This opinion reflects those of their counter-parts of the mid-east?

Its video, no article sorry.

hmm does their opinion reflect those of the mid-east?

Or are these just Americanized girls who dont really know how women are treated back in the birth place of islam.

NOTE to those who wont watch the video: basicaly these muslim girls (who seem Americanized except for one who seems to have a foreign accent) keep saying "I am free!" and are all happy and say that they wear there hijab,burka for the sake of moderation and are not opressed.

[Marshal Murat]

Well if they want to wear the hijab, they can go right ahead.

It's just that I don't think they have a concept of having to wear it, or how many rights they do have. It's how Americans are jaded about being able to elect a President or how many rights we have.

Would this fit on the end of that video ?

Dress codes are oppressive in every case.

However, no clothing is oppressive, without a dress code. If they don't have a dress code, then they are not oppressed. If they do have a dress code, then they are, by my definition anyway, oppressed, no matter what the clothes in question are.

Oh and btw, the hijab is oppression of sex, not an oppression of women.

Like the western beauty ideal of slender, well-proportioned women maliciously spread through the media and advertising?

Good Iranian movie about freedom. This was even before the beard.

Let them wear their Hijabs. If I want to wear a "Jesus is #1" finger hat, so-be-it.

I went to Catholic school for 12 years. I miss the uniform. I didn't have to pay attention to how I looked as much as I did when I went to public school.

Anything that minimizes the demands on you to look a certain way; put make-up on, do your hair, etc is a distraction. I'm glad to see girls who aren't filthy skanks for once - even if they are wearing a shammy cloth on their heads.

well yeah, but the same clothes for the rest of your life???

these Americanized muslim women must be crazy with religious zeal. Besides over in the mid east you donr have a choice..

the worst here is yelled at by the husband or the thought of forsaking your own religion.

If you like that stuff, I suggest Persepolis. Brilliant comic, and from what I hear the movie is pure quality.

[Lemur]

There's now a trailer for Persepolis with subtitles for the French-impaired.

What's so great about the US is that they wear whatever the **** they want, I can wear whatever the **** I want, you can wear whatever the **** you want, as long as it doesn't infringe upon the rights of others.

Well (if colourfully) said.
