Burqas are not religious attire, if they were the majority of the worlds Muslims would be wearing them. I dontr know how hard this is to understand, the wearing of the Burqa is cultural not religious.
They call it a Niqab and they are 100% Islamic, if it is cultural as some claim then explain why non muslim women did not wear them back in Mohammad's day.
Safiya was one of Mohammad's wives who he got as war booty after they attacked the jews of Khaibar, he ordered her husband to be tortured to reveal the location of the tribes wealth, they lit a fire of flint and steel on his chest before chopping his head off,Mohammd married the wife of this man on the very same day, muslims say he was a kind man who married widows.
Quote:Will she (ie Safiya) be one of the mothers of the believers (one of the wives of the prophet) or just ( a lady captive) of what his right hand possesses.
Some of them said
if the prophet makes her observe the veil, then she will be one of the mothers of believers (ie one of the prophets wives) ,and if she does not observe the veil she will be his lady slave.
www.sunnah.com/bukhari/64/253 In that verse we have people saying she will be a muslim if they see a veil and just a slave girl of prophet Mo if she does not wear a veil,does that indicate the veil was not common with non muslims?
So what was Mecca like before Mo started peddling his horse manure called Islam?
Quote:During the pre islamic period of ignorance, the people used to perform Tawaf of the Ka ba naked except the Hums:and the Hums were the Quraish (jews) and their offspring.
The Hums used to give clothes to the men and women who would perform Tawaf wearing them.
www.sunnah.com/bukhari/25/146 There were over 360 Gods worshipped at the Ka ba before Mohammad imposed the first religious dictatorship on the world outlawing all gods except for his imaginary friend in the sky called Allah.
People performed Tawaf of the Ka ba while naked in Mecca, where did this veil come from?I think it should be an offence to wear one while driving, if it slips the poor woman could be blindfolded by it.
