You asked me the question and I answered it.
My turn. Question: “do you believe the hijab is a symbol of female empowerment?”
No idea. I am neither female nor Muslim. Some women decry it, some applaud it. Why not ask Muslim women directly what they think about it, Augie, instead of imposing your ideas on them? Mmmm?

We have established it is not an "enforced" item of clothing. Some Muslims may enforce it but the majority don't. Depends, I suspect on how traditional the society that they live in. Which is the same for all societies. Modern ones tend to have more modern mores.
Can others see the total stupidity of the highlighted statement?
Absolutely.
Bwian has no idea about most things but he vehemently defends this particular area of his ignorance.
But of course he is a liar as well. He knows very well that the hijab and thee niqab and the burqa are signs of Muslim male oppression and fear of women.
Tell me, Soren, what evidence do you have that the veil is an "enforced" piece of clothing within Islam?
Quote:These are signs of women's submission to Allah who says they, the women, are satan's tempters of men, worth only half as much as men and must be kept out of sight lest men cannot control themselves. Islam is very superstitious in a late antiquity kind of way. Hence its endless rules for every act.
There are signs of women's submission to Christ who, through Saint Paul, said that they, women are satan's tempters of men, worth only less than men and must be silent, be subservient to men, how they must dress and so on. Christianity is very superstitious in a late antiquity kind of way. Hence its endless rules. Tsk, tsk, Soren.
