The awrah of a man is not from the naval to the knees!

*PERSONAL STORY AT THE END OF THIS*

Right wing Muslims (mostly males) often love harassing hijabless Muslim women. When these right wing Muslim men are asked about why they aren't wearing hijab, the common response is that they don't have to cover their hair because the awrah of a man is only from the naval to the knees. So in other words, they can freely flaunt anything else and wear any attire they like (as long as it covers the naval to the knees and it isn't made of silk). I find this a little weird, considering the fact that Muslim male soccer (football) players, boxers, wrestlers, and rugby players don't follow this rule strictly, and no one cares. No one raises a finger. As a matter of fact, many Muslims often say to young Muslim boys to look up to these athletes. However, Muslim female athletes are often scrutinized, even if they are wearing hijab while competing. Double standards much?

Sorry to say, but women are attracted to good looking men (nice hair, eyes, muscular arms and shoulders, chest, and abs). Are men sinful for this if women get turned on? Does Shaytaan go out with us if we go out into the public? Because those features that I mentioned are considered okay to show for Muslim men.

Does this make sense to you? Women must wear hijab or burka but men can, under Islam, show the above features?

I also find it so strange that many of these Muslim men who obsess about awrah, have YouTube/twitter accounts showing off their muscles. All of those dawah guys, apologists, and preachers of Islam, why are they wearing muscle shirts or tight t-shirts? Why do they have their hair combed in a nice way? Don't they realize women might be attracted to them? I think the solution is for these men to either wear a hijab or burka, or just stay at home.

I am not married yet. But I know when I am, I will feel jealous if I see a handsome man around (yes, you can realize there's good looking men without being gay). What should my response be? Tell that man to stay at home or wear hijab, because he is a fitnah for my wife?

See, I don't have a muscular body. Nor am I handsome. However, I have tight shirts that I wear around the house or for gardening. I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing it in public because I KNOW women will look. This is an attitude many Muslim men don't have, and they freely flaunt their bodies because, oh right, the awrah is only from "the naval to the knees".

Another thing I would like to point out is that the body shapes of men ALSO show even if our traditional awrah is covered. No one pays attention to this, sadly, because everyone is busy going after Muslim women for "showing" body shapes. I have said this before, it doesn't matter what is worn, body shapes of men and women will ALWAYS be visible. It is stupid that the Muslim community expects women to pay attention to how she appears in public. No one should ever have to worry about others seeing the shapes of the body. I as a male, even in my loose baggy jeans, will still have some shape visible to others. Do I care? No. Should I worry? No. In the exact same way, no Muslim woman should be pressured into thinking about if her shapes are visible. Most Muslim men and women do not have the intention to show certain body shapes. They are visible because they just are.

Even at the masjid, as I look around, I can easily see the body shapes of men. These men wear tight clothes without realizing it.

Now as I promised way up above about a personal story. Two years ago I was waiting alone at a bus stop. I was sitting on a bench and looking at my phone. In the distance I saw a woman approaching me. I figured she wanted to take the bus too. But then she came really close and sat right next to me. I looked at her and she gave me a several-teeth- missing smile. I got creeped out. I just looked down and pretended to be busy on my phone. She kept staring at me! Literally like what the heck. And then she said "my my, aren't you a sight for sore eyes". I was SUPER uncomfortable. I just nodded and hoped she would stop staring and talking. She STILL kept on staring. Then, just when I thought things couldn't get worse, she put her hand in my lap. I immediately got up and told her to stop. She replied "well honey I just can't help it. Come here and sit on mommy's lap". I began walking away. The bus was about five minutes away, but I would rather walk a bit and find another bus stop and wait for another 30 minutes then be anywhere near that woman for another five. As I was walking away, she yelled "oh my, look at that @$$".

Now this may seem a little funny but there are several important things to think about here. If there was a Muslim woman in my place instead of me (a male), Muslims would be saying she should wear better clothes and should be with a mehram. Because not only are you in a dangerous situation, you are being cursed by the angels for showing your "beauty". So what about me? I always wear very loose jeans and loose shirts. I don't style my hair either. Yet I was a source of attraction and temptation to this creepy woman (still haunts me by the way). Should I have worn a burka? Should I have been with a mehram woman to "protect" me?

Also, a similar situation happened with my Muslim friend (except this time it was a male bothering him by making sexual advances). What do right wing Muslims say about this? Where are all those salafis and followers of people like Daniel Haqiqatjou, Anjem Choudhary, Abu Waleed, and so on?

Daniel Haqiqatjou has blocked me from his facebook page

This is interesting. Daniel blocks me off his page, yet lets the aggressive, even racist, sexist, and kaffirphobic comments continue to pour in!

The self hating and extreme Muslim women who unfortunately make their way to live in the West

I've written about self hating Muslim women before. I have also shown screenshots of them, see here:

http://pakmentality.blogspot.ca/2017/07/how-pakistani-women-internalize-misogyny_9.html

Now what really annoys me are the self hating Muslim women who immigrate to the west. Below is a woman I found on Daniel Haqiqatjou's page:

 

 

The four morons who liked her comment also live in the west, yes among kaffirs.

And we wonder yet again why so many young Muslims are insecure about Islam.

Daniel Haqiqatjou is the latest moron to join the list of nut job fanatics

I made a video on this see here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d96j-2XQ9KE&list=LL8yHjmv7DuxLSxepXfyBUtQ&index=43

Here is a new post I just made about him: http://mymuslimthoughts.blogspot.ca/2018/01/refuting-daniel-haqiqatjou-once-again.html

As much as I hate to say it, Trump is correct in banning Muslims from certain countries.
I have posted on here before about online Islamic forums, certain Islamic youtube channels, and certain Islamic websites which are full of stupidity. Right wing Muslims are a plague. They justify every psychotic statement they make in the name of Islam. Furthermore, every psychotic Muslim preacher or organization will always attract followers. I have no idea why this ummah contains so many idiots who blindly worship anything that is abnormal, degenerate, and swine-like.

