It is no exaggeration to say that in their quest to malign Islam, some in the West target Muslim women. Her position within the family, her place in society and, of course, her dress are placed under the microscope - and like colonialists in the days of empire, her emancipation is seen to be a means to a greater Islamic reformation. In recent days, France’s minister of education has announced that Abayas, the loose dress many Muslims wear for modesty, will be banned from schools. Apparently, a piece of clothing is an affront to French secularism and, yet again, another sign of separatism. In the UK, the former prime minister likened burka-wearing Muslim women is a those who chose to look like letterboxes and bank robbers.
Young Muslim women are subject to a barrage of what can only be called propaganda, traducing their religious dress and promising to liberate them from their religion. To help us understand how this works and to caution against some of the extremes by which the community can handle this onslaught.

​​@@alliyahsgalaxyin some countries, being Muslim is tough due to the pressure and oppression. Brave is not a wrong term to use for those Muslims especially the reverts. It does not help, to discount their bravery in facing the challenges in following Allah's law. Let's not patronise please, especially if we're not on the receiving end of oppression. Let's pray for them to be steadfast in their faith in Allah.

[@alliyahsgalaxy]

Yes, that is true. But in the West, ie where Lauren Booth comes from, the UK, we are free to wear the hijab most places. Maybe an odd remote village here or there may be difficult. I would say wearing it in India now is very brave, and also Chinese Uyghur's etc. So yes, you could say it is brave. I ultimately see it as a blessing either way from Allah.

Assalamu Alaikum In solidarity with the Muslims in France, especially the girls, I'm wearing an abaya to school. We should support our Muslim brothers and sisters.

[@fabs8498]

Millions of french muslims in France don't want abaya in school. Because they are french like jews or christians and understand the laws. A few young girls didn't understand. They had an explaination and accept. The father of one refused. He went to school and said he was hoing to kill them. A few months ago a teacher was beheaded by the familly for a lesson about freedom of dpeech, Why abaya is a political outfit in France ? It's not a traditionnal outfit from north africa but middle east. During the 10 years of civil war in algeria the FIS committed murders, massacres, attacks and obliged women to wear abayas. In France it began at the same time that djihadism. Woman can wear abaya in France but not in school. Because it's religious. They have to do Like jews or christians or buddhist or other muslims. No teligion in a republic school. Or parents can choose a private school.

[@Notsurprising]

Very strong point about What we are consuming on internet!! This is why I had to stop watching movies. Especially instagram!! Uploading our photos there is asking people to like us, we begin to beg people for validation instead of being self aware, secure and content in our own skin. We are told we can be “influencers” and earn money. These Are psychological attacks on us that most of us sadly don’t even realise!!!

[@mas-udal-hassan9277]

The secular West’s double standards are glaringly evident from how they deal with “irrationality”. When this so-called irrationality is linked with religion it’s a problem. However, when it comes to things like “gender fluidity” it’s completely fine. Another example that can be mentioned is how the “clairvoyant” Edgar Cayce was extremely popular during the early 20th-century. And it’s the same story when it comes to aliens. The secular West, unable to fight its innate tendency to believe in the ghayb, proposes the likely existence of a non-human species which could communicate with our world - the same way Muslims believe in the jinn! Of course all of this is done in the name of their own religion: science. They even have their own priests in the form of astrobiologists etc. This belief of theirs is of the same nature as ours, even if they try and add some pseudo-empiricist spice: there may be tangible elements pointing towards the existence of aliens. They fail to grasp how we too say there are “tangible elements” regarding the influences of the jinn within our world.* .

