Anybody visited a normal Muslim country?

Question

Not Iraq or Londonistan.
A normal Muslim country like Egypt, Turkey, Kazakhstan.

Have you met there Muslim women wearing head scarves?
Do you know that Muslim kids don't wear burqas contrary to Washington Pravda's propaganda?

I visited many normal Muslim countries, but the first time I encountered a woman with completely covered face was in the United States of America.

Michael Jackson is a "Jesus freak" as far as I remember.

Yeah, women wear head scarves there, but never cover their faces completely like in Saudi Arabia.

Answer 1

Normal muslim country? If you are referring regarding hijab then i am living in the one..(though in other regards my country is very abnormal)... here one would find women in a topless to fully covered dress !! head scarves are also very common ...could not judge my country yet ..lol !

Edit:
yupchagee..Sir have you ever heard those "sermons" yourself? talking of media and expereincing it ownself is totally different and one own experience is more reliable then media quotation !..sorry but you are paraniod. muslims are not after you..Sleep well !

Answer 2

First off, Turkey was is a very progressive muslim country, they, in 1920 out lawed the wearing of fezzes, they are part of NATO. They, unlike most other muslim countries tried to integrate into the western world. Maybe part of it is because they are in Europe and Asia, I don't know, but they are very progressive.

The Glorious Nation of Kahakhstan, was a former Russian republic 15 years ago. Religious expression was very much frowned upon, so there isn't alot of history with religious traditions, therefor there are very few people who feel they need to conform to traditional religous beliefs since they weren't brought up with those traditions.

Egypt, well they just outlawed female circumcison, an archaic and atiquated ritual, it is 2007 and finally they realized their tradition is awful and should've been outlawed years ago. So they don't wear full burkhas, that doesn't make it progressive.

BTW, what is your meaning of normal? A nation with more western ideals? Most muslim countries, in particular those in the middle east are very strict. Not like the Taliban, but still, very strict.

Answer 3

I have been to Palestine, Egypt and Jordan. I'm not sure what you mean by normal. I will tell you that there are more Muslim women wearing headscarves in the US where I live compared to what I saw when I was overseas. The only completely covered women I have seen is on television.

Answer 4

What does 'normal muslim country' mean to you?

Answer 5

That is the funniest remark I have ever seen. I lived in the Middle east for 16 years. My work took me to Egypt, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and several other countries in the ME. Let me tell you that 80% of women in Egypt and Tunisia wear head scarves. That in Suadi Arabia the dress code is enforced by police who hit a woman infront of me because some of her hair poked out. And that it is not much better in Qatar. The burqa is also very common, but not as common as the head scarf in moderate countries (e.g. Egypt and Tunisia). In Iran, Saudi Arabia and other countries I have been too, the burqa is by far the most common form of dress.

Turkey is a great exception because the government enforces a strict seperation between church and state. However, if you get out of the major cities and into the country side the head scarf becomes ubiquitous.

Just to show you that this is not made up, check this site http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6169170.stm particularly this statement

"Liberals here have tried to argue that the headscarf is not a religious requirement, but that is not the view of most Egyptians - the majority of Egyptian women cover their hair"

Roshni: I HAVE heard the sermons myself in Arabic which I speak as a third language together with French and English. And I can tell you that they all spread hate for Jews and Christians.

As for the questioner claiming that they never cover their faces completely it appears that he has never been to the middle east. A significant majority of women cover their face completely in Muslim majority countries.

Answer 6

I lived in Pakistan where usually women did not wear head scarves... it was college trend though.. since not every one has a car there and they have public transportation all the college female students used to wear scarve as a fashion accessory though!


PEOPLE IN ISLAM KIDS ARE ADULTS WHEN THEY HIT PUBERTY AND BEFORE PUBERTY THEY DON'T HAVE TO WEAR SCARVES OR ANYTHING. BEFORE PUBERTY THEY ARE KIDS PURE AND INNOCENT!
(not yelling just trying to make a point)

Answer 7

The majority of the Muslim countries are normal...
The media shows them as abnormal!

Answer 8

How do you define "normal"? Head/face coverings are not the issue. The fact that they want to kill us is. Have you ever read transcripts of sermons from (state controlled) Mosques in some of the "normal" Muslim countries? The are indistinguishible from those emanating fron Hamas, Iran & Saudi Arabia.

These are available at MEMRI.org

Answer 9
