Assalamu alaikum, What country is this? What are the circumstances that these police would do such a vile thing? May Allah curse them. Peace, ummziba. ------------- Sticks and stones may break my bones, but your words...they break my soul ~ |

What's the story behind this picture? One of the women appears to have another hijab in her hands. And is it in a prison, or something? There seem to be big metal bars around the place.

Assalamu alaikum, Isn't it strange how the west likes to point to Turkey as a shining example of a well evolved Muslim state? This is the wests idea of a good Muslim state - less Islam, more state! Imagine not being allowed to wear a headscarf in certain places in a so-called Muslim country?! I have heard that some so-called Muslim countries ban headscarves altogether in public (Libya comes to mind). And here I am in the "west", able to wear my headscarf where ever I please, even on photos (driver's licence, health card). It must be so hard for you, Suleyman, to live in a country you love, that causes oppression to its own people who wish to live Islamically. I am not saying that Canada is perfect - far, far, from it, but I do enjoy certain freedoms here (for now anyway) that I would never be able to have in some so-called Muslim countries! This world is so strange! This life is such a trial! Peace, ummziba. ------------- Sticks and stones may break my bones, but your words...they break my soul ~ |
