Islamic Hejab

So, here I am yet again following a transient disappearing act. I swear that I have been writing but I have a number of incomplete posts on my account. In addition, due to feeling of shame for not finding the time to load my blog with posts, I tried to delete my blog but the process got halted for some reason. Life is getting so chaotic for me to the extent that I don't get time nor the energy to read e-mails or reply to them for that matter. My idea of watching TV to relax happens while I am typing something for work. Obviously all I could do now is victimise myself..so you all feel boohoo for me

so, I didn't get to have a weekend this time as I had to cover out of service hours. Guess what? I had to do it far and beyond in Ahmadi, my favourite spot to pick up juicy fundamentalist ideas to talk about. I think someone in that hospital figured that there is a person who rips the flayers off the wall, so this time the brain-wash material was in a sticker form which I could not get it completely off the wall*.

The topic which was of great importance in the Ahmadi area was the "Islamic hejab". Our beloved Salafis were promoting what they called the correct Hejab which was basically a woman covered from head to toe, including gloves and socks and black cloak resting on the head. On the flayer, the Salafis denounced all forms of hejabs you witness in ordinary life including the cloak which women commonly wore on the shoulder.

I really do not understand why those idiots are magnifying the sexual notion of women in our region. In return, women liberties and freedom are being violated. I don't see those Salafis talking about "correct men dress", or I don't even hear them criticising the men neglecting their familial responsibilities for their Diwanyas or what have you.

Let's also not forget that the Salafis are the ones who did not want women to get their political rights, but now they are gagging for all women to practice their right because it is an "Islamic responsibility". More like they realised that females constitute a larger proportion of the society, hence greater chance of them winning the elections.

The greater problem: people are blind and forgetful...



NB. The picture is the closest thing I found to the "Islamic Hejab"; the Alsader picture dramatises the scene
