I think that is one of the main reasons why we have this sub-forum in UWS :)

ditto. I was freaking out about it cos it said in that little pamphlet thingy, that I got from enrolment, to pay my fees when they come through the mail

Sodexho - casual

I agree. Apparently they had a bbq at the parramatta campus. Hello? Bankstown's alive too you know >.< It was like as if someone laid a blanket of silence over the bankstown campus, if you know what I mean...

Congratulations sis! That's what I love about scarves! Different colours, different designs, different patterns, different shapes, different sizes! And you can buy one that will match exactly with any outfit you are wearing!!! :p

thanks for that. It's just that I've never been to Bankstown Station (even tho I live in bankstown!) so i only had a "rough" idea. :o

can you post a link to the article? I'd like to read it. In regards to the question, I don't think Australia is becoming a meaner society, however the attitudes of Australians are changing, some of which is shaped by John Howard.

oh sorry, I must've enormously misunderstood you!! Now I understand what you're trying to say. So you're saying basically, that the woman should not need to cover up? That is your view. Some Muslim girls even feel that way themsleves hence why they don't wear the Hijab.

When is the woman 'account' for the actions of the man? Do you mean that if she doesn't have the headscarf on, then it is her fault and her responsibility if the man sees her without one? Not necesserily, the only time that a female does not wear her headscarf is when she is at home. Not many...

congrats lc and mashimaro! It's about a half'hour walk from the Bankstown station (i think)

I know! It happens to me all the time as well! :p You know, you feel so proud and happy that you've accomplished something only to realise a week later what happens afterwards :o. I've changed my setting, chucking out all this useless junk. I've still got to put some stuff in and sort them...

yes, the woman can say no and the man is supposed to back off for obious reasons thanks for the clarification. Same with Muslims, I guess you can say that doing the actual physical praying is more formal

yeah, I had a friend who was really tall and skinny and she was a size 12 and her black school shoes looked like one of those clown shoes :p

The only pain that you will feel is when they put the braces on you, the tightening of the wire (which happens monthly and also depends on how much your ortho will tighten it) and if you get elastics. The pain you'll get from each of these usually takes about 3-4 days to recover so you'll get...

some women do pray alone. It's not compulsory for women to pray in the mosque (it is however strongly recommended for men, especially for Friday prayers). If a man does see a woman (who he knows) without a scarf then most likely the man would lower his gaze and turn away and the woman will run...

I might be there as well - for free (working) :p

true. Some girls' carry out religious duties but they don't wear the headscarf (personal reasoning). On that note, I'd like to say that I've seen some girls' with the headscarf on, yet they don't do anything - no praying, no fasting - so you see how much of a difference it can make. It seems...

you can also show your hair to your father, grandfather, brother, those who are also blood-related. And of course, as you mentioned, the guy you're about to marry. Exactly on temptation. When we pray, there are certain positions, one where we lean down, with our hands touching our knees and...

it is personally up to them. If they choose to wear it and express their identity then they can, however some girls don't wear it because it makes themselves an easier "target" for discriminaion. Some girls don't even feel comfortable wearing it. We don't say anything, well at least I don't.

yes and also to guard our modesty. Same goes for men, like the skull-cap in the Jewish religion (sorry, I forgot what it was called), the men wear something similar to that and as Soha mentioned, some men choose not to wear it, like some girls who choose not to wear the Hijab. Normally...
