So why then Moslem governments don't respect the right of girls to wear bikini where they like?

I couldn't say- I don't speak for Muslim governments. I'm speaking about my personal beliefs. you'd have to ask the government of whichever country you are referring to.

but I always find it amusing when people say things like "well if we were in a muslim country we couldn't wear what we liked, so why should they be able to wear what they want here"

such crazy anti-logic

1) 'we' don't like muslim countries
2) they act in a way we don't like
3) so we should replicate the same behaviour of a country whose behaviour we say is bad

wth!

1), 2), 3) is your logic Nobody else put it here like that
As for right to dress the way they like should it not apply to all irrespectively of religion?

No, freedom is having a choice.

I know freedom is having a choice (I agree) but I said you see it as signified by certain things

Such as?

muslims?

Who said I have a problem with the hijab?

I assumed from your association of oppression and slavery with the hijab- but I see how I may have misconstrued that as you were maybe just arguing the idea of oppression itself?

Many nudists seem to think so. Luckily for them Australia is fairly tolerant of them.

indeed!

sorry mate- I know noone said that here- I was just going off on a tangent in regards to what I've heard "people" say.

I think people should be able to dress the way they like irrespective of religion yes. but if a religion says that there are certain ways of dress that are recommended then it's up to the individual as to whether they adhere to it.

I know quite a few muslim women who don't wear the hijab- but they're still muslim and are considered by others as such.

I'm not really sure if that answers your question?

Yes, the question was answered and looks like both of us condemned governments who force a dress code on freedom loving girls and boys.

....if you actually talk to muslim women or wear the hijab or niqab they actually feel it is liberating rather than oppressing. and yes these are women who study at uni, hold jobs and are generally very opinionated and intelligent.

I have seen muslim clerics in the mosque teaching that young girls who resist wearing the Hijib [at 10 yrs old] must be hit.
[YOUTUBE - Dispatches - Undercover Mosque]

Sounds like Pavlov-ian type conditioning to me.

Certainly not freedom of choice.

And if you leave ISLAM?

ISLAM mandates killing apostates.

How does that square with,

no that most certainly isn't freedom of choice and should be condemned! I think you'd find many many muslims who would agree with that!

Could you then, name three Australian muslim clerics, 'who would agree with that' too?

And there lays the problem.

Yadda,

Quote:

I don't get your point rashid ?

Read it again.. and again, and again, until you get it. I'll give you a tip, resist your obviously overhwelming urge to quote it out of context, especially look at the word "Papuans", it might shed a little light on the meaning.

Quote:

Is your logic, that muslim women do not feel any need to cover their breasts, in contrast to Christian women?

Muslim women cover more than just breasts, so that's obviously not a logical conclusion is it... So don't just read my statement in context, read it with a hint of logic too.

tallowood,

Quote:

Firstly, which Muslim governments? If you have a particular country in mind, then mention it, cos the majority of 'Muslim governments' [sadly] do permit wearing of bikinis, there's very few that don't.

Secondly, why do Western governments not respect the right of girls to wear absolutely nothing wherever they like?

I don't have enough knowledge of muslim clerics for that. I could tell of you many muslim people who would have a major problem with 10 year olds getting hit for not wanting to wear hijab.

If i happen to talkto a muslim cleric about this particular issue then I'll let you know

Firstly, which Muslim governments? If you have a particular country in mind, then mention it, cos the majority of 'Muslim governments' [sadly] do permit wearing of bikinis, there's very few that don't.

Malaysia, where it is an offence for unmarried ppl to hold hands in public places.

Google,
malaysia protests bikini islam
http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=malaysia+protests+bikini+islam&btnG=Search&meta=

If you say Malaysia is not a muslim state,
....then when was the last bikini pageant held in Saudi Arabia or Iran?

Or when was the last time a woman was allowed to walk in a public place without a burka, or hijib [in Iran]?

If you say Saudi Arabia or Iran are not a muslim states, where

is

the ISLAMIC paradise on earth, precisely?

Quote:

Secondly, why do Western governments not respect the right of girls to wear absolutely nothing wherever they like?

That is like asking....
....Why does the Iraqi government not respect the right of ppl to walk around in public wearing 'suicide vests'?

In dress codes, non-muslim communities have decide to make laws which say you shall not offend your immediate neighbour.
.....But how do we, as a society, decide what is offensive, and what is not?
.....We elect ppl to make those laws / determinations on our behalf.
.....And we ['the people'] elect ppl who hopefully closely reflect our own tolerance / intolerance / views [otherwise we would elect a different person, next election time].
.....Then as a society, for the sake of peace, and social stability, we all agree to observe the 'common law', which has been commonly agreed upon.
.....[and 'transgressors' are prosecuted.]

Whereas,
Muslim communities are today, bounded by laws drawn up in the 7th century, when seeking tribute and war booty from declared 'enemies', and killing ppl who offended your god, and marrying pre-pubescent girls, and kissing black rocks as an reverence to your god, were all common practices.
ISLAMIC doctrine insists that where non-muslim law does not coincide with ISLAMIC law, the 'struggle' must continue, until non-muslim laws are replaced by Sharia law.

ISLAM is intolerant of all un-ISLAMIC influences / all un-ISLAMIC authority / all un-ISLAMIC laws.
