I understand.. So, you are saying that wearing Burqas makes the women respectable in society. Thus, the society indirectly forces women to wear the things. Not directly, by threatening (although I am sure that even this occurs in some families), but rather indirectly, by expeling/disgracing/not accepting those who do not obey the rules. Ergo, I would not say that the women like to wear Burqa, I would say they have little choice to wear something else if they want to live normal lives..

As much as I know they can wear even mini skirt and walk in kabul streets, but They will get shot by some Talib dirt or they gonna attack those woman rape etc..So they have choice to wear anything they want but the setuation is not yet ready for it.

By the way even in europe if a woman wear those Afghani burqas and walk in busy streets I am sure she cant survive long because of terrorist fear and so on..

And for burqa they like to wear it belive it or not!
Go and ask yourself if you doubt about it.

I got two questions on you Brabarian, regarding this topic:

1. You mentioned that 95% of Afghan women would say they like to wear Burqa.. What exactly is the reason they like it so much?

2. If you were a woman, would you personally give up clothes you are wearing now and volunteer to wear Burqa your whole life?

1- Thats a cultural value. They seen there moms grandmoms wear it when they grow up they use it. It is kinda traditional clothes.There are 100s of reasons like family pride, Husbend pride, Safety, custom, pudency from public and of course relegios etc..

Those above reasons maybe looks funny for most of you who don’t know our culture.

2- If I were in homeland sure! why not!? I am sure if you were a girl and lived where you live now you weared those tight jeans to show your lovely butts to guys 😀

Let me guess. When you go into the remote provinces and ask young women if they like being illiterate 97.6% say they love it. And when you ask them if they like marrying a relative 98,7% say it is the way to go! Many women are forced to wear the Buhrka.

Many practices encountered in the Islamic world predate the emergence of Islam, yet many imams and clerics invoke Muslim teaching to justify them.

You just a Brainwashed person who have no clue about Islam and muslims ! Your knowledge about islam is very limited. Those things you throw out show your wrath and anger about islam.

Sorry But “you don’t make any sense!”

You better read my previous posts! To learn more about burqa etc..

Come and talk with me about burqa and Islam when you read 5 times carefully Quran and lived 1 year in a Islamic country between its people.

Take care kid!

You have mentioned that Burqa is much older than the Islam itself. I am asking – how come? How come the fashion remained unchanged for more than a millenium? That always indicates deformed development which has often external influence as a reason, read environment.
.

Just the fact that Burqa deters others from being attracted by someone’s wife indicates that it is her husband who takes most profit of this kind of clothing, not the woman and it is him to demands this tradition to remain. Why would women consciously want to give up advantages of their female attraction? Bullsh!t.. It is Afghan men who are lazy as hell as to permanently being afraid of possible competition.[/QUOTE]

Damn put change the threat header “Burqa in Afghanistan”
😀

ok first: It has changed as said diffrent region wear diffrent. maybe it was not the same as now but there was burqas similer to modern burqas.And maybe you ask why they user before islam in Zarathustra Budhism time those kinda of things? I will answer it short because otherwise I have to write 5 pages about Pre islamiq period of Afghanistan.
Thats old time burqa has kind of protectiv value.

If you study a lil bit you will notice that marrriage between cousins are very comon in our country.
and between close relatives.
So they see each other as much as they like without any burqas etc..
Because usualy girls in our country not using burqa if they are with close relatives.

And in marriage celeberation which often comes over 500 guests the men and women are together and dance together and there is live music etc.. so girls use make ups and no burqa. ( those are correct about big cities ) That first day taliban Come they banned music and marriage where men and women mixed i remember good that time. and still when my uncle went marriad there was music and men and women together. But music voice was very silent.

Girls in Afghanistan wear jeans and sometimes Mini skirt but inside house and on some party only.They wear lasted models ( copy version ) from good designers such as Giorgio Armani and Gucci!
you better visit Afgahnistan and see modern shops over there.
And I am sure your point of view will change.

hope this help.
