Bit of a marmite comment but maybe his point was lost a little in translation but this quote probably sums up the point he is trying to make? [QUOTE] "it was not the conservative clothing, or Muslim traditions, that he had a problem with, but more the "Arabisation of society [and the] deprivation of the Kyrgyz nation of its language and traditions". [/QUOTE] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-36846249[/url]
Well, he has a point. Women in miniskirts generally aren't religious fundamentalist wackjobs.
that's a pretty awful title and post "some unknown person out there said a thing!" [quote]Speaking at a press conference last week, President Atambayev also attacked those in his country, where 80% of the population is Muslim, who are critical of women who wear more revealing outfits.[/quote] given this, it sounds like he's urging for less radical beliefs within his Muslim-majority country that's great, but unfortunately a lot of people will reach to use this news to generalize those who do wear such attire as terrorists instead of looking for the original meaning
[QUOTE=download;50877840]Well, he has a point. Women in miniskirts generally aren't religious fundamentalist wackjobs.[/QUOTE] Also this: Quran is very clear about the dress code for the believers. Innovations and fabrication introduced Hijab (veil) to Islam (submission.) Hijab (veil) is a traditional, not religious head cover that dates back to ancient civilizations, and is not supported or advocated by the Quran. Traditional in the Arab world, Kyrgyzstan has it's own traditional head cover. Arguably there is no place for traditional non-religious Arab head covers outside of the middle east.
Well no shit, you can't hide anything under a miniskirt
[QUOTE=Nerts;50877899]Well no shit, you can't hide anything under a miniskirt[/QUOTE] You need to read the articles not just the headlines.
[QUOTE=Nerts;50877899]Well no shit, you can't hide anything under a miniskirt[/QUOTE] But nobody will expect that!
[QUOTE=karlosfandango;50877910]You need to read the articles not just the headlines.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure he was just joking though?
[QUOTE=karlosfandango;50877873]Also this: Arguably there is no place for traditional non-religious Arab head covers outside of the middle east.[/QUOTE] That's not a conclusion that is derived from your argument, though. That the hijab is unnecessary for Muslims is theologically correct, but it being unnecessary doesn't mean that it doesn't have a place outside of the Middle East. If a person wants to wear it because of cultural, religious (they believe it abides by the spirit of the text better than other options or they have a different theological interpretation), personal or even stylistic reasons they should be allowed to express themselves freely. Since there are, de facto, people who [b]will[/b] express themselves by wearing the hijab outside of the Middle East, then there should be a place for it. Same goes for other pieces of clothing like a turban or a yarmulke.

Men in mankini's generally dont do suicide attacks. [editline]13th August 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Nerts;50877899]Well no shit, you can't hide anything under a miniskirt[/QUOTE] Not while i'm around.

[QUOTE=karlosfandango;50879129]I agree with Tony Blair, it's a mark of separation and another backward step for the Islamic religion.[/QUOTE] That's not an argument, karlos. You are just restating your position and appealing to Tony Blair for some reason.
