I have the choice to wear the burqa or not and i dont. Islam ask us to cover our full body and we have the choice in covering the face and the hand. So the women who wear the burqa are wearing it by there own choice. In some countries there famlies make them weare but if you go there you will see that all the women do!! So a women who dont wear a burqa will feel diffrant than the others even she have the choice to wear it or not, she will wear it so she dont see herself as a diffrent femal among the othefs.

They cannot vote, or voice there opinions. This is an imprisonment. Look up Women's movements and maybe you'll realize what the photographer is trying to say! Women can chose what to wear, it is there religion and I'm not saying that is wrong. What is wrong is that these women can not have the deciding factor on their lives.

It's true that they say don't judge a book by it's cover. Who said this lady in the picture isn't happy with wearing her Hijab, the way she wants to? We don't force them too, but they also believe it's to protect their modesty and beauty, after all, real beauty is skin deep right? Who are you to judge them, when there are Billion of Muslim Woman happy and living a fulfilling life, so much many woman around the world, including Europe and America are converting to Islam on their own free will. The Hijab like back in history is still a statement to modern times. It means, I am soo beautiful, you don't need to look at me, and my Muslim Brothers and Friends, Family, and If so, Husband Knows it. Asalaaam. Peace;)!

Now they might object to this preposition, but to find them out we only have to behold what the founders of these religions really wrote and believed. (Ill leave that to you). This is not a act of prejudice or international discrimination, any rational being will simply have to look at the women who wear this and imidiately come to the obvious conclusion that there is oppression and injustice in countries who claim to worship a good god. I have recently been pondering the effects of belief systems and religions on culture and especially women in particular and I have come to the conclusion very quickly that where the name of Jesus Christ is exhalted, the beauty, dignity, elegance and worth of the feminine gender is brought to the for-front of that society. Some think this otherwise, but the historical culture of the west speaks to the fact of it. He made them male and female, different but mutually and pleasurably compatible, different roles in home and things of life but still equal nontheless. I would assure you that Mohammed was not a respected of women, then why should we confusedly marvel that his followers are doing the same...?

First of all your assumption that all Muslim women are 'forced' by men to wear burkah (quote: NOBODY SHOULD BE TOLD WHAT TO WEAR BY A MAN) is very untrue. Exactly how many Muslim women have u asked whether they wear the burkah because they are forced or because of their own will? YES, in some specific and very few places, women ARE forced by men to wear a burkah but that is just because of illiteracy or ignorance. But Believe it or Not, the vast majority of Muslim women who wear a burkah, do it willingly. In fact after 9/11 many Muslim women face problems in USA and Europe because their FATHERS / BROTHERS / HUSBANDS DON’T WANT THEM TO WEAR THE BURKAH as they are concerned about their safety. SO LET THIS BE VERY CLEAR TO EVERYONE THAT THE MAJORITY OF WOMEN WEAR THE BURKAH WILLINGLY AND NO MAN FORCES THEM! Secondly you say “Besides WE ARE ALL NAKED UNDER OUR CLOTHES”, which is obviously true but let me ask u something; Would you ever go out and roam around in public fully nude? Of course not. Why? Because you have some modesty? Similarly Muslim women also have their modesty. The only difference is that the level of modesty is different. Then you say “God designed the human body and it is, in all forms, a beautiful work of art” again a very true statement that I agree with, but unlike you, Muslim women believe that this “beautiful work of art” is to be seen by only some males and not by every other male on the street. Lastly you say “we are free to do anything that does not harm another” again a true statement. but the thing is; not every person in the world agrees to this (otherwise there would be no crime in the world). Due to this we have to TAKE PRECAUTIONS that we don’t become victims to these criminals. One of these precautions would be; locking the front door instead of leaving it wide open before going to sleep. Similarly Muslim women take a PRECAUTION against the rapists by wearing the burkah (for obvious reasons a rapist would be more interested in a woman wearing a bikini than a woman wearing a burkah) OMG your comments made me laugh like crazy (no offense intended)!!!

They are assuming that she is being forced to wear it by her family, religion, or other factors. Did anyone ask her why she is wearing the burqa? Perhaps she wears it for modesty, for the expression of her faith. Maybe she sees it as a symbol of faithfulness, while Westerners see only oppression. Let's refrain from judging this woman until we know the REAL reason why she and others in her country continue to wear the burqa.
