Britain's Niqab is a series of special Channel 4 News programmes looking at the controversies surrounding the wearing of the Niqab in modern Britain. .
I read some post about a pro-abaya man claiming that Saudis treat women like diamonds. Here in the western world, we treat women like humans being thank you very much.
When someone calls a woman a diamond it's not long before he calls her a piece of candy or a drug or a wallet laying on the ground. It is ALL dehumanizing.
@@reihino6347 No, of course not and I don't think many are suggesting otherwise. Have you missed feminism? It's an ongoing struggle and one that can't come to an end. Even so, outside the porn industry, sexualisation of women in the West isn't fetishised into something good or beneficial for women. Women being described as diamonds is akin to claiming they are the possessions of men. Something they supposedly want to treasure until they lose their shine.
We don’t really see men being sexually objectified. Have you ever seen an ad with an half naked man selling a bottle of water? Or even a car? Nope! That’s what Islam wants to prohibit, why should women be sexually objectified for the pleasure of man. Islam teaches that it’s the inner soul that’s most important and appearance should not matter.
@@medinak8095 Says the follower of a religion that has attacked 1 million white British children....Including branding 11-year-olds with hot irons saying property of Mohammed.
@Love Life i think you insulting women for wanting to follow their religion is actually disgusting. We don’t ever insult you for not covering so why you insulting us for wanting to show modesty? Let’s get one thing clear here, Islam is the only religion that does not conform to ANY changing society, our scriptures have remained the same since the day it was revealed. It was only less than 100 years ago you people in the west slowly starting changing your attire, but women all around the world have always displayed some form of modesty, regardless of religion. So now that the west have “evolved” the rest of the world are idiots for not following right? Christianity and other religions adjust and amend their rules to retain followers. But Islam will never do this, yet it is the fastest growing religion in the world, Islam is growing faster than the worlds population. And guess what, we haven’t changed a sentence in our scriptures to make anyone happy. You either follow or you don’t. And our god has specifically prescribed modesty to both men and women. Thanks for sending little article talking about the word “hijab”. But this is why we have scholars that have studied the religion for years And I rather follow their interpretations of what it means to cover. We also follow the way the prophets wife’s covered. Mary (mother of Jesus) is also another women we follow in terms of modesty. There’s so much depth to Islam and only those that study the religion can truly understand it. Again do not insult any woman for wanting to dress how she want to dress. I understand that freedom of expression is a double standard concept in the west, but perhaps you need to think critically first before you speak.
Actually one Saudi cleric on UA-cam advised muslims like the niqab types and hijab to live in muslims countries only like his country Saudi Arabia saying it's forbidden for strict Muslims to live in western countries as the westerners are not fully covered and these muslims are deemed as voyeurs looking at the unclothed bodies. Interesting, so why come here?
as a Muslim girl I believe that if you move to a country You have to respect the rules, it is understandable that the niqab is prohibited, people must be identifiable
@@harrietharlow9929 identifiable doesn’t just mean showing your face to be ID’d… if the windows on my car are tinted too dark, I am no longer identifiable, and I will get fined by the police because they can’t make out who I would be.
Exactly OP, if you move to another country, respect the rules and laws. Plain and simple. That’s excellent common sense which most people don’t seem to have these days.
What about the scientists, doctors, lawyers, writers, and many many more who are all Niqabis? There are women who have succeeded more in life than you who choose to dress modestly.
Women can dress modestly without wearing the veil, burka or full covering. This is a western country, we don’t get sandstorms here. Full face covering is not in the Quran. For the sake of security people’s faces need to be on show, we need to see who we are talking to.
I'm from American and I'm a revert and I wear it. People need to just focus on their own lives. Butty shorts and mini skirts and bikinis make me feel super uncomfortable but I'm not going on rallys to ban them
Well "Butty shorts" and mini skirts and bikinis can't hide your identity or pose a safety threat to innocent civilians. Fun fact, people that eat pork are 99.9% less likely to be suicide bombers the those that don't.
@@dontootin when it comes to security reasons, veiled women won't have any problems removing it in front of another woman i.e at airport security, etc. People who use it as an excuse are usually islamophobic and xenophobic and want to push that agenda onto others through fearmongering. Also, fun fact: people that don't eat pork are 99.9% likely not to be mass shooters and white supremacists. See how ridiculous that sounds? So take your misinformed stereotypes somewhere else.
@@reihino6347 Please stop using this fatuous word "Islamophobic". Change it to "Muslimophobic" if you want to, but the word "Islamophobic" just unnecessarily conflates all criticism of Islam with criticism towards Muslims. I would love to be able to talk about the evil garbage in the Quran and the Hadith without being called a "phobe" of anything, or better yet - and this is peak stupidity on this issue - you get called a racist, as if Islam is a race. This nonsense has to stop.
S let’s be honest, you don’t “critique” other religions like you do Islam. Calling our holy book “garbage” is just rude and it shows that you are not much of an intellect. Islam, Judaism and Christianity all come from the abrahamic faith and they are very very similar (someone of knowledge would know this). I bet you don’t critique Judaism. The phobic comes in when you are being disrespectful in speech. You can still debate and forward your opinion (intelligently) without coming across a “phobe” But yeah for now you are a islamophobe

