Title: Non-muslim hijab draws racist attacks Post by shockresist on Jul 23rd, 2013 at 5:36pm Taking the decision to wear hijab after developing a sun allergy, Dennis Queen could not imagine the amount of racist attacks Muslim women face in their daily life. “People immediately assume I’m Muslim. I don’t mind that but I find the racist comments just disgusting,” Queen told The Express newspaper. “I’ve been called a race traitor and it’s really opened my eyes to the kind of daily racism Muslims have to put up with.” The 40-year-old mum-of-four who has developed a condition known as Polymorphic Light Eruption (PMLE), which means just a few minutes in the sun causes her skin to break out in an itchy red rash. “When I first got PMLE I tried applying sun creams and wearing sun hats but nothing seemed to work,” Queen said. “The rash was unbearable and it got to the point that I was avoiding going out.” After looking for clothes to cover her whole body, Dennis realized traditional Islamic dress were the ideal solution. Deciding to wear the traditional Muslim dress, Queens was able to live a normal life again. “The burka is the only thing that provides any real protection from the sun and I actually really enjoy wearing it now,” she said. “All my Muslim friends have been so supportive of me wearing this, so it really upsets me. “I was genuinely shocked by the fear and hatred that people seem to have,” she added. After donning hijab, she realized the amount of racist attacks Muslim women face in their daily lives. “The only people that seem to have a real problem with me wearing a burka are racists – and I don’t care about offending racists,” Queen said. “I’ve had some racist comments a few times but to be honest I don’t really care what a racist thinks of me.” Librating For Queen, hijab made her a more “understanding person”, adding to her self-confidence. “I was self-conscious to begin with, but I had a lot of encouragement from friends, and I actually find it quite liberating,” she said. “I’m really happy with the decision I made. “Wearing a burka means I can get one with my daily life and I don’t have to worry about my skin. “I don’t feel any less attractive or any less feminine because I’m wearing a burka. “I feel confident and it’s made me a more understanding person.” The British mum hopes her story would inspire others to take a similar decision and cover up. “I can only hope that people might read this and take the same decision that I have. You don’t need to spend lots of money on special clothing or the latest medicines. “You just need to take practical steps to cover yourself up.” Britain is home to a Muslim community of nearly 2.5 million. Islam sees hijab as an obligatory code of dress, not a religious symbol displaying one’s affiliations. |

Because a bonnet or a hood (like little red riding hood) wouldn't do? Only dressing like a Muslim would help. There are plenty of traditional European Female clothing options that would keep the sun off her. This story has attention seeking - making a political statement - written all over it.

I have read reports that there have been cases of muslim women having low vitamin d levels, ive also read that the vitamin d theory is flawed in women.
So its hard to say what is right or wrong. Many family members of mine were the hijab and they are perfectly fine.I also know many people who have worn the scarves for 30-40 years and there healthy. |

English not your first language, son? That's OK, practice makes perfect - or at least expands your vocabulary. I call bullsh1te on this article, simply because the whole tone of said article is designed to 'enlighten' an 'ignorant' public while excusing the oft ignored ultimate aim of Islam itself. 'Dennis' should have more common sense, or at least a basic understanding of public sentiment, when 'she' decided to adopt such a recognisable item of Islamic garb and then describe it as such. What on earth was wrong with a bit of Romany headwear? Plenty of scarves there. The constant spin-doctoring of Islam's bloody face is wearing a bit thin. We are not so removed from atrocity that we cannot recognise it when it wears, and hides behind, a victim's face. That comment becomes more telling when it is we, on the other side, who actually express it. I wouldn't wear ochre and paint to an Aboriginal gathering. Does that make me racist? By the same token, I have no interest in blowing up their celebrations, or celebrating with them. Would that view preclude me from then becoming a Muslim? I think perhaps it might. |

What is ugly is the religion they convert from cause its so ugly so many people leaving there religion and converting to islam. Rebecca Minor a special education teacher who converted to Islam five years ago. When her students, ages 5 to 8, ask why she wears a headscarf, she always says the same thing: "It's something that's important to me and it reminds me to be a good person," says Minor, who is secretary for the Muslim Coalition of Connecticut. Minor, who is single, says she was intrigued by Islam in college, when she was close friends with a deployed American Marine but had Muslim friends at school."I saw a huge discrepancy in the negative things I heard coming from my (friend) and the actions I could see in my co-workers," she recalls. After spending 18 months learning about Islam, she decided to convert. The response from family and friends has been overwhelmingly supportive, Minor says. "The more you can do to educate people about Islam, not by preaching, but by actions, the better," she says. She is from New-Brunswick, the French speaking part of Canada and her name is Stephanie Roy, 24 years old. She is currently residing in Ottawa. She converted on July 28, 2012 from Catholicism to Islam. She is an avid blogger and Youtuber and the Editor-in-Chief of Open Interpretations, a newsletter about Islam from a progressive and interfaith perspective.

