The Niqab ( Archived) (15)

Oct 3, 2015 11:18 PM CST The Niqab
I don't like the niqab. And it has NOTHING to do with religion.

To me, the niqab is a symbol of repression. The idea that a woman is not allowed to even show her face.

I know some will argue with me on this but I fully believe that men and women are EQUAL. A woman should never have to hide her face.

I agree with you. Except that most women won't have the brute strength of a man and no man will ever be able to give birth. Not to mention the other, lovable, physical differences. grin

A niqab, "veil" or "mask"; also called a ruband) is a cloth that covers the face as a part of sartorial hijab. It is worn by some Muslim women in public areas and in front of non-mahram adult males, especially in the Hanbali Muslim faith tradition.

The niqab is worn in the Arab countries of the Arabian Peninsula such as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates. The niqab is also worn in countries such as Somalia, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh as well as some parts of Palestinian-ruled territories, southern provinces of Iran, and additional areas with sizeable Muslim populations.

Because of the wide variety of hijab worn in the Muslim world, it can be difficult to definitively distinguish between one type of veil and another. The terms niqab and burqa are often incorrectly used interchangeably; a niqab covers the face while a burqa covers the whole body from the top of the head to the ground.

Since the beginning of time women have been viewed as chattel, property. They first belonged to their father, then ownership was passed to the husband at marriage. In some parts of the world this is still the case. The woman has only the rights her husband allows her to have.


From domestic violence, 'honor killings' to legal restrictions, women in the Arab world face challenges foreign to Westerners.

I just don't think a woman should have to hide her face.

Excatly, and it is super strange that feminists do not want to say anything and even defend the woman's "right" to cover herself. That the "tolerant" do not see the problem in the increasing numbers of women and GIRLS, even at the age of 4,5, covering themselves in our part of the world is outrageous.

Any kind of veil/headdress that is a symbol of a religion and visibly places a woman into a category (religion) should be banned in Europe/the west.

They would tell you(at least the ones confident enough to hold a conversation)that the niqab promotes equality and harmony amongst women because(in manspeak)they don't have to compete over who is the most attractive and(in womanese)they are not objectified by men.

The primitive logic is that if you can't see her then you'll appreciate her personality more.

Agreed. It is just one of the outward symbols in which all women live under in a patriarchal society. At least in Western society women are no longer considered property.
