Especially when people here in the Arab world do it, they of all people should know better. I'm not sure how many people are really paying attention at all.<br /><br />But the ones who are paying attention are absolutely gutted, especially after the Ghouta massacre yesterday. We had so much hope that things would get better, in Egypt and Syria and in Jordan too. It's hard not to want to resign from the world.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13443434334539569385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098687575127151279.post-531095085251123092013-08-22T05:13:31.598-07:002013-08-22T05:13:31.598-07:00No, I don't think it is either, I keep repeati...No, I don't think it is either, I keep repeating to myself, 'it's just clothing,' but people are treating it like it is.<br /><br />What really makes me angry is that MB supporters here in Jordan are using the deaths of MB supporters and others in Egypt to try to bully women into wearing things, because other people died for their beliefs, so what's [this Jordanian woman's] excuse? It's like they don't value those peoples' lives at all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13443434334539569385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098687575127151279.post-23726196599926644032013-08-21T21:50:25.886-07:002013-08-21T21:50:25.886-07:00I don't think that it is the same as dying for...I don't think that it is the same as dying for the sake of Islam, or the right to wear it against prejudice. It is sad that niqab is being attacked so:(. Egypt is a mess. As if Islam is being practiced a lot there in how things are going on... is to infer something of a dream. <br /><br />Omani Princess (not Omani...yet)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11738377563210269837noreply@blogger.com
