Dear Farida Majid,
how are you?
you didn't really say anything in your email...nothing new, nothing convincing. what is "aboshyok porda"? don't you find it funny?
this is just an illusion. to have perfect equality in a society, this idea cannot help. there is no "aboshyok porda".
it only helps men.
Rokey's article Burka is a total garbage; and let me tell you why.
she said the following: "Burka Poriya Cholaferai Kono Oshubidha Hoy Na. Tobe Shay Jonno Shamanno Rokomer Ektu Ovvash Chai; Bina Ovvashe Kon Kajta Hoy?"
what a statement! Only a total stupid could say things like this.
she also said the following: " Eyi Oborodh Protha Na Thakile Manush O Poshute Proved Ki Thake?"
Wow!!! my mother doesn't like Burka, and she never bothered to practice this either. it is clear that Rokeya would call her her a "Poshu".
i think Rokeya was on some kind of drug.
i found the following in the Koran:
"Prophet, enjoin your wives, your daughters, and the wives of true believers to draw their veils close round them. That is more proper, so that they may be recognized and not be molested. God is ever forgiving and merciful." (N. J. Dawood, The Koran, Sura 33, Verse 59, Penguin Books, 1999).
this my friend is talking about a kind of Taliban Style Burka, where only eyes are barely visible; but please note that this verse is ordering to cover women completely, not even eyes are open here. Even Taliban standard is better than this Koranic verse.
to you i just want to say the following: have an open mind.. don't try to make anything good, when it is really bad, by force.
thank you
Salman S.
