I was thinking about going without the Hijab for a week just to prove the point that Islam does not force this on us. Those fathers that killed their daughters for not wearing a piece of clothing on their heads are in the wrong. Nowhere in the Quran or hadiths does it say a man may force this on her. The only obedience a woman has is towards Allah. Men are not rulers or dictators over us, and if they knew their religion inside and out they would know this.
So, for the next week, I'm going without the Hijab. My husband and all of my family (both in the USA and in Pakistan) are fully supportive of this. They know my intentions, Allah knows my intentions, and in this kind of situation it is actually seen as a good thing.
What do you think about this? After the week, I will resume wearing it of my own free will, but for this week it's a show of support for those who were oppressed.
