If a woman is FREE to CHOOSE to wear a burqa, then I support her choice to do so. But the key word is CHOICE! Anyway, I bet you would be glad to meet her. "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

Exactly. I know a girl younger than me (15) who decided to wear it (I know it was her choice because she told me so and her mother doesn't wear one). She loves it, she is so happy with it and is always smiling now and is very confident with it!
Even when I visit Egypt and stay with my grandparents, I see my grandmother happily put it on every morning and she'll go to the mosque at 5am. She didn't always wear it. Actually, my grandmother is the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen, she looks like Angelina Jolie x10 but with a rounder face. She is white, but she has that fierce egyptian look too. People would stare at her constantly (&btw, she still looks gorgeous with it on even at 67 yrs old!). She decided to put it on after she got breast cancer (I wasn't alive at that time).. she had it for ten years and it never came back and she still happily wears it and loves it so much.
There are many many women and girls who love to wear the headcover. Hard to believe, even I don't exactly enjoy wearing it but some people truly love it. Like that fifteen year old girl wears the headcover but she still acts like every other teenage girl. She curses from time to time, she loves justin bieber (
I admire women and girls who wear the hijab happily.
Many people wear it and love it, but if someone is forced to wear it I consider that abuse, hands down. That is a choice even in Islam and I think that if a woman is forced by her parents, husband, family, or whoever else, that is wrong and abusive. That is a HUGE decision that should be chosen happily by the person who is dedicated and committed to the hijab.
Me? Pffft, no. I don't wear one, and don't see myself wearing one either. I wear bikinis, I wear whatever just like everyone else. I'm not conservative, can't say I'm provocative either (I don't like showing too much skin for no reason. Like, bikinis? That's fine because I'm swimming but I don't feel the need to just show off my body for no reason other than I genuinely like the clothing I'm wearing but I don't look to show anything on purpose. I'm happy wearing whatever makes me feel comfortable. ) I do practice my religion, maybe not in the best way I should, but I fast, pray, give to charity, etc. And follow many rules of my religion still. But I'm still very, I guess you could say "liberal" in my views and with many things in my life. To each his own, I guess.

Thanks for your contribution to this thread an giving your view as a muslim woman paniurozcy!
I have noticed too that some girls/women like wearing a scarve but are not necessarily very religious.
And I think you are indeed quite liberal yourself. Judging by your signature and all, I could tell.

Well... not really.
However, I went out for lunch today and there were two young women sitting there, seemingly from a distant Arabic country. Both were completely dressed in black and one had on something that seemed like a black burqa. I think it's called a hijab, covering all her body and hair, but not her face. Looking like this
The other one, tho´ also completely dressed in black, had on fairly sexy clothes and shoes, and only had on a headscarve that covered just her hair and not her face or neck. The way she was dressed, I could clearly see how pretty her face was and what an extremely tight body she had.
When I stepped into the lunchroom, she looked me straight in the eye and gave me a very flirtatious smile, saying something like, hey sexy, come here you... I gave her a little nod to say hi and smiled back at her while I walked to the counter next to them to order. There I could hear them talk in a language that appeared arabic to me. I looked from the corner of my eye and saw the pretty girl looking up at me. I ordered and took a place to sit right across from them. I picked up a paper to read and when I looked up the girl with the hijab was just staring at me...
When I stared back at her, immediately she looked away and said something to her pretty girlfriend. While they were giggling and trying to behave, I admit that I was charmed by the pretty girl with just the headscarve on and so I looked at her again. There was another exchance in eye contact, but then a bus or taxi arrived outside and they had to hurry to leave. On their way out, the pretty girl gave me that same flirtatious smile again, that she gave me when I walked in.
I have had plenty of encounters with Islamic wome before, and whether they were born and raised in Holland, or from some pretty conservative Islamic country, many of them have confirmed my personal impression again and again that quite a few aren't into any following any relgious or cultural rules at all. Rules that for example say you have to be in submission to your man, or your father or your brother all the time. Or that you always have to wear a scarve, or can`t dress sexy, or flirt, or fuck with a man who is an ´infedel´. Maybe I am wrong tho´ about this, I am sure no expert, but it does seem that way to me.
Oh yeah ... and since it´s about flirting with Islamic women, I was not sure either if this topic would fit better in GD or PR so since it is by all means also about flirting I just put it in GD!

^^^ All of this I totally agree with. It is and SHOULD BE a WOMAN'S CHOICE, not foisted on her by a religious patriachal society. And Christianity has nothing to brag about in that realm either. It has only been in recent decades that Christian women have been allowed to wear certain types of clothing to religious ceremonies...depending on what branch of Christianity one is referring to. What counts is what exists in our hearts and souls and our connection to the Creator, by whatever name you call him/her (no sexual gender there! IMO!). Your final statement is really the bottom-line for any open minded people--"to each his/HER own!"

Thank you, &
Yes, thank you for understanding.
In Islam women and men are meant to be equal but unfortunately there has been a culture that followed naturally with the religion and undermined it. I'm very proud to be muslim, Islam has been good to me even though I'm not that religious. I love it and I love real Islam. &In the Qur'an, it says there is no compulsion in religion, so yes, it is a choice for anybody when it comes to their religious duties and there is a huge thing with intentions and personal responsibility that many people want to ignore, especially men in arab society.
I grew up in a feminist family. My great grandmother was the first female doctor in Egypt, we are very proud and I grew up from my dad telling me that women can do anything a man can do + give birth.

And if a person decides to lie about their sex that's their business, so it doesn't bother me.

No, you didn't come across as female in your OP but it would have been sort of ignorant of me to just assume that you were a man just because you said that you flirted with a woman and I wouldn't want that. surviving on the thought of loving you, it's just like the water

^^^ Good for you and the women who came before you in your family! There can be true equality in Islam, as well as other patriarchal religions. But, I'm sure you already know this, women had much more freedom at the beginning of the Islam religion than in latter centuries (depending on the culture, of course!). Mohammed's wife Kadija (spelling?) played a VERY important part in the founding of the Islam religion, from my understanding... If I am wrong, correct me.
