So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Are Hijabs an Article of Oppression?

By Helen Hathaway


The debate regarding extremism and oppression in Islam against woman is a never ending one it seems. The media seems to keep on focusing on the rights of Muslim lady being violated by mandating clothing articles that keep the body covered in the majority of Muslim countries. Islamic dress items such as jilbabs and abayas that cover the body from head to toe are under constant scrutiny by feminine activists and women's rights spokespersons.

Regardless of the fact that most Muslim lady select to wear these jilbabs and hijabs, the discussions never cease.

The point that the Western world and advocates of pro choice seem to have forgotten is that less than 100 years ago, ladies living in European and American countries as well used to wear clothing that fully covered them from the throat to the feet. It was considered vulgar and inappropriate for females to expose their bodies to any member of the opposite sex. The long trailing robes and gowns created up the whole contents of the girls wardrobe. In addition to these gowns, it was mandatory to wear fitted pants underneath the gown, in order to prevent even the slightest bit of exposure during movement.

So why it that the Muslim girl are is told that the jilbabs they wear are produced compulsory by the male dominating Muslim society as a way to oppress them? Why was it alright for the western woman to wear dress that were acceptable to the males of their society, though a Muslim woman cannot cover herself in order to please Allah? The lady do have a alternative and they select to wear hijabs and jilbabs in some cases. They select these dresses because they are the proper way of dressing prescribed by Islam.

There's no way that an garment may either oppress or established free any man or female in the world. The clothe worn only symbolizes the option of the person and how they opt to portray themselves to the world., as they signify the girl faith and belief in Allah and his Prophet Muhammad (P. B. U. H).

These very jilbabs are mentioned in the Quran as the way for a woman to clothing and every Muslim woman who chooses to wear them feels proud and honoured to be a component of the faith.

These hijabs are definitely not a sign of repression and have to not be considered as such either by the Europe. As a subject of fact, they represent the respect, esteem and value imparted to us by the Prophet Muhammad (P. B. U. H).