I have no prejudice against the Windrush generation. However, it is important to note that there is a fundamental difference between their immigration experience and what we are witnessing today in terms of integration. The United Kingdom is founded on Christian values and principles, while Afghanistan is a Muslim country with its own set of laws and traditions. If I were to reside in Afghanistan, I would make every effort to respect their cultural practices and regulations. Similarly, individuals relocating to the United Kingdom should abide by the country's laws and traditions, just like the Windrush generation did by learning English and integrating into British society.
but if I go to a muslim majority country I wouldn't be allowed to wear what I feel comfortable in, I wouldn't be allowed to wear shorts or a mini skirt, double standards
@@mcclay9483 yes but with all due respect the laws are enforced there whereas here there not! That’s what makes Britannia so great we have freedom of choice and freedom of speech etc! Therefore if you go to a non Muslim country who have enforced laws then they can stop you wearing or saying certain things 👍🏾
Naw getting up leaving the bedding and making oneself presentable for public, work ,school . Head to to billboard blanket advertising pedofiles can buy a child here is not a anyone's right .

Freedom does not mean to traffic human hostages.of any age group.
@@redacted5657 How about the fact that a mask that covers the entirety of your face can be used to conceal your identity? There is no practical difference between a niqab and a balaclava. The excuse of it being a religious garb is also untrue, because the niqab isn't derived from Islam. It's culture, not doctrine.
S if Muslims amongst themselves are debating whether niqab is mandatory or not, who are you to decide that it isn’t? I’m so confused. Please don’t speak of what you don’t know.
@@medinak8095 What a fatuous comment. I don't need your permission to express my opinion. If you think I made a false statement, go ahead - respond the substance of what I said. "You don't understand X/Y/Z" is not a valid argument to me, because I know how often Muslims love to say it. So please, if you have a problem with what I said, let's talk details, not "u wrong shut up".
2nd and 3rd generation immigrants sometimes forget the oppression their families left behind. Apparently there are women in Iranian prisons just because they refused to wear this headgear.
@Anisah Wait what? There is no colonizer’s oppression going on anymore. Many cultures robbed and pillaged others. We don’t hold the innocent people accountable for generations after it happened. If this Western culture is what you hate so much, why live here? An honest question. I personally would leave to somewhere else if I disliked a place so much.
Mahsa Amini in Iran died in police custody, for not wearing her Hijab properly. So many women living in repressive regimes like Iran would love to move to western countries…. Just to be able to breathe freely, breathe freedom.
you're in ENGLAND. NOT saudi arabia. A women from england goes to saudi, if she doesn't ''fully cover herself'', she gets prison. When you go to someone ELSE'S country, you ABIDE by the culture, values, and norms. Women in saudia arabia are DYING (literally) to take it off. You: ''ItS sExIsT tO sHoW mY fAcE'' Then fxxk off to saudi arabia.
Only a issue it thousands of people are scared of it in the same way as a balaclava so why should a majority be scared of a minority especially in a western country..people don’t go to Islamic country walking round in a mini skirt because we respect law of the land so should work both ways
@@neilvare-dd1rs were you scared of people wearing masks? If you are frightened by a woman covering her body, I feel that’s an issue to address in therapy, not by forcing women to expose herself. I do not wear niqab, but what others choose to do doesn’t bother me in the slightest. The law of the land here is freedom of expression, which many seem to be for until it comes to a woman covering herself.
@@K9Katie freedom of expression but if people know wearing these 7th century garments offend or scare people due to terror or crime etc and being unable to identify someone should far out way anyones right to wear what they want..people who wear the face covering living in a western country should try and integrate and make friends or get a job how can they do that whilst there face is covered..it’s not a argument or a racist view it’s just a warranted question..why should Islamic people who live in a western country have the right to offend people if a westerner cannot wear a mini skirt etc in a Islamic country..the point is ignorance and no concern or respect for the lands people live in will keep a divide amongst people until they do
Why do you feel uncomfortable? Just because someone's hair and chest is covered, it does not suggest that they are dangerous or harmful. I am a hijabi myself, and I urge you to research about Islam and the hijab and learn for yourself why it is worn. Don't believe everything you see on white-washed media.