Basically it's a identity quest that those loonies have involved themselves in. If one is looking for spiritual answers, well his own people religion can help a big deal, not to mention catholicism for the canadian girl.
Have a maroccan friend, woman, like to tease her about Islam as she's a quite orthodoxe believer. I ask : "Well, ok, guys got 75 virgins in Heaven once they died for Allah's sake. But what about women ? What do you get up there ? 75 boys ?" And then she replies laughing "Mmmm, probably yes". :D So i keep asking, "Ok so Heaven is all about having booth and gogo dancers club all around ?". And then again "Well, yes, because on earth we refused to enjoy that, so we will be given thousand of times of it". Not much spiritual, indeed. |
Title: Re: Non-muslim hijab draws racist attacks Post by True Colours on Aug 26th, 2013 at 10:49am
72 virgins are not mentioned in the Quran or the most authentic books of hadeeth. It is simply something brought up by Islamophobes in desperate attempt to discredit Islam.
The Quran informs of God's promise that those He is pleased with (monotheistic doers of good deed) will be admitted to an everlasting Paradise where people live in bliss - both tangible and spiritual: there will be twofold reward for what they did 34:37 God has promised the believers - men and women - gardens under which rivers flow to dwell therein forever, and beautiful mansions in Gardens of Eden; But the greatest bliss is the Good Pleasure of God. That is the supreme success. 9:72 Therein they shall be met with greetings and the word of peace and respect. 25:75 the Mercy (paradise) of your Lord is better than the (wealth of this world) which they amass. 43:32 We shall remove from their breasts any (mutual) hatred or sense of injury (which they had, if at all, in the life of this world) 7:43 no fear shall be on you, nor shall you grieve. 7:49 Evil shall touch them not, nor shall they grieve. 39:36 Verily, the pious will be in place of Security (paradise). 44:51 Neither darkness nor dust nor any humiliating disgrace shall cover their faces. 10:26 will enter paradise and not the least injustice, even to the size of a speck on the back of a date-stone, will be done to them. 4:124 Beautified for men is the love of things they covet; women, children, much of gold and silver (wealth), branded beautiful horses, cattle and well-tilled land. This is the pleasure of the present world's life; but God has the excellent return (an everlasting paradise that is better) with Him. 3:14 The description of paradise which the pious have been promised (is that) in it are rivers of water the taste and smell of which are not changed, rivers of milk of which the taste never changes, rivers of wine delicious to those who drink, and rivers of clarified honey (clear and pure) therein for them is every kind of fruit, and forgiveness from their Lord. 47:15 And when you look there (in paradise), you will see a delight (that cannot be imagined), and a great dominion. 76:20 whosoever does a righteous deed, whether male or female and is a true believer (in the Oneness of God), such will enter paradise, where they will be provided therein (with all things in abundance) without limit. 40:40 paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth, (is) prepared for the Righteous. 3:133 whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception (a deceiving thing). 3:185 Gardens of pleasure 5:65 a generous provision 8:4 forgiveness and generous provision 8:74 wherein are everlasting delights. 9:21 angels shall enter unto them from every gate (saying): "Peace be upon you" for that you persevered in patience! Excellent indeed is the final home!" 13:23-4 a beautiful place 13:29 For them will be Eden paradise (everlasting Gardens); wherein rivers flow underneath them; therein they will be adorned with bracelets of gold, and they will wear green garments of fine and thick silk. They will recline therein on raised thrones. How good is the reward, and what an excellent abode! 18:31 They shall not hear therein (in paradise) any evil vain talk, but only Peace 19:62 Gardens underneath which rivers flow (in paradise), wherein they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls and their garments therein will be of silk. 22:23 Blessed be He (God) Who, if He will, will assign you better than that (which is in the Heavens and the Earth), - Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise) and will assign you palaces. 25:10 the best abode, and have the fairest of places 25:24 Verily, the dwellers of the paradise, that Day, will be busy with joyful things. 36:55 (You) who believed in Our revealed miracles (i.e.. verses from the Quran, etc.) and were Muslims (i.e. who submit totally to God's Will, and believe in the Oneness of God); Enter Paradise, you and your wives, in happiness. Trays of gold and cups will be passed round them, (there will be) therein all that the one's inner-selves could desire, all that the eyes could delight in, and you will abide therein forever. This is the Paradise which you have been made to inherit because of your deeds which you used to do (in the life of the world). Therein for you will be fruits in plenty, of which you will eat (as you desire). 43:69-73 |

As far as I am aware, ciltorodectomy is not endorsed by any religion. It is purely a cultural practice. This is borne out where it is practiced in parts of Africa as it practiced by pagans, Christians and Muslims - but is based in ancient culture not religion. The practice is referred to as "Pharonic circumcision" which should give you some idea of how ancient the practice is and how it predates both Christianity and Islam. ian wrote on Jul 23rd, 2013 at 11:12pm:

Vitamin D should not really be the issue that islamophobes try to make it out to be. In Muslim countries, houses have traditionally been built as compounds with high walls surrounding the house and garden where women were able to sunbathe without strangers perving on them. The Islamic caliphs even established planning restrictions that limited heights of houses so that women's privacy could not be violated in their homes by someone building a multi-storey house next door. Today, in Australia, if one has a backyard, fast-growing bushes can be planted around the property borders in order to provide private areas. Alternatively, as Australia is a large and sparsely-populated country, a family can easily drive a short distance to find an isolated area where women can enjoy privacy in nature. I often take my family camping in isolated areas and it doesn't cost much to do so. A woman can even get sunlight by sitting next to window that faces the sun for 10 minutes. Otherwise, vitamin D supplements are readily available for those who live in windowless, backyardless homes, and who do not have cars. |

Many Jews, Christians, Slavs were killed during ww2 by Germans, based on this fact, does it mean we are now going to conspire the elimination of Germans?
