Now in Saudi, women must cover their eyes?

It is a severe indictment of men that men apparently are believed to have no moral fibre that they cannot even cope morally with a woman’s attractive eyes.
In 2002, female students forced to burn to death because they did not have proper head cover.

It won’t matter soon. Like the Taliban of Afghanistan did, they will soon enough not allow women out on the streets at all. It’s already here. If they have to cover their eyes as well, how can they go out?

Sunglasses. When I was in Morroco, an Arab woman touched her sunglasses when she saw I was wearing them too. I took it to mean we had something in common.
She was covered from head to toe with her mouth also veiled. And the weather was very hot.

This is what happens when you follow a bogus religion (which by definition, is a tool for Satan since its puts you on the wrong path). I am never surprised by the ridiculous garbage endorsed by the proponents of Islam. The Fringe elements of the Catholic Church push for things like women’s ordination (which is bad enough). The fringe elements of Islam push for women to have their heads forcibly removed. Truly, the will of God…

Sorry, can’t get with the program. If I had a fortune and all the time to spend it, and I want to see Egypt, Morocco, etc. I could not cover up to follow another religious law. I wear sunglasses sometimes. I would cover my head for my Church. I will not do it for another religious law and so I must choose not to put myself in the position, even as a tourist and not as a participant.

I know it may be disrespectful and that I should respect their practices, but I cannot. I do not see Islam as a religion.

I would predict that eventually the sunglasses may be viewed as too inciteful to men as well. Nothing would surprise me.

When the women of Saudi Arabia get tired of this treatment they will put an end to it.

I’m sure they will. I mean, who needs mass support under one banner (including from men), weapons, a political presence, strength etc? If they want it to change, it’ll just happen.

I’m sorry, but tough. If the law of the land says a woman must cover her hair, then you must do it. You might perceive it as a religious law but I’m not sure they’ll care what you think when they jail you, whether you’re a tourist there or not. Ignorance or disagreement is not a defence from the law in any country.

I was wearing sunglasses because the sun was very bright, not for anyone’s religious law. I thought the Arab woman was wearing them for the same reason as me; but perhaps not. At the time I had no idea what Islam was or what it involves. I couldn’t feel comfortable in an Arab country now, knowing how Christians are hated, or at best, unwelcome.

Yes, when they stop tolerating the behavior it will change.

I would not go, so jail is not a possibility. I would not put myself in danger. I won’t submit because I will not be going. If you had read what I said, I said I would not be putting myself in the position.

I’m sure it was bright and you have every reason to wear sunglasses.

I won’t be going to any Islamic country. From a religious standpoint, I feel as someone else said, that it’s a bogus religion so I would not follow anything they require so I cannot go there. On a secular level, their treatment of women is beyond criminal.

So, I as a female have two reasons not to go.

Most Islamic countries such as Morroco allow you to wear what you want so long as you are within the hotel resort. This is why you are still allowed to drink alcohol in some Islamic countries. There was a case recently of a couple who left their holiday resort at a Muslim country to have sex on a beach and they were arrested and put in prison, they were British but they still had to serve some of their sentence. I can’t remember what country it was exactly, I know which but can’t think of the name.

It is an Islamic law. No perception required.

No actually it is not. There is nothing in the Qur’an which says that a Muslim women must cover her hair at all times, so it is cultural, not religion. I had Muslim friends growing up who only covered their hair when they prayed, and some who covered all the time.

Does Morocco require head covering by law?

 

[Leegal]

They tried at least twice to get the Saudis to allow them to drive. The demonstrations were put down both times, maybe more.

And this is just one result. More oppression. I predict this goes the way of the Taliban and women will not be able to leave the house unescorted. In time, the will be denied education. They will be house bound.

I said when Mubarek fell in Egypt, the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t.

This is the devil you don’t. The same thing will happen in Egypt. Under Mubarek, Coptics were unmolested and had many rights. Now the Muslim Brotherhood is killing them. I feel for anyone stuck under Sharia law – that’s the devil you don’t know – yet. There’s more. They will no longer assist Israel in policing the Gaza. They won’t continue to recognize Israel. This will all have unforseen consequences as Egypt turns into a theocracy too. I’d caution against tourism and they did rely upon it tourism and it is the place to go – or was. My dollar won’t be spent going there and place myself in harm’s way.

Does Morocco require head covering by law?

I don’t think you have to in ALL of Morocco, however there are modesty laws regarding swimsuits etc. Let me check on Google…

This is from a website giving advice to tourists -

"While Morocco welcomes all visitors, it is an Islamic country and following cultural standards of modesty is advisable to prevent problems during your stay.

However, in major cities Agadir, Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech women and men often wear dress as they would be in New York or any other Western City. The locals are use to seeing tourists and therefore it is not an issue. But in the rural areas we recommend to follow local traditions and dress more modestly.

Wearing short skirts (to your knee is fine), short pants, and tight clothing is not recommended - especially in small towns and rural areas. Legs and shoulders are considered private body parts in Morocco and should be kept covered. On your morocco travel in the bigger cities locals are use to seeing tourist in shorts, skirts and tank tops.

In the hot summer months wearing light, loose, cotton or linen clothing is advised. A hat or turban is a must to protect the head against the heat and sun. In autumn and spring a light jacket or fleece is recommended; the evenings can be quite cool. In winter, warm clothing is a must."

Sure it is in the Quran. Many interpret it to their liking, for or against. Which is wrong?

No different to Christianity then in that respect .

Boycotting works wonders.