Full covering of face should be illegal. How can one be identified if they walk into a bank,for example. From what I understand, this NOT a religious requirement. SHOULD BE BANNED,TOTTALY.
I think you can wear your head scarfs, and show your face no problem. But why should i have to have you look at me without expression looking back. I think most young ladies are politically motivated that cover their face coz they can . The then lets intergrate how can we when we can't see you.? You need to except all, not just your way !!!!!!!!!
Can you imagine if everyone dresses like that the world will be so depressing to look at it when I was 6 -7 years old my grandmother was wearing all black and scarf Because off losing a son as a child I felt so uncomfortable and depressed as a child it’s very depressing for yang kids to see the world dark 👍👍
Lol u act like covering ur face causes depression. It’s a choice and it makes the Muslim women who choose to wear it very happy. Personally I would love to wear it when I grow up and I would feel happy for sure. There are a bunch of depressed people who are half naked and depression has nothing to do with covering urself. 🤷🏽♀️ it doesn’t even have to be black, u can have pink, green whatever colour u want. Less clothing doesn’t equal to happiness💯
Believe me there is reason that these people are considered radical moslems. Look at your surroundings only Taliban says this Niqab is appreciated. As a moslem I say you should be afraid of these people. Be aware, that among these women were people who went for Jihad and to work for ISIS. Stop this trend of radicalism before It's late. I'm telling you as a person who lives in a Islamic country.
Radicalism… that what it is! In Islam you respect the laws of the country you reside in. The law of that country takes precedence over Islamic laws and traditions. Why do these same Nikab lovers use cell phones, airplanes, social media…. These are not Islamic I innovations or creations. Go back to living in tents and use camels for transportation. Mahsa Amini in Iran lost her life to police brutality. And these Niqabi women take us back in time, instead of enjoying freedoms that Western countries guarantee them. As a Muslim woman living in USA…I cherish the right to live as an empowered human being!!!
I always think of immigration like staying at someone’s house. Out of respect you should abide by the norms of the household. My grandparents came from india and wouldn’t move here out of respect before they learnt the language and got a degree in English history. They then named all their kids English names and started to eat, talk and become English when they were here. I think that’s respectful and what should happen. That way we can preserve everyone’s culture - because if I ever wanted to move to india - I’d make damn sure I ate curry every day, didn’t use knives and forks and wore a Kurta - it’s just a respect thing for me.
@Anisah Why do you bring up past events that a group of people did? What he is talking about is the now. I am of British decent, and I would respect another culture if I went there or lived there. Just because my ancestors colonized and ‘didn’t respect’ or ‘follow’ Indian culture, doesn’t mean I wouldn’t. Why are you applying past acts done by a group of people who are not currently alive today? Why is it that I am feeling shamed for this? What about cultures that are CURRENTLY doing horrendous things? I don’t hold a specific race/group of people accountable, and that’s with current events going on to this day! Also, you are saying ‘they did this’ or ‘they didn’t respect that.’ Does that make it right then? And as I said, these were events long ago in the past anyway. Doesn’t make it right, but the past is the past.
@Nisa Britain is a multi cultural country. >we didn't ask to be. >Stop moaning about people not "fitting in" or "integrating". What exactly is integration? What do I need to do? Bleach my skin, go blonde, and have a boyfriend? Sorry, no thanks. And thus, you are the problem. ''WHY SHOULD I ASSIMILATE TO THE CULTURE OF THE COUNTRY I CHOSE TO LIVE IN. NOT MY PEOPLE, NOT MY CULTURE. FXXK ENGLAND'' Cool, then why are you living here? if you HATE it so much, leave. Your refusal to join the culture, is on YOU. yet YOU say ''EnGlAnD iZ wAyCiSt ToWaRdS mE''. Which is it? your refusal to JOIN and assimilate? or society rejecting you? the NHS doesn't reject you, employment doesn't, a school for your kids doesn't.... so it's not society rejecting you. it's YOU rejecting society. If YOU don't like it, you can fxxk off.
I think that's sad that he gave up his culture to "fit in". Part of what makes a lot of western countries so great is the diversity and freedom... That's why people travel to the west.
@@siim605 the niqab is actually mentioned in the Quran! It’s the way the Muslim lady decided to interpret it! Some women choose the hijab some choose the niqab some choice neither 🤙 The Quran does mention the niqab
All the women and girls in this video made perfect sense to me, a non-muslim man, in their choice to wear the niqab. They all sounded absolutely English and seemed delightful. It is a woman's right to wear whatever she wants, and it is a muslim woman's right to wear a a full veil if she so chooses. All this anti-niqab stuff is just Islamophobia, which is pretty nasty.
