First of, Ashraf Sinclair humours me. I mean, as long as I have watched the guy on TV, he has a very bad Bahasa Melayu. Always choose to speak in English instead. BUt as soon as he marries Bunga Citra Lestari, suddenly he can't speak BM nor English no more and start sounding like an Indonesian. Wow, you don't even want to speak malay when you are half a Malay and now you speak Indonesian just because you married an Indonesian? Talk about hypocrisy.
And just to show I am not a hypocrite, Bahasa Melayu saya sangat baik, terima kasih. Sekurang-kurangnya saya tahu "tengah hari" dieja begini, dan bukan "tengahari". Ramai yang masih tidak sedar bahawa "tengahari" merupakan ejaan yang salah. Not being cocky, just trying to prove a point before I go and kutuk Ashraf Sinclair.
Nicholas Sarkozy in his speech at the French Parliament in Versailles said that women in burkha will not be allowed into the country, that burkha is a form of restriction to identity and they imprisoned women. You can't reason with morons like Sarkozy with religion. You need to go as low as himself, and knock his head and put some sense into it. Like the fact that "identity constraints" are the stupidest term I have ever heard. Burkha IS an identity. It's an identity of being a Muslim. It goes to show that those women put Islam above everything else, as the pillar to all other things. Centering the identity on being a Muslim woman.
But still, in western term, identity is not about what you wear. Burkha does not constraint a woman. Half of the most confident women that I know of are women in purdah. They are confident enough to live their life without the need to glow in jewelleries and cosmetics. They do not need to heighten their confidence by looking pretty. They know who they are, and they don't need to explain themselves through styles and physical substance. Unlike us poor weaklings, we have to go and be all "boho", or "chic", or showing cleavages and more skin so that guys would drool at the sight of us and all that. Women in burkha know that a good woman deserves a good man, therefore, to serve a good man is to serve him alone. Cherish in beauty and sultriness (is there a word?) for his eyes only. That's not all, a woman in burkha knows the highest purpose of her being is to nurture the youngs to be better people in future, and know for a fact that if she knows her purpose on earth, she would never lose her way. And women in burkha know their purpose in life, more than anybody else in this world.
Those are the most confident of women with identity.
Not at all like Sarkozy's bullshit. Which in truth, HE is actually the 'burkha' of the world - men with shallow thoughts who restrain people's belief from entering his territory, who understand "identity" with a blunt and most premature understanding, as premature as his last ejaculation while enjoying the sights of half naked French women, I presume.
All over the world, feminists and morons try to modernise Muslim women, by saying that burkha imprison them from modernisme, from intellectual thoughts, from analytical and creative achievements. Is that true?
1. Saidatina Khadijah, world's greatest business women is a Muslim women that covers their aurah.
2. Jane Austen, one of the Regency "feministic" writer is a woman who wears proper clothes.
3. Mother Theresa, need I say more? Do you ever seen her in hot pants and low cut shirt?
4. Merve Kavakci, Egyptian politician, stirred the male-majority of the parliament, by wearing a headscarf.
5. If you can show me a picture of Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth in tights doing a strip dance, I will tarik balik everything I said.
The only woman in history who did something great by being nude on a horse was Lady Godiva, and her only achievements in today's world is to have a chocolate named after her.
Show me a burka wearing woman who are being treated like crap and I will show you lots of non-burka wearing women with a lot of crap.
