Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah's televised message for the Government Summit, Dubai

Yes Ron she is indeed very impressive.
Thank you for your comment.

In this video she is telling the guest in the summit that the Jordanian representation will not be possible because the country is gripped in grief and loss of their piolet who has recently been murdered (burnt alive actually) by the Abu Bakr monsters.

She is also asking the middle east to help the coalition against this group, amongst other things.

I think we are writing new pages in history.

The best thing now is that at least the wahabis are beginning to be exposed. Hopefuly someday in near future the world will dig into their history and find how they have first damaged islamic scholarship, victimised innocent, ordinary muslims before hijacking world peace on a global level.

Peace!

I refrained many years but their extremism is beyond me now.
Sorry if anyone else is offended, but I don't care if they are.

I presume you are referring to al-Noor (24):30, which advises women to "draw their veils over their bosoms". This is in the context of a general admonishment to modesty, and is meant only as an example. Describing how a veil should be worn is not a command that a veil must be worn, any more than passages describing how a man should treat his wife would mean that he must have a wife.

I have no objection to women wearing a hijab if the local custom demands it. I do think, however, that powerful women in leadership positions such as Queen Rania can greatly promote the emancipation of women by challenging such customs. I also think that it is a mistake for a Muslim woman to wear a hijab in a western society where hijab is not part of the local custom and where she clearly has a choice to do otherwise. She is choosing to identify herself with a backward and misogynistic culture, which is unfortunate.