I believe that if a woman believes that she should or wants to wear a niqab, then she should. I've yet to meet a niqabi who expects others to wear it if they don't wish to or don't believe it. I am not Muslim, yet I am also a niqabi. It is right for me--I don't expect anyone else to follow suit. In my case, there is no man in my life forcing me to dress modestly, it is completely voluntary. So far where I live there has been no problem, for which I am grateful. I have always liked to dress modestly, so for me it is something of an evolution. About ten years ago, I began wearing an abaya and hijab, then over the past year I found myself being led to wear niqab as well. I've been wearing it about three months now and when I go out, I feel blessed and protected and I find myself not as distracted, which for me is a good thing. I jusy hope one day woen can dress as they please without hassles from others.
And they speak what language, and if don't like it moved to your country of origin ie Arabia world maybe you will be allowed to express yourself like you do here. This is British land not Muslim
Fatima Khatun same. When I don’t cover my face but I wear jilbab or hijab I’m a normal Muslimah. Once I put the niqab on, I’m a terrorist and I’m a threat. What a joke 🙄
That shaneena lit with brown jacket says well your not closer to god because you dont wear a niqaab what a load a rubbish its not commanded by allah its a tradition and not a religious duty headscarf is must not niqaab
I think it is ironic that modesty is claimed to be the reason that some Muslim women choose to wear the niqab and the burka, yet I believe that wearing it in a non-Muslim country has the opposite effect. I think it is very immodest because it draws attention to oneself when wearing it in a western country. In addition to that, what I find confusing is the women activists in Iran who have been given long prison sentences for protesting the veil or being showed not wearing it in public. Afghanistan women get beaten with sticks by the Taliban if they so much show their ankles or walk loudly. Yet in western countries, Muslim women fight to wear the face covering . Go figure,
Sometimes it was awkward to seat besides Women with hijab,It's fine if you just meet at Malls ,if their joined together sometimes uncomfortable.Its bothering sometimes.Thats my idea,For me respect each other and just abide the law especially you are migrant in that place.
It’s funny when people don’t know about Islam and talking here bla bla . Why woman covering and man not or it’s not safety!!! Pls leave the people alone and let them wear what they want. It’s their body and their choice.
For a little petty gains, led by gains of oil the United States and European countries supporting dictatorships in the Middle East, these dictatorships led to the migration of many Muslims to the west, this migration will continue as long as these regimes exist
Channel 4....how about instead of talking to a white muslim convert about how horribly she is treated you do a piece on Asia Bebe in Pakistan....that is persecution!
Just make an appointment with God for an interview and lets see if this is what God wanted and if this was the actual purpose is !!! If God made Adam and Eve and gave them life i mean they were fully stripping from the beginning of time...!!!
The people who have a choice to wear the Niqab should do the justice and spend time in the country of origin of their parents. Please leave even if you are born here. Birth rights are not included as a British right.
Gee, I wear hijab and niqab and no man is forcing me to do so. I am single, so no men in my life to oppress me. I don't care what other women wear. Let them dress however they wish. I only request the same courtesy in retuirn.
Noe britisher think why we give muslim shelter they not belong to country religion first country second many country brake just research we have good expirance so bottam line consern for national security
They're made to believe that even on a subconcious level. Look its as simple as this I challenge any Muslim woman, IF God wanted you to cover up even your face and hair, God would not even create us; man and woman in such a way. Or even give us the free-will and our own mind to decide. God knows all is as it will be, God knows we will make our mistakes. A true enlightened woman would be able to get this balance perfect, they would be able to express their feminiity, show their hair one main expression of being a woman and have the strong will to not let emotions such as lust etc cloud their mind. Just like a man, a truly enlightened, even spiritual man would not get lustful at the sight of a woman. Also I think what is going on here is modern Muslims are trying to enforce every aspect of their religion, so the meter gets pushed further the other way, against a western way of life, ofwhich they not approve of.
without knowing about Islam and burqa don’t comment on it.Veil is the part of the Islam.The people like you hate veils of women.but now whole world wearing musk which is a kind of hijab.So this is the warning of Allah that,banning the hijab is persecution on muslims women.So now chew your own medicine

