[QUOTE]Originally posted by omelbanaat: [QB] In Egypt, I feel that increasing amounts of women, teenagers and even young girls are taking up the veil. For someone like me, who chooses not to, or rather, who does not believe that it is a requirement of my faith, things can get a little frustrating. Just let me say, for the record, that no-one has been able to prove that Hijab is a Farida (requirement, like prayer, fasting, etc.) I enjoy the debate, and enjoy being given fresh fodder for my defence, but I would equally appreciate anyone who could give me evidence that disproves my point. If it was categorically right, "you must veil yourself" there wouldn't even be a debate, would there. So, I shall continue wearing my jeans, tank tops, and especially my bathing suits this summer. My sister in law wears a huge t-shirt and leggings to the beach, and the other one is veiled, and they still get stared at, so what's the diff? I'll burn in hell? <IMG SRC="http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/eek.gif"> I don't think so. I might be at a higher risk for carcinoma, but the feel of the sand, wind and water on my bare skin, the pure joy of it, makes it worthwhile <IMG SRC="http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/cool.gif"> . Once again, if you choose the veil, that's great for you, but just know that you don't have to do so just to be a "good Muslim". Salaam. [/QB][/QUOTE]
