That indicates that there is a problem with men, right? So covering women is just healing the symptoms, instead of healing the disease. -- Pictures[^] from my Japan trip.

I think the original idea was that men shouldn't see the hair of a woman. Apparently it was too tempting for them. I don't particularly like long haired women, so this logic beats me! :)

That is nice :-) I am glad they could do as they wanted to. If they were in Bangladesh, they'd have been worried now I guess.

Quite a few. Even school going girls. Though they aren't very careful with it. I've seen girls whose head cloth keeps falling off ands they don't care a lot.

I cannot bring in any eye-witnesses here. But Muslim lady friends of mine have told me that they moved out to the US (after marriage) for a socially more independent life.

Yes, there are some areas in India with an extremist Muslim population. In Kerala, my state, we often hear of tragic stories relating to such areas. Several radical Islamic movie makers have made movies depicting some of these stories. It's sad, but it has to change. In India, we have different civil laws based on religion. That has to go. If we have a uniform civil code, many of these tragedies can be avoided.

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.

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.