Mental health needs to check what is the crisis of males who pedofiles rape and hostage and homogang rape and murder as a group of family members . And ,likewise how mentally healthy is an adult woman who abdicates herself and listens to her children being trafficked age after age.And voluntarily when she could study work marry a man she knows or not and have children she never sells, rapes, abuses. The entire male organs are uncontrolled is nonsense. And a mother unequip to guide a child to protect themselves from abuse is an abuser, neglect is abuse. Is being a walking advertisement for pedofilia and masochism " a right" no it's perversion /conceit .
Well said…. As a Muslim woman, agree with you totally. Now, I will get a lot of hate for speaking my mind. This attire is taking us back to the stone age. Respect the laws of the country that has invited you to stay amongst them…. Or go back to wherever it’s not a problem for others around you. Simple as that..
You must be psychologically imbalanced if you feel that way. No offense intended but you should be able to look at a women and see a person and not a sex object, even if she were naked. Perhaps your feeling of shame comes from religion?
Ive worked this out, If a Muslim woman wears the Niqab and fully covers her face, there is absolutely nothing for the handsome young man on the bus to see of it. So there is not reaction, so in this sense, the Muslim woman herself will not get anykind of reaction, or feel anykind of attractive feeling in her own mind from the man. We've all human beings, and admit it or not, even Muslim men and women will see someone of the opposite sex, Muslim or not, who they will find attractive. NOT Lustful, but will just spot someone out and about in the city, or coming from work on the average day, someone they will see as simply attractive, nice looking, either smartly dressed or elegant looking. This is natural. What one aspect of Islam seeks to do in socieities, especially western is slowly, stamp that out, it is theological. So by having young Muslim people especially live like Monks, covering every aspect of their bodies up so there is nothing to socialize or react off in one another, NO expression of our individuality. And by influencing young Muslim women to basically live in complete devotion to God, in this way. This is the goal, and it is only a goal set out my high up cleric and hypocritical religous zealots. IF God truly wanted man and woman to live like this, god would not have created us in the way God chose to, having a free-mind and will to think how we please and basically make up our own mind. God wants us to rise above the challenges we face in life, not cover ourselves up with fabric as somekind of defensive stance. A Muslim woman will hide her feelings of attraction toward a man she sees in the street (who may be smartly dressed and just going about his life) under a peice of fabric. No one will see anything from her facial expression of these natural feelings, or whether she is blushing. But she cannot hide these feelings from God, even whether it just be a small feeling of attraction. God created us purposefully to "Learn" from our own experiences in life and our behaviour and the way we will change throughout the decades. You can spend day after day, hours and hours constantly praying to God, if you do not sperate the "ego" from yourself, and learn to be truly "spiritual", get back in touch with your soul, because the soul does not have envy or hate or lust. If you never learn this in life, you will never understand anything more about "God".
Muslim men have to cover from the belly button to the knees, and that means they can't show their knees It makes logical sense that women are more attractive to men than men to women women cover more than men
To be fair, they can do it, but it wouldn't be right for them to call it their religion nor that others are wrong to not wear it, nor to justify their beliefs of men and human sexuality. So long as they say that they wear it for style, choice, and that they want to look different, it's fine.

