Children in Philadelphia Muslim Society: We Will Sacrifice Ourselves for Al-Aqsa

the issue is that many people concentrate their talk about whether women are directly forced to wear it or not, i prefer to turn my attention to whether this kind of culture is problematic or sexist or not.

the left acknowledge that women can be indoctrinated into giving to misogynistic ideologies when evangelist women vote for vocal sexist men, but for some reason they are so reluctant to apply the same method to women who wear hijab.

it would be better to see the hijab as an ideology and a belief system rather than a mere piece of cloth, it is easier to see it that way when you are raised in a muslim culture where women are constantly reminded that their bodies are sinful and sexual, and when purity is contrasted with how much a woman separate herself from a man with coverings being just another layer to achieve segregation and therefore complete purity.

concepts of purity, chastity and modesty that underlie the scarf are beliefs, it is reasonable that you would want them to be less spread in your society, and it should be completely valid to criticize and discourage them without being accused of policing women choices.

the left as it stands wants muslims to be able to promote their purity culture with no resistance, we should witness as more and more women giving up to those principles while we just embrace them as they are making choices, of course until being covered become the expected norm, and women who aren't covered are considered immoral and sluts, something that has happened all over muslim countries post 70s.

the left that wants to censor right-wingers because they don't want their views to effect impressionate and invulnerable young people, but yet when we speak in the same tongue as of why we aim to criticize hijabs without even mentioning bannings or censoring we are told that we are being oppressive and patriarchal, we seem that we don't learn from history, in 70 and upwards it was easy for women to give up to those coverings because they were only hearing one voice. one interpretation, it didn't happen in day and night, it happend through several years, which is ought to happen since that you offer no counter-arguments. if women are constantly told that they are immoral for showing hair or necks with the society slowly and slowly embracing those views this is ought to happen. that's why criticism of hijab is needed and more than ever in this time. we need to focus on dismantling the notions behind them while simultaneously standing up to the left.

i already live in this sort of culture and it isn't any good, it is insidious and dangerous, i don't wish that any other culture would turn into what we have here.
