Afghan schoolgirls are weeping as they finish sixth grade, knowing their education is over. Under Taliban rule, they are unlikely to ever step foot in a classroom again.
I don’t wish to disparage people’s spiritual beliefs, but I’m sorry nobody should have to go around wearing anything like this, no matter what faith you come from. You should have the freedom to EXIST as yourself and show who you are. This niqab stuff is abuse.
Was just about to say. Fuck organized religion, fuck tolerating bigotry and intolerance in the name of acceptance and pluralism. Religion is something to be overcome not assimilated.
We have machines going beyond solar system, scientific evidence that earth revolves around Sun , ability to interact with people on the other side of globe instantly and more…
None of these things have religion ever predicted. And sometimes even being grossly wrong.
So you’re telling me that killing hundreds of thousands of people maybe even millions over the years in the name of some character which no one has any physical evidence exists and the people that follow along subconsciously know it’s fake however they are too afraid of not having some fictional guiding light is bad??? You’re wrong, Jesus saves!!!¡¡!¡!!! /s
As someone with Muslim family, they will tell you that it is the women’s choice. That they prefer to cover themselves from head to toe, even in blistering heat. The actual choice is to bite their tongue and wear it, or choose to deal with shame, humiliation, mockery, and often times much worse.
The rest of history has shown that women don’t choose that kind of clothing when they have free will.
That they prefer to cover themselves from head to toe, even in blistering heat.
Please don’t be ignorant
“The authors also concluded that the typical Bedouin costume has the same effects whether it is black or white. The black color does absorb more heat, but it does not reach the skin, so the color of the fabric is not important. The thickness of the fabric of these garments also favors better absorption of temperature, preventing it from reaching the skin.”
While true that covering clothing can protect from the sun, it doesn’t do anything indoors. Yet women still wear them indoors. Also, if that’s the reason they are worn, why don’t men cover themselves similarly?
Don’t be ignorant of the fact that women are raped or killed for not wearing them in some places. Look up Mahsa Amini if you don’t believe me.
We don’t really want your values or morals. I don’t care about hijab, but the West has nothing of value to offer Muslim women.
Even as a Saudi I feel it is not my place to police Afghans. Their country, their business. At least they aren’t sending bastard soldiers to invade other countries.
You have your culture, they have theirs. You should be more concerned with US and NATO war crimes, rather than policing the culture of people who just want to be left alone.
The West is welcome [not really] to try spending 2.4 trillion dollars and 20 years in Afghanistan again. Maybe one more bomb is all it takes to make them westernize… ;)
The only reason it got downvoted was because it was a 5G speed demo in Saudi Arabia. But I hold Lemmy is still better than Reddit. In Reddit you couldn’t post anything about any Arab or Muslim country without the comment section being toxic.
Did you consider the fact that it’s useless content that probably breaks Rule #2 on that community?
Regarding your other hobbies, those posts don’t federate to my instance, so I’m sorry I didn’t see you have an interest in music and religion. If I may correct my initial statement from “Your entire” to “90% of”.
And you don’t have HSR or free healthcare. I finished university like most Saudis with money saved. In Saudi Arabia the university pays you, I’d rather have this than a false choice between 99% Hitler and 100% Hitler. Go beg your government for student loan forgiveness.

I do wish to disparage people’s spiritual beliefs, so I’ll just say that religion is the greatest evil ever created by humankind.

IMO religion shouldn’t exist in 21st Century.

It’s control without a face. If you think it’s evil then modern society should be hell in the shadows.
Modern society could not have formed without religion. So yeah, it’s hell.
What matters is that they can’t get education and economic independence, who gives a shit about dress codes

Precisely. Nobody should be forced to wear clothing in any faith that they don’t want to.

The Bedouin lesson: A scientific study proves robes are the best garment to wear in the desert heat

We need to pat ourselves on our back that we got out of there.
Were you raised Muslim? I’m an ex Catholic lol.
No religion.

Muslim women do tend to thrive outside of Muslim countries, so I’d say the West has quite a bit to offer them.
You are welcome to lose again.
I’ll share a few about Saudi Arabia:

I didn’t choose for Palestine to be colonized. I didn’t choose for there to be US troops and bases in my country.
I would rather talk about Kenafah and Debke. But here we are. In between being colonized and bombed.

I didn’t realize all 2 billion of them lived in Afghanistan
You are such a judgmental and bigoted fellow. Enjoy your enlightened democracy.
