I am a religious Muslim and disagree. Also hijabi women are EXTREMELY judgmental, hippocritical and snooby.
Also, according to several sects, the hijab is NOT a requirement but even those who think it is are not allowed to dictate how others live. "There is no compulsion in religion" and "to you be your religion and to me be mine" are parts of Islam they forget. That man you talked to is just shifting blame for his actions/stupidity onto others and using Islam as an excuse.
All this said, one thing you might want to keep in mind is, a lot of these men have never seen women in shorts/skirts/bikinis and they need to be educated about Western culture and respecting others the way they respect us.
I have seen nothing but respect here as I ask wait staff that there not be non-halal meat/alcohol in my food, one girl even went and asked her manager and possibly others and then found me in the food court to tell me after I decided to look elsewhere and in more upscale restaurants, they always remove the alcohol menu for us, a woman in Maine even warned us the fries are cooked in the same pan as pork. Seeing this, I have a ton of respect for the western culture and this "Muslim" man should too.
I'm not Muslim, but... Both.
Absolutely, men should have control. And frankly I don't buy that any individual man /doesn't/ have control. The ones that rape /do/ have full control and have made the choice to do it.
At the same time, women /do/ have the freedom to choose how they dress, just like person who hikes in the deep woods has the freedom to choose how they dress. But, they should probably choose their gear based on their knowledge of the environment; boots because there'll be snakes biting at their ankles, or pants for the poison ivy brushing their legs, or a wide brim hat to keep the sun off. Dress for the environment. #notallmen, but certainly some of them, and until we figure out how to label them all, it is most advisable to put your own restraints on that particular freedom.
First, I really don't think this is a Muslim problem at all, and labeling it as one is idiotic and leaving out a key area of information.
Second, rape is illegal. No one is asking to be raped. They didn't CONSENT, that's the whole point. Women don't dress to be raped, and blaming it on their clothing is the equivelant of blaming the victim for the deeds of the murderer. Women also don't dress for the pleasure of men. They dress for themselves. You can not put the distraction of men on the shoulders of women. That perpetuates their status as second class citizens because their comfort and confidence is being forcibly sacrificed to allow men to focus.
Again, this isn't a Muslim problem AT ALL. This is a school dress code problem. This is a universal rape problem. This is an American problem.
I would like to vote but the options are all so specified "subjectively" I couldn't choose. I the real religion of Islam, yes, women should wear hijab (and mind you, hijab isn't just a "veil", you can search about hijab by yourself) and men should also cover himself with hijab. What I want to point out here is that if you guys criticize Islam because it's so oppressive to women, NO. Both women and men should wear hijab to cover their own "awrats", though the "awrats" of men and women are different.
The real Muslim men don't fully blame women if there's a rape, because Muslim men, just like Muslim women, are taught to "lower the gaze". To understand it better, watch this video:
Thank you.
Women shouldn't have to dress up just because a guy is a fucking horndog that can't control himself. If he is afraid that he can't control himself, he just needs to be killed or put in jail.
As far as I'm concerned, a man or a woman could be standing completley naked, they still doesn't give anyone, male or female, the right to touch them or rape them.
That's such a self-drag This guy is really insinuating that all Muslim men are rapists who can't control themselves.
How about they leave women alone for once.

He's kinda right cause he's basically saying muslim men are a little savage and can't control their urges
if a women shows her hair the men there might lose control and jump
In her like a wild cat in the jungle
Might be bad for the women but the muslim men might be worse. So its the lessor of the two evils
They can dress like ninja, and rape can still happen.
That is an idiotic statement. Rape is a violent crime that is irrelevant to what the victim wears. I'm Muslim and I know that.
Seriously. There are other, more legal ways to get rid of a boner. I'm not even talking about prostitution.
5he first part is true. I work retail and it's reeeealy hard not to look at a foot of cleavage 3 feet from my face. Or short shorts or yoga pants, etc. People should be able to control themselves, to an extent ie no touch. But just don't expect guys to control their dicks or eyes. :T
This has to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
I mean thats probably why the concept of a hijab came into place but its evolved nowadays and muslim women who choose to do it, do it now as a symbol for how they're worth more than theur bodies.
What is the matter with Hispanic Bitch Guy? Why touch sensitive issues like this? Everyone has their own beliefs. Why the fuck pin point a certain man?
You r 32 but u act like a 12 year old. Grow up...
Most men are majorly raised and shaped by their mothers. What a son does (or does not) reflects the quality of his mother.
Maybe its not your buisness as its our society nit yours...
In our society men MUST control themselves... dont act like you dont get it , idiot
In our society girls CHOOSE to cover because its safer... they are not forced... they have a mind (unlike you) and they know that if tjey cover they will lower chances of being raped
Numbers show that jordan for example almost have ZERO raping cases... USA on the other hand for example have A LOT
they dress decent not scantly dressed or covered up like a ninja.
Well obviously this guy is brainwashed
It’s the woman’s choice
I'm muslim. Show results.
Disagree
that's what God says