@@dontootin when it comes to security reasons, veiled women won't have any problems removing it in front of another woman i.e at airport security, etc. People who use it as an excuse are usually islamophobic and xenophobic and want to push that agenda onto others through fearmongering. Also, fun fact: people that don't eat pork are 99.9% likely not to be mass shooters and white supremacists. See how ridiculous that sounds? So take your misinformed stereotypes somewhere else.
@@reihino6347 Please stop using this fatuous word "Islamophobic". Change it to "Muslimophobic" if you want to, but the word "Islamophobic" just unnecessarily conflates all criticism of Islam with criticism towards Muslims. I would love to be able to talk about the evil garbage in the Quran and the Hadith without being called a "phobe" of anything, or better yet - and this is peak stupidity on this issue - you get called a racist, as if Islam is a race. This nonsense has to stop.
S let’s be honest, you don’t “critique” other religions like you do Islam. Calling our holy book “garbage” is just rude and it shows that you are not much of an intellect.
Islam, Judaism and Christianity all come from the abrahamic faith and they are very very similar (someone of knowledge would know this). I bet you don’t critique Judaism.
The phobic comes in when you are being disrespectful in speech. You can still debate and forward your opinion (intelligently) without coming across a “phobe”
But yeah for now you are a islamophobe

I have no prejudice against the Windrush generation. However, it is important to note that there is a fundamental difference between their immigration experience and what we are witnessing today in terms of integration. The United Kingdom is founded on Christian values and principles, while Afghanistan is a Muslim country with its own set of laws and traditions. If I were to reside in Afghanistan, I would make every effort to respect their cultural practices and regulations. Similarly, individuals relocating to the United Kingdom should abide by the country's laws and traditions, just like the Windrush generation did by learning English and integrating into British society.
Wear it, but to be fanatical is not good. If you want to remain medieval, why do you use modern things of the West?
Of course it’s a women’s right!!! Just how men can dress the way they want women should be able to dress the way they want!
Every niqabi I knnow is all for women wearing what they wish to wear. I certainly support it as well.
but if I go to a muslim majority country I wouldn't be allowed to wear what I feel comfortable in, I wouldn't be allowed to wear shorts or a mini skirt, double standards

The excuse of it being a religious garb is also untrue, because the niqab isn't derived from Islam. It's culture, not doctrine.

2nd and 3rd generation immigrants sometimes forget the oppression their families left behind. Apparently there are women in Iranian prisons just because they refused to wear this headgear.
@Anisah Wait what? There is no colonizer’s oppression going on anymore. Many cultures robbed and pillaged others. We don’t hold the innocent people accountable for generations after it happened. If this Western culture is what you hate so much, why live here? An honest question. I personally would leave to somewhere else if I disliked a place so much.
@Anisah Easterners enslaved Europeans first.
Honey as iranian there are so many activist opposed to mandatory hijab and they have been in prison for 20 year
Mahsa Amini in Iran died in police custody, for not wearing her Hijab properly.
So many women living in repressive regimes like Iran would love to move to western countries…. Just to be able to breathe freely, breathe freedom.
Everyone feels so entitled to a woman's body! "My body my choice!" Until we wish to cover it, then suddenly everyone has an issue
you're in ENGLAND. NOT saudi arabia. A women from england goes to saudi, if she doesn't ''fully cover herself'', she gets prison.

Only a issue it thousands of people are scared of it in the same way as a balaclava so why should a majority be scared of a minority especially in a western country..people don’t go to Islamic country walking round in a mini skirt because we respect law of the land so should work both ways
@@neilvare-dd1rs were you scared of people wearing masks? If you are frightened by a woman covering her body, I feel that’s an issue to address in therapy, not by forcing women to expose herself.
I do not wear niqab, but what others choose to do doesn’t bother me in the slightest. The law of the land here is freedom of expression, which many seem to be for until it comes to a woman covering herself.

@@neilvare-dd1rswere you scared of people wearing masks for 2 years? I guess you didn't even leave your home out of fear, when it's so scary.
Thanks for the load.
Why is the niqab only for women to wear? What are the rules of male dress? Why does "god" treat males differently?
There are rulings for men about how to dress too.
Men also have to follow a dress code. Maybe study the religion before accusing it of not being just.
2:53 and it makes me feel uncomfortable to see the hijab in public.
Why do you feel uncomfortable?
Just because someone's hair and chest is covered, it does not suggest that they are dangerous or harmful. I am a hijabi myself, and I urge you to research about Islam and the hijab and learn for yourself why it is worn.
Don't believe everything you see on white-washed media.
Full covering of face should be illegal. How can one be identified if they walk into a bank,for example. From what I understand, this NOT a religious requirement. SHOULD BE BANNED,TOTTALY.
They should be told it is so rude and unnecessary. They do not live in a desert.
Their body, their choice.
I do not accept the De-Individualization in Islam, while women wear the full veil!
I think you can wear your head scarfs, and show your face no problem. But why should i have to have you look at me without expression looking back. I think most young ladies are politically motivated that cover their face coz they can .
The then lets intergrate how can we when we can't see you.? You need to except all, not just your way !!!!!!!!!
Can you imagine if everyone dresses like that the world will be so depressing to look at it when I was 6 -7 years old my grandmother was wearing all black and scarf Because off losing a son as a child I felt so uncomfortable and depressed as a child it’s very depressing for yang kids to see the world dark 👍👍
Lol u act like covering ur face causes depression. It’s a choice and it makes the Muslim women who choose to wear it very happy. Personally I would love to wear it when I grow up and I would feel happy for sure. There are a bunch of depressed people who are half naked and depression has nothing to do with covering urself. 🤷🏽♀️ it doesn’t even have to be black, u can have pink, green whatever colour u want. Less clothing doesn’t equal to happiness💯
@WJ Sky you had me in the first half
@WJ Sky so true
Believe me there is reason that these people are considered radical moslems. Look at your surroundings only Taliban says this Niqab is appreciated. As a moslem I say you should be afraid of these people. Be aware, that among these women were people who went for Jihad and to work for ISIS. Stop this trend of radicalism before It's late. I'm telling you as a person who lives in a Islamic country.
And a Christian woman wgho veils Am I Taliban as well?
Radicalism… that what it is!
In Islam you respect the laws of the country you reside in.
The law of that country takes precedence over Islamic laws and traditions.
Why do these same Nikab lovers use cell phones, airplanes, social media…. These are not Islamic I innovations or creations.
Go back to living in tents and use camels for transportation.
Mahsa Amini in Iran lost her life to police brutality.
And these Niqabi women take us back in time, instead of enjoying freedoms that Western countries guarantee them.
As a Muslim woman living in USA…I cherish the right to live as an empowered human being!!!