I was browsing through a Pakistani facebook page  (Pakistan Votes) which is probably one of the very few sane minded pages to exist in the Islamic world. On it I found a screenshot (here is the link to the page https://www.facebook.com/pakistanvotes/posts/1915659475115451) from this man (Daniel Haqiqatjou) who said something like having female friends leads to flirting, which leads to zina. Okay, that I kind of agree with. Then came a response from a Muslim woman to him which went something like having male friends creates understanding between the genders which leads to a decrease in sexual harassment. Obviously this is correct, as I have posted before on here links to studies that show men who see women as equals are far less likely to harass or sexually assault.
I googled this guy's name and I found out he runs the website Muslim Skeptic. It is full of articles that take shots at women, non-Muslims, and those who don't adhere to strict Islamic doctrines. Pretty disgusting huh? It also had articles of him supporting child marriages (because it decreases the chances of "zina") and an article where he compared hijabless women to not wearing a seatbelt. He throws in jokes here and there to make himself look funny, but only his low IQ followers would laugh at them. After seeing his site I found his facebook page, which had the same stupidity on his site. It also showed that he lives in America, which is shocking because Muslims of his caliber should only be found in conservative Islamic countries where they can preach their hate and filth to crowds of uneducated fools. But this time we get to see the sick comments supporting his views. And you know what? Many of his supporters live in America and in Europe. These right wing animals are found living in civilized countries. Sick comments and living in places where tolerance and gender equality are highly respected. How does this make sense in any way?

The following are screenshots of the comments on his page. As I said, psychotic Muslim preachers always attract followers. It is mostly men but as I mentioned before there are always self hating women who will join hands these idiotic right wing Muslim males.

To answer the idiots, gheerah and dayooth are salafi concepts that are aimed at making men insecure and controlling. No civilized man with a rational mind can think in such a way. The sickness in the comments prove how they view women, and they're using Islam to support this stupidity.

P.S. notice the amount of likes these morons get.

P.P.S this guy Bulbulia also wrote a comment on the page saying Muslim men shouldn't let their daughters go to western universities otherwise they would comeback with non-Muslim boyfriends. I would show it but I would have to find it and the amount moronic comments just makes me angry. But you see what kind of freaks are gathered? I remember that comment itself got 5 likes. Shocking and stupid.

And see the self hating women who come on and support this freak:

These are just a few screenshots. There's a lot more vomit on his page.

A very comprehensive and informative video about a woman's dress in the Quran

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKSgA1xNcMY&list=LL8yHjmv7DuxLSxepXfyBUtQ&index=1

This is an on going series of posts about a woman's dress, and how head covering is not mandatory in Islam.

Some more Islamic scholars who say hijab is not mandatory

Abu Hurairah (radhiAllahu anhu) narrated: Messenger of Allah (sallaAllahu alayhe wasallam) said, “Allah does not look at your figures, nor at your attire but He looks at your hearts [and deeds].”
[Muslim]

This is my fifth or sixth post about hijab and women's dress. You may want to read the following:

I have featured the reknown scholar Dr Shabbir Ally on here before. He is widely respected and said in his videos how hijab is not an Islamic requirement. Here are some more scholars who say something similar.

Some Islamic websites that need to be avoided

Before seeing these ridiculous websites, you might want to read the following first:

http://mymuslimthoughts.blogspot.ca/2015/04/does-culture-influence-our-views-on.html

Something we have to realize is that certain Islamic websites will twist Islam to their liking. They will quote verses out of context, and they will rely on salafi/wahhabi hadiths, ESPECIALLY when it comes to the topic about women.

So let's begin. This first one if called Quran.mu, and it is absolutely horrible. Not only does the Maulana (unfortunately) misquote several Quran verses and rely on salafi/wahhabi hadiths, he attacks pro gender equality Muslims and equates them with wanting sex. If you want to puke see here: http://www.quran.mu/mixing-of-sexes-in-islam.html. They have a whole section on women, and it is the usual stupidity of them being needed to be burka covered housewives and be segregated from society.

The website has several sections literally attacking women. It shows nothing positive about women, it only quotes anti-women hadiths (many of which aren't even sahih/reliable). It also holds, for some reason, very stupid assumptions about women. Like see here: http://www.quran.mu/those-wives-having-the-habit-of-dominating-their-husbands-in-islam.html

The link talks about dominating and controlling women! LOL. It is hilarious to see a hardline right wing Islamic website cry about dominating women! Did you all also see the part of them accusing women of loving facebook and ignoring their duties? Literally, how screwed up can these morons get?

The second one is called The Muslim Woman. It is a Saudi based website, and again, has the usual women needing to be burka covered housewives because the authors say so because they read Islam.
*EDIT*- It turns out this website has closed down! Thank Allah for that!

This last one (for now) is based out of South Africa, called the Majlis. This website is very anti-salafi, which normally would be a good thing. However, these guys are pretty screwed up, since deobandis are just as mental. I first noticed this in 2012, when it launched a fiery of fatwas against Muslim women who played at the Olympics. The mufti called them "prostitutes". That's when I know this was a screwed up website (fatwa is the last link).
These people are extreme. They use the "shaytaan", "biddah", "kuffar", and "mushrikeen" card consistently. The admin of the website clearly has mental issues. Have a look at these fatwas, it might make Islam QA look liberal to you!
