Iranian of the Day

Normal0fa

Wearing Hejab makes no sense at all. If the issue is exposure of the hair, then why not shave your head and then you dont have to cover your head.

After all when we are born we are all naked and most importantly we dont have a sack around our heads. So Hejab is a meaningless element forced upon women due to weakness of Arab (tazie) men controlling their urge of not raping females as they did in their stone age and continuing it today...

"God loves all his children, with or without a scarf!"

well-said!

this raises a question

Her father was an official in the IRI.  How can he enforce laws that make other Iranian girls wear the hijab while he doesn't enforce the same laws on his daughter?  Hypocrisy anyone?  If forcing religion on someone is so good, why not the same for his family? 

He should put his money where his mouth is and declare an end to the IRI.  The IRI is losing everything, even its own Islamic credentials.  Downfall...

It's a fact

that if you see an Iranian woman with the Islamic Hejab, she is most likely a Hezbolahee.

Yolanda: exactly. Her main

Yolanda: exactly. Her main concern is not really hejab but not being identified as an endorsers of criminally insane regime of IRI.

RESPECT

God loves all his children, with or without a scarf!

A Yoke of Subservience

To my thinking, hijab more than anything else is a yoke of subservience imposed on women. Why should they be required to cover themselves, sometimes in awful burga and neghab? Women are humans and every bit as human as men. Men have no right to subjugate women and treat them as second class. Let women be. Enough of barbaric practices.

LOL... Iranfirst

thanks for the link .....I was reading the comments they are hilarious .....

Unfortunately, Hejab is a tool in the hands of IRI ...... For IRI it is political PERIOD 

now I feel sorry for Sabra that has to deal with these idiots in IRI  

IRI is Upset that Sabra has got rid of Savage Arab Islam's Hejab

 IRI's reaction

Read with caution

Some say this item has questionable source.........whatever, decide for yourself.

We all know that on "hejab" like any other social issues, there are opposing and at times equally convincing views.

As if you should care, I chose the above link for the neat appearance of its site. That's all...

Hirre / Most actually do not care at

Most actually do not care at least here in the U.S. They are more interested in your resume than what you wear especially in professional jobs. I am saying this based on facts and personal experience but I am also wrong to generalize it.  So I am sorry about that. This is my personal take some one else may have had different experience ........ 

so on the other hand you are right Hirre .....

what I am saying is we should not generalize it but see it case by case.

I think it is wrong for NPR to air this issue based on a few ones and their cases. This would have been a fair program if they had also interviewed the ones who choose to wear it and are happy with their lives and jobs here in the U.S.... Then that would have been a fair broadcasting.

In my first reply I said that we should not generalize it and yet i did it with my own comments ... Again I am sorry about that.  My mistake !

BEEEP... wrong....

" what difference does it make in your study, in your job,in your life?".....

I guess there must be millions of western employeers that want muslim hejab-wearing women..... not...

Good for her for losing that

Good for her for losing that ugly rag. Perhaps she can be enlightened enough to renounce Islam.

Dear Yolanda

But these girls are living in the U.S. 

Iran is entirely different issue .... both Reza Shah and Khomeni made it a national and political issue and both were wrong.  I completely agree with you that there should be a freedon of choice.....

..........

"Hejab is a personal issue. It is an individual decision."

IRI has made hejab a national issue, not personal issue!

If you don't wear your hejab, you will face 76 lashes!

Women should have the freedom to wear hejab and also have the freedom of not wearing hejab!

I did not like this program

I did not like this program at all ....... so what ?  who cares ...   

Scarf on your head or not ... what difference does it make in your study, in your job,in your life?   ... absolutely nothing especially if you live in the U.S. 

Now why do we even need to advertise for removing it or putting it on? 

Hejab is a personal issue. It is an individual decision.

Any explanation that a woman has concerning observing it or not can never be generalized or be applied to the population as a whole..... 

.......

Very thought-provoking comment:

Jafarzadeh's family is Iranian; she says that in the Iranian-American community, the hijab is a political symbol, an implied endorsement of the Islamic regime in Iran.
