1. Why is wearing a veil part of many religions like Islam, Judaism and Christianity?
2. Have women ever used the veil/covering against the dictatorships where wearing one is mandatory? Example doing something which is illegal in the dictatorship, but the dictators' police force can't stop them as easily because the women are anonymously and covered. It's difficult to see who it's if they're wearing burqa/niqab. #Veil#Hijab#Religion It's difficult to distinguish the wanted one the police wants to catch and the innocent ones if all looks the same.
Why is a veil a part of many religions and has it ever been used against the religious dictatorships?
1. Because the notion of a woman possessing a sexuality of her own, much less showing any skin as evidence of that, is something that many religions have chosen to pretend like doesn't exist for millennia. Also, don't compare head coverings like what is seen in strictly nuns for Christianity, and coverings that sometimes cover everything butt the eyes in religions like Islam that is worn by regular followers. You're comparing apples and oranges there. 2. Have women every used coverage of theri body against a dictatorship? What in the fuck? How would that even work? You think a woman using her body to taunt the military would be all that effective as they riddle her body with bullets?
It's acknowledging that the sexuality exists... And allows people to work together. If it doesn't do that then it is probably a corruption.
I suspect that it is more corrupted than useful... I’m attracted to women with or without (modern) hijab and I don't think that women should be forced to do it. (I do think that spandex and summer dresses shouldn't be at the work place or store, and actually feel assaulted by the image... It's like someone dangling heroin in front of a junkie)
I think many people make it as attractive as possible so it doesn't really serve that purpose any more.
@peugetopian true. I suppose it would make sense for a man who's acting like a mindless buffoon (which you see a lot of in regions where the burka is worn, coincidentally) would want some anonymity.
They probably don't have a tolerance to the beauty of women. If you believe that a creator designed us, we're created attractive... Nudity was not a sin. Our complicated social structure makes clothing helpful, so it's fine.. porn and tempting and manipulating others can be problems. STDs are real concequences to fooling around, so as those evolve the morals need to adapt.
Things I've been taught when young are very hard for me to question.
Why anyone would teach that you get to bang a virgin when you die is ridiculous
@peugetopian 'Why anyone would teach that you get to bang a virgin when you die is ridiculous' Talk to the millions of Muslim 'refugees' flooding into the west.
I don't believe in there being a 'creator' so this whole notion is something I speak about from a completely objective point of view.
Hair has been a major attractive part of women for ages. People like healthy and lush hair.
Covering it up is a good thing, especially for the purpose of being modest. Hair isn't sexual, but don't deny that it is a major factor to a woman's overall attractiveness.
Face isn't compulsory to cover, and, hey, we have so much technology and people can easily change their disguise with makeup or surgery so either way you have to depend on more than appearance to recognise someone.
Islam emphasises a lot on covering the chest. For obvious reasons._.
@TripleAce I never said that a girl who covers her hair doesn't look beautiful. Of course, a girl can still have pretty faces and eyes etc. I have many gorgeous hijabi friends. What I meant to say is, hair is simply another part of a woman's beauty.
Jewish culture, Islam and Christianity are kind of interconnected so there are similarities... I don't know about others. And I agree with you - would be hard to find someone with niqab😂. But it's not part of the religion, it's par of the culture (I'm a Muslim and as far as I know in our religion girls and guys are supposed to dress modestly, which means - for girls - covering the chest and their head)

1.) we'll all three of those have the same origin (Judaism) that's why, but it's because they were deathly afraid of demons raping their women and creating giants. (Or so they said) 2.) no idea
In Islam the women are supposed to cover their body except their face and hands as the prophet said , covering their face or their hand it's not mandatory but in some countries they cover their face because some of them are shy and some they get annoyed when men looking at them and comment about them
If someone is so covered, they probably aren't asking for cat calls... I'm amazed that the guys don't get in trouble... My understanding is that hijab is supposed to apply to men too, like some guy was saying shorts are bad...
Guys are supposed to avert their eyes from temptresses., But I suppose a gal putting on eyeliner and lipstick and stuff is trying to get attention... But it actually looks gross most of the time.

Many religious rules started as advices to avoid problems: with health or with other people. The head covering was originally probably a health advice to avoid sunstrokes. It later became a way to hide female beauty.
I am from india so hindu girls are bonded with the laws of traditional dressing... The same is with muslims... But not every girl follows them Only those who have family pressures... Many also do it to maintain their respect in the society
Veil is not more than dressing pattern, if we are trying to associate with religion, it will always used as instrument to influence particular group, gender of people sentiments to pursue our agenda or agenda of group of people.
Because they all claim that the minute details of the different religions are more important than the fact they all basically believe the same thing. I thought you were supposed to be smart...

3. Do it have to be a veil or do a turtleneck sweater and a hat count as being covered?
