Quote: Perhaps, there was also a subconscious sense of envy or inferiority that while they had long given up their common Abrahamic habits and culture of modesty and dignity, why should Muslims be sticking to theirs. This stark contrast served also, in a way, to saying to them that ?the emperor had no clothes?.
This may probably hurt, but if it does, the best way to alleviate any such feeling of injury is simply to get ?dressed up? instead of blaming Muslim for not ?modernizing?.
Very right indeed !
I really don't understand HOW sticking to ur beliefs/religion is called "Opression" or backwardness . I also do agree that I know some stuff about Christianity & it too has codes for behaviour/life, and isn't it weired that most of them dont even come 'close' to being what they call "Christians".
Even in Bible there is a quote that women 'should' cover their heads ! This practise died about one or two hundred years ago. BUT in Islam, the code is sTILL very widely practised by women. Now thats wat I call a true believer & a religion
