Comments on: Saudi Arabia: The Hijab and France http://globalvoicesonline.org/2008/06/11/saudi-arabia-the-hijab-and-france/ The world is talking. Are you listening? Thu, 16 Feb 2012 01:52:02 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Biju http://globalvoicesonline.org/2008/06/11/saudi-arabia-the-hijab-and-france/comment-page-1/#comment-1572173 Biju Thu, 09 Jul 2009 10:42:56 +0000 http://globalvoicesonline.org/?p=45306#comment-1572173 Dear Ms.Amira, You are brave and different. I appreciate your way of thinking. I am not blaming or objecting anything but I really do not understand why girls really insist for wearing full black gowns which covers head to floor. When i asked to a muslim elderly man in India he says muslims do not want their girls like prostitute. His answer really surprised me. It shows how he thinks at his old age. I was struck of his thinking if he sees my mum and sisters. For girls they value for just flesh to quest thier thirst for sex. I am not generalising. When all are making loud cries for this burqa and hijab your views stand out as a ray of hope. Burqa is to be banned and it is a simbal of ignorance. Thanks and regards Dear Ms.Amira,

Then there would be no need for the hijab inside the school...and whats more the pupils would better attend to their lessons rather than oggling the most attractive boy or girl in class. Theres plenty of time for relationships/casual encounters as an adult. Maybe the answer is to educate boys and girls separately!

It is well known that 12 yo girls are asking by themselves to wear an Hijab... Alright. @ ahmad jordan

Oh yeah, about hypocrisy your so-called “freedom” to wear the Hijab was spot on… It is well known that 12 yo girls are asking by themselves to wear an Hijab… Alright.

Arab dictators are more tolerant than the enlightened Sarkozi and other western leaders. If you go to a university in jordan, the dictator does not impose hijab on you, so a french girl can go to school in jordan without changing her life style. But if you are a muslim girl that wears hijab you cannot go to school in france. In addition to this if you try to build a mosque in the west people organise to block the house of worship unlike what happens if you are a chrisitan living in jordan. SO tell me who is more tolerant, jordan's dictator or the french enlightened leaders. Hypocracy in the “englightened world” is amazing.

Saudi women should rather protest where it is relevant: back in Saudi Arabia, they will have a hard work there to get any piece of what is called freedom... And if you are a foreign citizen within an host country: either you abide to their rules or you pack your bag.
