Hey guys! As you know, form the heading, my pip is on Religion and Adolescent Identity. Here's the questionnaire so I'd be really please if anyone would fill it out. I may choose some of you to do an individual interview. Anyone can fill it out, even if you are an...

Well, that's in South Africa, not here and probably based on cultural values rather than religious values :)

there you go, I think I was a bit over-reactive on the issue. The sheikh seems very sexist

I agree with you there, although I'd also say that the clerics overreact on it.n And I'll stop our argument here.

It's called being an extremist not racism, there have been some suicide bombers in palestine you know, blowing up their own civilians (Islam considers suicide a sin) not just Sept 11. But how did you know if they were muslims? Did they actually spell it out for you? Ever since the...

I think he thinks that all muslim males are like that and superior better than women (when in fact they're not)

and what general attitude would that be? Just wondering... however not all lebos are Muslims on the other hand I have been harrassed for being a Muslim (or maybe as a lebo/arab since most people tend to think I am one) that was a nice piece of argument tho

As I've said before, I'm not a professional who cannot answers all your questions, I'm not a sheikh, maybe you should write a letter emphasising this issue and ask him (any sheikhs) yourself. He is not to determine whether she is attractive or not, he doesn't have to, a guy can marry an ugly...

Yeah I know, I realised that too, only the dark blue part.....shhh! :rolleyes:

I've said before that I'm in no position to provide a professional reply to this. You are meant to feel ashamed because it's just considered a bad thing. It's like you want to have sex with her, know what she's like (I'm just generalising here)

Actually they kind of do, I'm sure you've seen some Muslim men wearing a small flat hat on their heads (kind of similar to the Sheikh), just similar to what the Jewish wear (is it Kabbalah? I'm not very sure!) Looking a girl up and down is perving, checking her out, you know, checking all the...

no worries man. Glad we can have discussion and sort things out, I'd understand some people who are not used to such ideas and think it's absurd (such as hipsta jess) because it's just......absurd to you guys. But you know, this is my point of view, so don't assume that all other Muslims would...

I'm in no professional position to reply a correct answer to this, but from my point of view it's just to prevent a guy perving at you, looking you up and down. I mean, some guy can look at a girl's hair and say "Wow! I am so taken by that hair!" (you know, like those pantene ads) and then think...

do you mean the headscarf? Just to prevent guys from perving and such. What is your exact definition of fully function member or society?

I'm not sure where you're hearing this from but a guy is deifinitely not allowed to date or come into any contact with females (apart from relatives). I think a strict Muslim family will be different because a Muslim family is also influenced by strict cultural values, which, from history, came...

Honey, it only applies to those who are Muslims, and yes it is sinful (this has happened to a close friend of mine although it was more than a "friendship" and her family was outraged, you know wearing the headscarf and all but not following the Qu'ran).

rephrase --> a guy is still at fault for his actions and his state of mind. I understand where you're coming from, for example, a guy can be drunk and still rape a woman who is fully clothed even though she didn't tempt him in any way. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Depends on how you're brought up really. If you are from a strict family, then yes they do. If not then no they don't, same with the females, I mean, I know a few number of girls, some in my school, who are Muslims but don't wear the headscarf or cover theselves. I have a cousin who wears the...

I'm not trying to say that women do not perve and a guy is still responsible for his action even though the female "lewd him in". Look, it just depends on how you're brought up religiously and culturally. I live in two different cultural worlds, one inside the home and outside but my...

There is a misunderstanding. Please search the forum related to this. I agree with you there, but not many think about it when it's right in front of them