This is OUR country too. I was born and raised in the UK. I have equal rights to you.
I always think of immigration like staying at someone’s house. Out of respect you should abide by the norms of the household. My grandparents came from india and wouldn’t move here out of respect before they learnt the language and got a degree in English history. They then named all their kids English names and started to eat, talk and become English when they were here. I think that’s respectful and what should happen. That way we can preserve everyone’s culture - because if I ever wanted to move to india - I’d make damn sure I ate curry every day, didn’t use knives and forks and wore a Kurta - it’s just a respect thing for me.
@Anisah Why do you bring up past events that a group of people did? What he is talking about is the now. I am of British decent, and I would respect another culture if I went there or lived there. Just because my ancestors colonized and ‘didn’t respect’ or ‘follow’ Indian culture, doesn’t mean I wouldn’t. Why are you applying past acts done by a group of people who are not currently alive today? Why is it that I am feeling shamed for this? What about cultures that are CURRENTLY doing horrendous things? I don’t hold a specific race/group of people accountable, and that’s with current events going on to this day!
Also, you are saying ‘they did this’ or ‘they didn’t respect that.’ Does that make it right then? And as I said, these were events long ago in the past anyway. Doesn’t make it right, but the past is the past.
@Nisa Britain is a multi cultural country.
>we didn't ask to be.

@@fatimakhatun2381 so your religion gives you entitlements above other people? I think not.
@@fatimakhatun2381 The Niqab isn't even related to the doctrines of Islam. It's a cultural garb much more than a religious one.
@@siim605 the niqab is actually mentioned in the Quran! It’s the way the Muslim lady decided to interpret it! Some women choose the hijab some choose the niqab some choice neither 🤙 The Quran does mention the niqab
My auntie is in this vidieo.my cousin is writing now: that was my mum in the vidieo.
Its not recommended its mentioned it is tradition
All the women and girls in this video made perfect sense to me, a non-muslim man, in their choice to wear the niqab. They all sounded absolutely English and seemed delightful. It is a woman's right to wear whatever she wants, and it is a muslim woman's right to wear a a full veil if she so chooses. All this anti-niqab stuff is just Islamophobia, which is pretty nasty.
I believe that if a woman believes that she should or wants to wear a niqab, then she should. I've yet to meet a niqabi who expects others to wear it if they don't wish to or don't believe it. I am not Muslim, yet I am also a niqabi. It is right for me--I don't expect anyone else to follow suit. In my case, there is no man in my life forcing me to dress modestly, it is completely voluntary. So far where I live there has been no problem, for which I am grateful. I have always liked to dress modestly, so for me it is something of an evolution. About ten years ago, I began wearing an abaya and hijab, then over the past year I found myself being led to wear niqab as well. I've been wearing it about three months now and when I go out, I feel blessed and protected and I find myself not as distracted, which for me is a good thing. I jusy hope one day woen can dress as they please without hassles from others.

