Why if a nun wear veil she is religious if a muslim woman does she is being suppresed???

Question

Did you ever ask a Muslim woman how she feels?

Answer 1

Because The Too Much Hatred For Islam.

Answer 2

I have never seen any Nun cover their whole face just their hair !!!1 Corinthians 11:5, which says, “Every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.” The early Christian women veiled their heads not only in church, but also anytime they were in public.

Christian women continued to maintain this practice through the all centuries up to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. During the nineteenth century, many Christians in the United States and western Europe began arguing that long hair constituted the only covering women needed. Others said that women only needed to wear a covering when in church. The middle class and wealthy women switched from veils and caps to ornate bonnets—if they wore a covering at all. Bonnets became more a matter of fashion than of modesty or obedience to 1 Corinthians 11.

By the turn of the twentieth century, the ornate bonnets of the nineteenth century had given way to ladies’ hats. Until the mid-century, women in Europe and America typically wore a hat or scarf in public, but they were simply following tradition and fashion—without realizing that there was originally a spiritual reason behind the practice. Similarly, until about 1960, western women wore hats when in church. But the meaning behind the hat was lost.

Answer 3

The Muslim way was really a way of women's dressing in Christian Byzantium and during the middle ages in the west all married christian women covered their hair, and the nuns dressed the same.
I do not think that Muslim women who cover their hair are suppressed.
They just suffer oppression from a false religion.

Answer 4

I think the difference is that women choose to become nuns,it's not expected of them.Muslim women, on the other hand, are often forced by their family to wear the veil.The Taliban,for example,forced all women to wear the burqua in public.Even in some Western societies it is still not entirely the woman's choice.I don't think that all Western women are pressured into wearing the veil,but I know many are.

Answer 5

I could be wrong, but perhaps it has to do with the fact that a woman chooses to become a nun, whereas wearing the hajib is somewhat expected of muslim women, and therefore to outside societies, it could seem oppressive.

Answer 6

You got a point there. Why not live and let other also live and be happy the way they are. A lot of unveiled Western women are truly wearing an invisible mask with their makeup, aren't they? Why not protest also against that, while we talk about veils.

Answer 7

because it is presumed that it is the nun's choice to be a nun, therefore chose to wear the "veil", muslim women on the other hand were born in their religion where they are required to wear a veil.

Answer 8

Your question makes all the sense in the world. I hope people will think a bit before answering with meaningless replies.
A veil does not cover the face, and Islam does not require women to cover their faces, but their hair...women who cover their faces do it by choice too but are not obliged to do it.

Answer 9

hmmmm? they arnt suppresed in my country they choose to wear it but as for the middle east they are suppresed. I saw this documentry once about women behind the veil. you should watch it. i think its a national geographic production. its very intresting

Answer 10

The Nun has a choice, she isn't required to wear her Habit, but the Muslim Woman is required, and has no choice.
