Islamic group’s uniform comment slammed
it's shocking really. National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia made a suggestion yesterday for a review on uniform for school girls. The ever irrelevant Sisters in Islam came up with these -Something must be seriously wrong with local men if the sight of girls in their school uniform turns them on and What? Even wearing baju kurung is still not enough?. Eh, if that was the case, we should allow these girls to come to school with just bikini. They should not get worried, because what we need to do is to correct the mindset of male race.
This is absolutely ridiculous!
Why must people get married then?
Maha Suci Tuhan yang telah menciptakan pasangan-pasangan semuanya, baik dari apa yang ditumbuhkan oleh bumi dan dari diri mereka maupun dari apa yang tidak mereka ketahui(Yaasin 36)
Have they not been taught that a man is designed to be attracted to woman and vice versa?
Women’s Aid Organisation executive director Ivy Josiah said what was needed was ”a review of misguided beliefs about women's attire,” not a review of the uniform policy.
“Statistics and research has shown that all women – young, old, women clad in tudung (headscarf), miniskirts, even babies in diapers – have been victims of rape and sexual assault.
“It is entirely irresponsible for anyone to suggest the idea that rape is a result of attire. Rape is not about attire, it’s about power that perpetrators feel they have over their victims,” she pointed out.
If this is a statement coming out from a non-Muslim, it is her right to do so. Their religion has their own rights and wrongs.
In Islam, we have never been taught that wearing headscarf will prevent any rape. It is never about the headscarf. It's about covering 'aurat'. As what the Noble Quran says in the image abobe, well I don't think to explain it any further(click on the image to enlarge). The usual comments- baik buruk tu asal dari hati, pakai tudung tapi jahat tak guna gak.
- pakai tudung pun perangai macam setan gak wat apa
- pakai tudung je lebih...
let me read this to you again,
." Yang demikian itu supaya mereka lebih mudah untuk dikenal, karena itu mereka tidak di ganggu. Dan Allah adalah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang.
To this date, tell me if there is any religion that is able to stop people from talking. there is not, is it??
have a listen to what Tuan Guru has to say here(video's title is slightly controversial
Why must they name the group Sisters in Islam? the name is misleading. You don't do what you talk about. Rubbish!

“Yes, Umno can consider me irrelevant. It is their funeral and not mine. Today the Barisan has been destabilised by Abdullah not being able to lead it to victory in the general election.
till next time,

I think you completely missed the point. Sisters in Islam reflects the feminist movement in changing the extremely patriachal Islamic Jurispudence Tradition. Your reaction is a classic testament of male chauvinism. To do justice let me remind you again with this
"Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and be modest. That is purer for them. Lo! Allah is Aware of what they do. And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest.” (An-Nur: 30-31).
Owh I forget, I am not without bollocks. :)
thanks for the friendly reminder.I'm aware of both your points. thanks again.
1stly, I don't think I missed any point. this is what was said in the 1st place :
The white blouse is too transparent for girls and it becomes a source of attraction,” National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia vice-president Munirah Bahari said in a statement.
and this is the reply ;
What? Even wearing baju kurung is still not enough?
Sisters in Islam never really answered the question!
We are asked to lower down the gaze. I completely agree with you. What I am saying is -
"kalau anda berpuasa, dan anda jumpa makanan di depan mata anda dan tiada org di sekeliling, kebarangkalian untuk batal puasa itu lebih tinggi berbanding orang lain kan?"
dalam kes ni, adakah org yang batal puasa tu je salah? ataupun yang hidang tu pun salah gak?sedangkan untuk kita, batalkan puasa suka2 hati itu haram dan org yg menggoda untuk buka puasa itu berdosa.
You are absolutely right in men to lower down to the gaze. However the reasons why covering aurat are included are to compliment the action of man(lower down the gaze).
what sisters in islam was trying to say is the mindset of male is wrong. maybe they are partially correct. at least you can agree that their point sounds sexist, in relation to what's said in the Star.
What? Even wearing baju kurung is still not enough? . This is the part that you missed. It is sarcasm.
The world is an evolving one, not populated by Muslim or religious people alone. Societal conduct requires mindset change, disturbing as it is, the idea of people(men) virtually wanking all the time is ridiculous and that is what religious ruling on hijab implies sometimes.
It is a bit complicated, I do excuse you or us if we don't understand each other arguments.
that's ok mr/ms anonymous.i enjoy healthy discussion.we don't have always to agree to everything, there are more things in common than not.
i may not be the most intelligent person, but i do recognise sarcasm.
if changing the mindset is as easy as it looks, no one needs to feel worried at all. what Islam teaches us is both sides need to work to complement each other.
Rape is not the only issue raised here. We are also talking about consensual sexual intercourse. Which one is more inviting/provocating, woman covering the aurat or woman with bikini?
everyone knows this world is not populated by Muslims alone. that's why we see rape cases, teenage pregnancies, incest are 'normal' there in non-Muslim countries.
