What happened to women's rights in the muslim world?

I was talking about women who choose to dress like that, some do and people still insult it. The issue here is the regime of these countries dictating how they can dress, they're being oppressed by not being given the choice to wear what they want. The issue isn't what they're wearing.

I'm not accusing you of attacking anybody btw

Of course not, as the prophet clearly stated, women are mentally deficient.

Be realistic majority of women do not have same physical strength as men. And majority men do not have same capacity as woman.

The Holy Qur’an states that all believers, without distinction, are equal and that only righteous deeds elevate one person above another. Muslims therefore have an immense respect for righteous and pious men and women. Islamic history also tells us that men and women both served in many capacities from being teachers, doctors, leaders and even as soldiers in battle when Muslims were under attack.

Islam however also recognises that such equality does not mean that men and women are the same. It notes their different physical and emotional strengths and in view of this sets out their key roles in life. The roles are therefore not a question of superiority or inferiority, but a question of natural capacity and proper functioning.

But by equality what do you mean so like do you want to see that women doing the exact same things as men?

What's even more sad is that muslim women think this way too, but I guess this is what happens when you've been indoctrinated from the second you're born and on top of that you live in fear of consequences from your family and community . It's disheartening reading all these threads on here with kids wanting to leave islam but being petrified to do it. They live in the UK but at the same time they are stuck in their parallel universe which is quite surreal in a 21st century modern democracy.

It is the regime, ofcourse it is. The way the women are dressed is a byproduct of that oppressive regime, however if a woman who chose to dress like that, a free women not restrained by any kind of political/ cultural oppression then good for her! I'm happy for her, she should dress how she feels best.

But if it's under political influence then no, I find it sad.

As a girl I'm just as emotionally capable as a boy, I can handle stressful situations as well as a guy can. I have mental strength and capacity as a guy does.

Our bodies are different but I can perform equally. If worked the same job as a man, I can perform just as well or better.

What is my key role in life as a woman then? because I've already told you I'm just as emotionally capable as a guy is...

Our "natural capacity" is dictated by how we live our lives, not by what we're told out natural capacity is.

At the very least we can say the women at the time of the prophet covered themselves in a similar manner straight after the verses regarding covering up were revealed. If they were misinterpreting what God wanted then they had Allah's messenger to correct them but nothing was said against the women's interpretation. There is a hadith which shows this and I'll find it tomorrow Insha'Allah.

If you can't support your Muslim sisters who want to simply follow in the footsteps of people like Ayesha ra, then please don't hate them and degrade them online because I certainly doubt you would openly diss the Prophet's wives for their clothes.

I support women who need to realise there is more to them than just a black cloak,I don't support archaic ideas.

Ohhh, I misinterpreted your words and accidentally repped you. My bad. The OP knows how TSR works.

1. Post something immigrant/muslim related
2. Some people reply back explaining something
3. Gang of islamophobes join in bashing Islam from all directions.

Any idiot KNOWS how these things go down. OP ain't looking for an "intellectual discussion".

You could ask the same thing for Muslims in the UK tbh

When my grandfather immigrated here, immigrant Muslim women wouldn't wear niqabs or abayas or anything. Many didn't even feel the need to wear a headscarf (my mum didn't in my childhood, now she does )

I saw something similar in India. When my grandmother was growing up, she told me she never actually saw anyone with niqabs or abayas either. She saw a couple of women who covered their heads with a cloth but that was it.

In the summer we both went to Agra and we saw a bunch of Muslim women. Every single one of them was covered head to toe in black (I couldn't even see their eyes or anything). How they managed to cover themselves up in black in such humidity I'm never going to know but I'm surprised they didn't faint from the heat.

I had the fortune of being in Agra just two weeks ago and that was not my experience at all. Out of the thousands of people that I saw, there was only one that was wearing the Niqaab (I don't know if you can actually call it a Niqaab because some of them just wrap their scarf around their face leaving their eyes and nose uncovered).

As for the dark colours, it seems unnatural at first but Bedouins and other desert-dwellers have been doing that for generations. Apparently the colour black acts similar to how a thermos would, in that the inner part remains cool, whilst the outer part (the black part) absorbs the heat.

I would be willing to bet my first-born daughter

Depends on where in Agra. I was at the Taj Mahaal and I saw a bunch of them, and they were speaking in Hindi so I'm assuming they were Indian.

I was also at the Taj Mahal.

As for speaking Hindi, the next time I go to India and I hear people in Delhi speak Urdu (which seems to be far more commonplace than Hindi), I'll assume that they are all Pakistani's, shall I?

Yo. Find me the part where I said that religions can't be criticised.

If someone wants to criticise a relgiion, feel free, fair dos. But if said person tries to be islamophobic and disguises it as an "innocent question", that's inciting hatred.

Criticise every religion all you guys like but be up front about it rather than hiding behind a lame question with a misleading photo.