[@ankhmorpok1497]

Its the difference between some irrational Muslim blowing himnself up and killing people over some irrational rubbish about re-establiswhing some Caliphate fantasy to a person wanting to go through gender transition. One involves hurting others and the other is a personal choice. Do you get it now?@@mas-udal-hassan9277

Muslim intellectuals 😂 Good one 👍🏾 Ablutions (Wudu') (13)Chapter: The going out of women for answering the call of nature(13)باب خُرُوجِ النِّسَاءِ إِلَى الْبَرَازِ Sahih al-Bukhari 146 Narrated `Aisha: The wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) used to go to Al-Manasi, a vast open place (near Baqi` at Medina) to answer the call of nature at night. `Umar used to say to the Prophet (ﷺ) "Let your wives be veiled," but Allah's Apostle did not do so. One night Sauda bint Zam`a the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) went out at `Isha' time and she was a tall lady. `Umar addressed her and said, "I have recognized you, O Sauda." He said so, as he desired eagerly that the verses of Al-Hijab (the observing of veils by the Muslim women) may be revealed. So Allah revealed the verses of "Al-Hijab" (A complete body cover excluding the eyes).

[@ankhmorpok1497]

There were a series of statements from the lady about Muslim women's experiences that are far from reality. There is a reason there is a Western-inspired move to give Muslim women more rights over family life, work, inheritance etc across the Muslim world and not the other way of the West cloistering women at home and discouraging them from working as many of our Mullahs want.

[@mas-udal-hassan9277]

For all of those who think it is ideal if Muslim women are not financially dependent on men: Would it be ideal if Muslim men were not sexually dependent on their women? For example would it be ideal if men could purchase (at low cost) harems of docile life-like forever-young sex robots? How would you respond to Muslim men who justified this by saying such robots are necessary to give men true independence, such that they are not forced to stay in relationships with women who are rude, jealous, controlling, manipulative, fat, old, or ugly? How would you respond to Muslim men who said that Muslim women need to "step up their game" such that men choose to be with them instead of a robot that is more friendly, beautiful, young, and thin? The cop out answer is to say sex robots are haram, but there are other conceivable halal alternatives that would do the same thing: flood men with cheap alternatives. Obviously such alternatives would weaken and ultimately destroy marriage because it takes away the dependence that men have on women for sex. But that is literally what giving women financial independence does; it makes them independent from men. And that's why no society or religion ever did give women that independence, except for our current dystopia.

Can we please cut some slack to those of us who are Muslims and don’t wear headscarves? We’ve fought many barriers to get where we are and continue to do so.

In fact, some of them have a sort of arrogance whereby people like me are looked down upon because I choose to work and they’re at home raising their families, as if I’m not! Also, please don’t forget- we are a religion of intentions, so headscarf or not, we’ll be judged according to what’s in our hearts and how we act vs wearing an item of clothing and pretending we’re holier than though.

What a conversation..

[@longdriv]

This is very much needed in our family circles.. Though uncomfortable but such discussions are now requirement. What nice idea to bring up talk shows wr u rnt involved directly with ur daugghters... Though present time demands it from fathers to be ready to explain to their kids islamic discipline... And learn language to be used and make the choice of words correctly.. Such talk shows can be very useful...

We in middle east are feeling tremors... We r feeling heat.. I donot want to imagine what it is in west...

[@longdriv]

This non sense, trash has impacted muslim youth horribly... We can see the impact already.. The raising number of unmarried.. The delay in marriage... The rising number of divorce.. These are painful.. And as muslim... It is painfull to see this in our community... The rulers, the scholars tge community got to dp smthing abt this..

France has Milked so much natural resources etc from African Muslims countries for hundreds of years and is still milking so many countries assets up today you would think they would not care what Muslim women wear. Great video thankyou.

Living in a non Muslim country is HARAM. There're ahadith on it.

The guides are there & people are willing to follow too, the problem is not being able to practice without being judged & consistently condemned! Not just by others but our own society too!

Living in a non-muslim country where I can freely choose and live in our society as a Muslim woman, I wonder of the experience of hijabi travellers (for business and leisure reasons) to these places that have these anti-modest, anti-Islamic-wear etc. policies.

I would like to move to Turkey too but not sure how safe it is for single Muslim women?
