regarding the "Hijab"

Submitted by donvan (United States), Dec 25, 2006 at 06:52

Thank you for your response. The definition of "Hijab" is a "head covering for MUSLIM WOMEN". Not Hindu, not Christian, not Jewish but MUSLIM. Muslims are followers of Muhammed and Islam. Islam is a political ideology with a definite agenda. The "MUSLIM WOMENS" head covering is indeed political. Perhaps you have convinced yourself that the symbols of Islam are a reflection of piety, but to rest of the non Muhammed world, it is a symbol of repression and terrorism. One may chose to embrace Naziism,Marxism, Islam,etc, but should educate yourself to what you have become.
