According to what I read and documentries I've seen it is a real problem currently affecting hundreds of millions.

I am not sure what you mean by system, but if you are talking about the hijab it isn't going anywhere. Muslim women in many parts of the world have shown even if they are barred from education, thrown out of jobs, etc they will keep to their principles.

If your sources were Pakistan media, chances are good that the facts were severely distorted. In my state, Kerala, one of the most flourishing communities (statistically) belong to what was once a backward caste. But yes, in Northern India, caste issues still exist, though most of it is money-related. If you have money, no one gives a shit about your caste.

In Kerala, we have a few Muslim woman revolutionaries though - some of them want some of these gender discriminatory practices abolished. Different regions - different women I suppose. Anyway, my base point is that there are still a good number of women who want to escape these shackles but are unable to. Those women need to be rescued.

I most definitely have. The few odd occurrences of caste and religion based evil do not negate the improvements that have been happening elsewhere.

> Yeah, doing some R&D from home Sounds plenty of fun. I'm at the office now. Time to do what needs to be done, and then perhaps begin tackling the next problem. Between the boring business rules and operations, there are some tidbits of fun. I'll save them for last I think. That and the GUI stuff that's been itching me for quite some time now. I brought my company's flagship application into the 21st century GUI-wise some month ago. There are still plenty of room for improvements, which I know both I and the customers will be happy with. I've even made peace with MFC, so I remain quite calm when I fiddle with the GUI. :) (Although, I really miss WTL, and its awesome message/event handling) -- Pictures[^] from my Japan trip.

Not necessary. I believe that even in the US, UK etc. there are Muslim women who have to wear it even if they don't really want to.
NIsh,i have seen women in India who wear saris,i ve seen thousands of people in life who wear and i believe there forced to wear clothes ,otherwise they wanted to be naked all the time. could you explain how why those women wear sarees and why ppl wear clothes?are they forced to wear anything? Thanks MyBlogs http://weblogs.com.pk/kadnan
Let's assume an Indian walked out of the house naked. Would she Indian authorities put her to death for it? I doubt it, not sure, but I doubt it. That's what's putting these guys over the top. They want to kill people for not dressing properly. That's fucked up! Why don't they simply protest? Why the killing? BW

You are wrong. Most, I repeat, most women wear Islamic headscarfs because they choose to. Farhan Noor Qureshi if (this == this) thow this;

Good, then why can't they (The musilum community) control these nuts who want to force everone to conform to shria law. I have no problem whith any religion, as long as they are not messing with anyone else. And anytime anytime anyone else points it out, they are called "hate mongers". Not true, they just want these nuts to cut it out, live and let live.

Actually Kdaddy is a male slut..he follows following verses of Duet[^] and checks virginity of her daugther by using Tokens :laugh: 13 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her, 14 And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid: 15 Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate: 16 And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her; 17 And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. 18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him; :laugh: MyBlogs http://weblogs.com.pk/kadnan

Possibly but the numbers cited is in the 100's of millions and that is a big problem.

Probably because they can move to a better place; though what was shown for example is that women of a certain caste has to walk out side bare foot.

I guess you don't understand why they chose to wear it. For you it seems the less they wear the more they are free.

Given that India's population is 1 billion (10 x 100 million), it's easy to see that "100s of millions" is an exaggeration.

I am not talking about those who want to wear it. The main issue discussed in this thread is that a Bangladeshi terrorist organization has announced that they will kill any woman who dares to go out unveiled. So, there are woman who want to do so, and they should be protected.

May I know your country of origin?
Suffice it to say that several generations back I come from regions of the world that would be considered secular. Life here made it such that I had to decide wheather I believed in Islam or not; and in Islam a strong belief comes from knowledge I had to go around learning what it is. The benefit though of learning Islam here is that I was freed from alot of the culture norms that is attributed to the religion by alot of people.

Because I find it hard to believe that a North American would have some of the slightly extreme views you've expressed in the last few posts.
I am not sure which extreme views you are refering to but the vast majority Muslims[I am sure you can find a few exceptions] in the world realize the hijab is a religious obligation. As for origin, I have friends who can trace there origins back a couple of hundred years that will tell you the same thing; it has nothing to do with origin.

If the issue is some obscure organization, this is a discussion I am not interested in. Rather I was pointing out the generalization that results from these discussions. Probably last post on this thread for me.

I think that the best way to protect the women is to allow them to carry handguns.

A banned Islamist militant group blamed for a series of bombings in Bangladesh has threatened to kill women, including non-Muslims, if they do not wear the veil, a statement said The group, which wants the introduction of sharia laws in mainly-Muslim Bangladesh, also ordered women students at Dhaka University not to step out after sunset, prompting police to increase security around the campus. :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

Wearing a headscarf is a personal thing that has no impact on society. A person who acts against a supposed command of God should anger God alone and not other human beings. Fellow human beings (i.e. society) can only interfere where the individual's actions harm others. So what right does another human being have to act as God's proxy and mete out punishment ? That, in the context of the same religious beliefs, is the highest form of blasphemy.
