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

I know, but not all the women of Iran for example actually WANT to wear a hijab. So some of them might be "themselve" in hidden places. (Never been to Iran, but my friend lives there and he told me about it)

Thanks :3

Yes it does. It's called culture and tradition.

No one is going to forget their culture and tradition of their ancestors for the sake of the modern world. How you see the modern world is totally subjective.

It's funny because as soon as someone criticises Islam, all the Muslims jump and scream "ISLAMOPHOBIA".

Do societal customs from hundreds of years ago have any place in the modern world?

It's funny because you assume everyone who is muslim do this. Im not a muslim.

But what's happening isn't criticism. It's hate speech and inciting hatred. I've seen very inflammatory comments where people take a sarcastic and patronising tone and try to veil it with false logic. A simple minded person sees all this as criticism, someone who is a little more bright will be able to see the reality. If you think there isnt islamophobia on TSR then im afraid i cant help you. OP obviously did this to incite hatred and bashing of islam, just look through some of the comments on this thread.

It was no longer in power but it certainly spurred Islamic fundamentalism. This is really what i'm trying to say.

I doubt it would have been de-islamicised, groups like the Mujahideen and the war that occurred proved that people werent accepting of this. But I think we would have to agree to disagree here.

Of course, definitely agree. Soviets were completely anti - Religion

So taking random pictures of random women at random places on random dates is supposed to make people think that Muslim women nowadays have no right? Lol I need to get my ass back to school

So taking random pictures of random women at random places and random dates is supposed to make people think that all the women of the countries above are covered today ?

Go to the countries and 101% you'll be able to take each of the pics.

Being civilized is about wearing what you want.

Perhaps it was a general question?

Since when is Islamophobia bad in any way at all? The religion is full of contradiction and defo isn't compatible with the West in terms of its values.

Well this is certainly the first time I've ever been accused of being a pro-communist propagandist!

You're right it's a bit more complicated, but not making that much difference in the final analysis. Afghanistan had a reformist king who, under Soviet "advice", established a parliament stacked with reformists. When he finally held a free election, the parliament was controlled by rural conservatives. Rather than face a second such parliament, urban reformists overthrew the king and his parliament and established a leftist one-party state. This state was in turn overthrown by communists who, without any real support in the country, appealed to the Soviets to back their rule, which the Soviets did.

Reformism and later full-blown communism in Afghanistan began as a coupist movement by a native urban elite minority, with the Soviets acting only as advisers and political backers, but it never commanded enough support to stay in power on its own. If the Soviets had not backed it up, it would have fallen even sooner.

Oh so we should let women be treated as second class citizens now because it's 'culture and tradition'?

You're the one who snipped out the main point I was making. You chose to reply to this bit, not the point I was actually making.

Funnily enough, you just prove my point, especially since you choose to put yourself in that position.

Yeah, but the issue is specifically about how people dress in public, I think. I doubt that even the Saudi authorities would care if a single man was dressing up as a woman in his own time and in the privacy of his own home.

Though yes, some women do resent having to wear hijab and such.

So taking random pictures of random women at random places on random dates is supposed to make people think that

"Since when is Islamophobia bad in any way at all" nah your parents must defo hate you loool

I don't think you are very aware. Women would be literally lynched in the streets in many parts of the muslim world for wearing what they did in the 70's.

He's generalising you cretin, are all Muslim women covered up? Ignorant moron I feel sorry for your upbringing.

And since when does covering up get rid of Women's rights.

Precisely, most of these women cannot wear what they want. In Iran, it is illegal for a woman to be uncovered.

Moreover, in other Muslim countries, uncovered women are regularly assaulted and, since the police don't prosecute these incidents, they are forced to wear a full veil to walk in peace.

Answer the question then. Why is it that whenever some other religion gets criticism not that many people say a thing.

But when Islam gets criticised you go nuts and then try and rave though you can't back it up to save your life.


Logic. Not everyone is a slave to religion babe.

Thank you for the brief history except on Russian-Afghanistan relations but it does not address your spurious claim that miniskirts and other forms of "liberal dress" were down to the USSR, given the fact that the photos generally pre-date whatever it is that you are talking about.
