I do not choose to agree or deny how others practice their religion - its not my job to agree or disagree with them - I only choose whether I want to live that lifestyle with them and I choose not to cause I'm not Islamic. I have met incredibly happy Islamic woman who wear hijabs that have husbands who adore them and provide for them and treat them like queens. I do not view the veil as a form of violence. I view violent people who act on those thoughts as a form of violent expression to be violent. The veil itself is just a form of clothing, its properties and implications are not universal for all who wear it.
Do it if you want, believe what you want. I don't care. Just don't push it on me.
The Poll don't make sense, many women with Veils travel and work in my City, I consider Islamic Veils to be a Symbol of women oppression, women get killed for not wearing Veils.
I see them but I don't look at them, which I assume is the intention.

I have no problem with Muslims. Most of them are super nice, friendly, considerate and generous. I've met quite a few who fit that description. And I know people who have traveled to places like Syria, Palestine, Iran and Turkey who said the same thing.
The only thing I'm not crazy about are the old fashioned patriarchal norms, which aren't unique to only Muslim cultures.
I never met any fundamentalists.
I don't like burkas or full face coverings at all. But I don't mind hijabs. Some of those are really cute. And I see them as little different from wearing a scarf or a hat.
I'm not sympathetic tbh. It is antithetical to Western values. Body language is essential to communication and integration, and it just seems like a primitive practice with its basis in control. Do what you want in your own country but if you don't broadly speaking respect the culture of the place you are moving to then do not come here. Plus the screaching lefties seem to have no issue with the 'patriarchy' or an absense of women's rights in that regard. Probably cause they know if they said anything then their lives would be at risk? ie cowardice.
I'm not sympathetic towards religion in general given the bloodshed and the violence which is pretty hard to ignore these days.
Head covering, I think they are being respectful to their beliefs and traditions. don't have issue with it.
Veil I think is excessive and I wonder if they feel trapped and abused and controlled.
Yes I've seen as many immigrants in my area from various countries. During Iraq war , was many Muslim women and had a mosque near my house. I visited once and saw a woman there in a panic wanting to escape her husband. Never saw anything like that in my church since women in other beliefs have freedom to leave.
In the first place, I've never seen "A WOMEN". Secondly, ALL religion is BULLSHIT and has done NOTHING but cause death either through wars or because of its INSANE dictates!!
When I see a woman dressed up like that I feel as though she's in a prison and, most likely, a self-imposed prison!! (Same goes for nuns!! WHERE in the bible does it SAY you HAVE to dress like a penguin in a goofy hat that might cause you to fly?) If you don't WANT to dress up like that, band together with others that don't and just STOP dressing that way!! What are they gonna do, mass-murder you ALL because some fucking BULLSHIT religion told them to?
I donāt have any opinion.
Im not religious myself but I donāt judge people for following certain requirements in their own religion.
now do I believe that certain views in religion comes from misogyny? Absolutely. Not only the veils but the beliefs that women should be obedient to their husbands, etc. all stems from sexist beliefs and they disguise it as āgods wishes.ā (But thatās not just an Islam thing every religion plays into it at an extent)
but if thatās the religion you believe in and you want to follow the rules of it, so be it 🤷āāļø
They are free to wear as they please.
The funny thing is, dipshits who disagree are the same dipshits who scream "freedom of speech" when any other girl isn't allowed to wear what she "likes".
It's a whiteknight complex they have. They think all women secretly want to walk around in bikini's, but it's those pesky Muslim men stopping them doing so.
all people are different..
there's good muslims and there is bad Muslims too not only muslims all people u can find th
em different like good, bad, cool, religion, etc..
but honestly there's a high count of bad muslims who destroyed our country like isis Terrorist organizations, such as the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood movement also in Turkey and Egypt that want to kill and destroy in the name of Islam and fight all people to become Muslims by fighting.
No one can say about ISIS that they are not Islam and do not follow Islam... because they are Muslims and they belong to the teachings of the Qur'an. In my opinion, what the terrorists are doing is already in the books of Islam that the clerics are trying to hide. Perhaps they are more frank and interpret verses in the wrong way, perhaps, but the speech is there
Guess I'm going to be the controversial person here. I'm sad they are being compelled to hide themselves as though their body is something inherently sinfull. I hate that if they don't behave as Islam dictates they face social isolation or physical harm. I'm frustrated that Muslims treat women and the LGBTQ community very poorly.
It is alien to see a woman covered from head to foot and I sort of dislike it as it is an alien culture.
One thing I have noticed is the girls who only have their eyes showing do put a lot of effort into their eye makeup and unashamedly meet your gaze.
I don't hate the woman, or think of her as lesser. I do feel pity for her though, and accept that her morals will not align with mine, as she is willing to accept and promote a book that actively encourages violence and inequality among people.
If I see a hijÄbi/niqÄbi, my first thought would be that Sheās most probably Muslima (few other women wear veils). I go to Her and say assalÄmu 3alaykunu warahmatullÄhi wabarakÄtu. G-d forgives all sins of people who wish each other peace, according to one hadÄ«th. Iām happy that not everyone want to break G-dās mitzvah and dress seductively.
The headscarf is not just a thing in Islam. It is also in your Bible and Torah.
In non Muslim countries, Muslim women with covering are ill treated rather victom of hate and humiliation but in Muslim countries, respected
On some real shit that she would get punished if I saw her face, simply cause I'm not very informed on other religions so I don't know how it really is, I'm just going by what I pick up
Since they are forced to do it then they are slaves to the old fashion rules. Think about it, if the Quran, the Holy Bible, or etc. were written in todayās modern world it would be totally different.
I used to work with a woman who wore a complete burka and the first time I saw her as I was getting into an elevator it startled me (WTF? A black ghost?). But generally it just makes me curious as to what she looks like.
Islam is not religions it's a way of life and covered girls are best in world. In Islam females are like gems and people mostly covered and hide it their gems.
It causes a desire to remove the veil and long clothing to see what beauty lies underneath it all.
hijab is a necessary thing
I notice it and don't think anything else about it
