A woman’s voice is considered awrah, meaning that which must be covered, and shouldn’t be heard in public, even by other women

      Nearly all Islamic followers in the US are Democrats, so what are you on about?

        Can you honestly claim not to have recognized the long, ongoing conservative Christian effort to reach a similar state?

        Interesting that all Muslims are like the Taliban to you.

        Something tells me you’d still throw a shitfit if I said all Christians are threats to children like your average priest.

    Fucking taliban.

    I hadn’t heard of the term Awrah before and googled a little. Guess it depends on whom you ask:

    https://www.islamweb.net/en/fatwa/263791/womans-voice-is-not-awrah-but-she-has-to-speak-modestly

    https://aboutislam.net/counseling/ask-the-scholar/women-issues/is-womens-voice-considered-an-awrah/

    It’s still unfathomable to me that this is even a question that needs to be considered… But then again I don’t deal well with religion in general.

      Still better than us rule. More importantly MLs are against this like were against all far right authoritarian religious nonsense. This is no different than the median US policy.

Post title should mirror the news source title.

URL format

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.

Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

5. Ad hominem attacks

Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can’t argue your position without attacking a person’s character, you already lost the argument.
