. They also know that they brought islam into these countries through the vilest brutality and of course, they don't want people to know what the islamist conquerors did to their ancestors.

Here is something that I have just recently discovered about the meaning of the veil. The veil is another form of terrorism and subjugation. The veil identifies women as being muslim or non-muslim, therefore muslim men know which women are safe to rape. Muslim women cannot be raped while non-muslim women can. The veil keeps muslim women from going outside of islam to date non-muslim men because a veiled woman is identified as a muslim and must not be seen with a non-muslim man. In this way the muslim seed is kept “unpolluted” by the kaffir and the muslims do not lose their women to infidel men. This keeps the muslims apart and hostile to non-muslims since inter-marriage is not allowed. Finally, since not wearing the veil identifies a woman as being “fair game” for rape, the non-muslim population is terrorized and harassed by the rape of their women which is another pressure that over time causes many people to convert to islam so that they will be safe from this abuse.

I agree re the purpose of the veil.

The long black fabric, covering head to toe, which the Iranian women are forced to wear in today’s Iran is called “chador”. In Persian it literally means “tent” - the fact that the word (”tent”) is also commonly used for “the veil” in Iran is quite revealing.
