Das ist von einer Rezension einer Amerikanerin zu einem Buch einer Expertin für islamischen Feminismus.
Fand ich interessant, dass die Meinung über den Schleier auch in islamischen Familien der USA so unterschiedlich ist.
The troubling thing that has happened in Islam in the past 20-30 years is that for Muslims *and* non-Muslims, woman are still judged by their appearance. To non-Muslims, all Muslim women in hijab are pretty much terrorists in training. In the Muslim community today, there is no longer a concept of a pious, observant Muslim woman who does not wear hijab. That wasn't the case in the past. Today, goo Muslimahs are women who wear hijab and Muslimahs who do not.... well.... they must not really love Islam or some such nonsense. There's also the oft reported that especially in American, women are free to choose to wear hijab or not. While that is true to the point that they would not be thrown in jail (nor would they in Egypt), the cultural and family pressures can be immense both ways. There are families who would just as easily disown a daughter who took up hijab as ones who would do the same to a daughter who stopped wearing hijab. There are husbands who do divorce their wives for wanting to stop wearing hijab, regardless of kids and other factors, just as there are men who divorce their wives who are convinced to wear hijab. I'm not sure what the answer is--but I do want to say that for every woman who wears hijab because she believes in her heart it is true, I know at least one or two who feel pressured into it. There doesn't seem to be the ability right now to love Islam and not choose hijab.