What does it represent then !?
@@Downthehell It represent Dominance of male over women's mind and body.
That shaneena lit with brown jacket says well your not closer to god because you dont wear a niqaab what a load a rubbish its not commanded by allah its a tradition and not a religious duty headscarf is must not niqaab
I think it is ironic that modesty is claimed to be the reason that some Muslim women choose to wear the niqab and the burka, yet I believe that wearing it in a non-Muslim country has the opposite effect. I think it is very immodest because it draws attention to oneself when wearing it in a western country. In addition to that, what I find confusing is the women activists in Iran who have been given long prison sentences for protesting the veil or being showed not wearing it in public. Afghanistan women get beaten with sticks by the Taliban if they so much show their ankles or walk loudly. Yet in western countries, Muslim women fight to wear the face covering . Go figure,
Sometimes it was awkward to seat besides Women with hijab,It's fine if you just meet at Malls ,if their joined together sometimes uncomfortable.Its bothering sometimes.Thats my idea,For me respect each other and just abide the law especially you are migrant in that place.

They're made to believe that even on a subconcious level. Look its as simple as this I challenge any Muslim woman, IF God wanted you to cover up even your face and hair, God would not even create us; man and woman in such a way. Or even give us the free-will and our own mind to decide.
God knows all is as it will be, God knows we will make our mistakes. A true enlightened woman would be able to get this balance perfect, they would be able to express their feminiity, show their hair one main expression of being a woman and have the strong will to not let emotions such as lust etc cloud their mind.
Just like a man, a truly enlightened, even spiritual man would not get lustful at the sight of a woman.
Also I think what is going on here is modern Muslims are trying to enforce every aspect of their religion, so the meter gets pushed further the other way, against a western way of life, ofwhich they not approve of.
without knowing about Islam and burqa don’t comment on it.Veil is the part of the Islam.The people like you hate veils of women.but now whole world wearing musk which is a kind of hijab.So this is the warning of Allah that,banning the hijab is persecution on muslims women.So now chew your own medicine

I feel the same I feel shameful looking at half naked girls its so wrong covering up is more classy and protective
You must be psychologically imbalanced if you feel that way. No offense intended but you should be able to look at a women and see a person and not a sex object, even if she were naked. Perhaps your feeling of shame comes from religion?
Ive worked this out, If a Muslim woman wears the Niqab and fully covers her face, there is absolutely nothing for the handsome young man on the bus to see of it. So there is not reaction, so in this sense, the Muslim woman herself will not get anykind of reaction, or feel anykind of attractive feeling in her own mind from the man.
We've all human beings, and admit it or not, even Muslim men and women will see someone of the opposite sex, Muslim or not, who they will find attractive. NOT Lustful, but will just spot someone out and about in the city, or coming from work on the average day, someone they will see as simply attractive, nice looking, either smartly dressed or elegant looking. This is natural.
What one aspect of Islam seeks to do in socieities, especially western is slowly, stamp that out, it is theological. So by having young Muslim people especially live like Monks, covering every aspect of their bodies up so there is nothing to socialize or react off in one another, NO expression of our individuality. And by influencing young Muslim women to basically live in complete devotion to God, in this way. This is the goal, and it is only a goal set out my high up cleric and hypocritical religous zealots.
IF God truly wanted man and woman to live like this, god would not have created us in the way God chose to, having a free-mind and will to think how we please and basically make up our own mind.
God wants us to rise above the challenges we face in life, not cover ourselves up with fabric as somekind of defensive stance.
A Muslim woman will hide her feelings of attraction toward a man she sees in the street (who may be smartly dressed and just going about his life) under a peice of fabric. No one will see anything from her facial expression of these natural feelings, or whether she is blushing. But she cannot hide these feelings from God, even whether it just be a small feeling of attraction.
God created us purposefully to "Learn" from our own experiences in life and our behaviour and the way we will change throughout the decades.
You can spend day after day, hours and hours constantly praying to God, if you do not sperate the "ego" from yourself, and learn to be truly "spiritual", get back in touch with your soul, because the soul does not have envy or hate or lust. If you never learn this in life, you will never understand anything more about "God".
Muslim men have to cover from the belly button to the knees, and that means they can't show their knees
It makes logical sense that women are more attractive to men than men to women
women cover more than men
Protective from guys like you?

Dead perverts are dead. Stop being sick minded yourself.
To be fair, they can do it, but it wouldn't be right for them to call it their religion nor that others are wrong to not wear it, nor to justify their beliefs of men and human sexuality. So long as they say that they wear it for style, choice, and that they want to look different, it's fine.
That why they are poor
