State Sanctioned Abuse

Is this the future you fu*king want?

"its not oppression", its their "choice", sure... But what about all the strings attached? I know people who regularly praise Mullah Omar, Bin Laden and all those other bastards. Our Islam teachers (well a teacher specifically who I can't name because the management sucks up to him so much I'll get expelled) says that he's (Bin Laden) the "holiest muslim" to walk the earth in recent times.

Think of it this way, you can't call Hitler a holy man and then denounce the holocaust at the same time.

    this is so strong, what a great portrait- it expresses exactly what you try to get across here, and i absolutely agree with you! and if it truly was their choice, you wouldn't have to force them, and they were brought up that way, which leaves you with the question how you are able to choose if you don't know your choices....

    awesome work, my friend!!!

    true by killing a non Muslim just like that or harming one, they think its jihad which is very wrong. where have all the good teachings of Islam gone? its the only religion that says not to harm or kill non Muslims unless they opress you! rather it forbids to do that. by going to a Pakistani madarsa one day, next day they claim they are godly! heck wish I were near a pc now! good one you brought again dude turtle

    Discuss religion is difficult, but defending the war and the death is unsustainable in any of them (all religions).

    And beautiful picture!
    Congratulations!

    Discutir religião é difícil, mas defender a guerra e a morte é insustentável em qualquer uma delas (quaisquer religiões).

    E belíssima foto!
    Parabéns!

    Beijos.

    great shot. You have conveyed your message nicely

  18. Dhonfuthu (56 months ago | reply)

    Dude. What I like most about your photography is, you always have a message to convey. My personal opinion on Buruga or Hijab is: a girls eyes can do more mischief than her hair. I have never got attracted to a woman by her hair but every relationship from one night stands to marriages starts with eye contact. I dont know if you have ever heard of the Maldivian term "loluge ziney". This photograph is a good example of what I'm saying. It conveys a very strong message though nothing but the eyes are visible. So if the idea is to keep men at bay, girls need to cover their eyes before the hair.

    And this photo is fantastic. Excellent lighting which gives perfect skin tone. I might have framed it in a different way though.

  32. MedicOne (56 months ago | reply)

    I have no interest in any religion, but maybe if western, non-muslim, women developed some self-respect & respect for their husbands so they dressed like this instead of showing themselves off like whores we may have less rape, assault, attacks on young girls etc in the West.

  33. Hani Amir (56 months ago | reply)

    MedicOne: You disgust me. So its their fault? So men are just helpless and we're automatically driven to abuse women? So us men are all innocent, eh?

    Its your kind of thinking thats making this world rot. I've hear stories of girls getting raped, and the rapists going scott free. All because the girl not wearing the burugaa was an "invitation".

    How about I rape you and say its all your fault I'm a pervert.

  34. Tijana J. (56 months ago | reply)

    Fantastic!

  35. MedicOne (56 months ago | reply)

    I don't see why I 'disgust' you because I would prefer it if Western women dressed more modestly & I'm not saying it's an excuse for rape if they don't.
    What I'm saying is that there are men out there who see immodest dress as an invitation & that if Western women didn't dress so provocatively there may be less cases of rape & assault.
    Your final statemnt is both abusive & meaningless to the point.

  36. Hani Amir (56 months ago | reply)

    Ahh but it was exactly to the point. If you were a woman and you wore something that "looks like an invitation", by your logic, there is nothing wrong with me molesting you at all. Once again you defend rapists etc and blame it all on the women.

  37. ali.akram (56 months ago | reply)

    great work dear, the clarity in this image is just wonderful.

  38. alsay (56 months ago | reply)

    dude crush, i get medicone's point
    Let me show u an example, if two twin sisters walked infront of some bad guys, one of the two weared a miniskirt and other gal weared a modest islamic dress, who have the most chances of being assaulted? naturaly its the gal wearing miniskirt

  39. alsay (56 months ago | reply)

    its sad that a muslim is against dressing modestly which the Quran orders us, while an atheist is supporting the islamic view, how sad

  40. Sharuwary a.k.a Swytmeta (56 months ago | reply)

    wara salhi dude..:)

  41. MedicOne (56 months ago | reply)

    I didn't say there was nothing wrong with the woman being molested, nor am I defending rapists by saying it's not their fault. I'm just saying there are misguided individuals who see immodest clothing as an invitation to mistreat a woman, so a modest form of dress would avoid the situation in the first place.

    Leaving all that aside I think a respectable woman who dresses the way many western women do today shames herself & her gender. In my first post I used the phrase 'self-respect' & I seriouisly think a woman who wears niqab has self-respect.

  42. Hani Amir (56 months ago | reply)

    to: alsay So what if the one wearing the miniskirt was your daughter? What if she got brutally raped? Your reaction would be to punish HER and give her a lecture right? And just let the bastard who did it walk?

    Certainly seems like it. Both of you have not condemned the abuse of women even once in your comments. How about, instead of patronizing them, we stop the abuse from happening in the first place? Ever thought of that solution?

    Yes, if a person covered in meat walks into a den of lions, he'll probably get eaten. But is humanity that primitive? So you're equating men with savage beasts with no self control, free to run wild, raping and molesting as they please?

    Have I ever once said I'm against modest clothing? I'm sick and tired of your holier than thou attitudes, attacking the victim and not the perpetrator. The narrow mindedness and selfishness of your arguments amaze me.

    The way you speak of abuse as if its a natural process disgusts me. A woman should be able to walk on the streets feeling safe, instead of living in constant fear all her life. It's because of the way people like you sidestep the issue of abuse with your attitudes and circular logic that it will never end.

    If a person runs around, slitting peoples throats on the street, do we wear a neck-brace or do we arrest him? Or do we live in fear all our lives? Do we then hire policemen to punish US for not wearing these protective measures?

    You know that article I linked to in the description, keep ignoring it.

    edit: medicone (you commented as I was typing): that maybe so, but isn't making the world safer a better idea? Self respect? in some cases, maybe, but more than often I've seen it being forced upon them. By husbands who have 4 wives, by husbands who wont let these women be what they want. Think of all the great minds going to waste, all to please the desires of men.

  43. alsay (56 months ago | reply)

    me not mentioning the rapist in my comment doesnt mean i support them, NO, the rapists shoud be PUT TO DEATH IN MY VIEW, do you hear that? THEY SHOULD BE PUT TO DEATH. but the picture you posted is a women wearing a Burqa, and the topic discussed between you and medicson was , dressing modestly,
    Now you know what i feel about rapists?

  44. Hani Amir (56 months ago | reply)

    No, you twisted it so it was just about "dressing modestly". I'm talking about womens rights, and how a girl not dressed modestly isn't open season for rape, and that people wearing the hijab to protect themselves from such people (MedicOne's suggestion) is not the solution to the problem.

  45. alsay (56 months ago | reply)

    i agree it wont stop it altogether, but its a fact that modestly clothed women have much less chance of being raped, we cant altogether stop the crime and raping, but atleast dressing modestly will minimize the problem, looking at the statistics proves it

  46. Karims (56 months ago | reply)

    Dressing modestly is liked by people all across, except when people dont want to take responsibility of sharing life with women.

    I know many non-muslims who luv the way Islam prescribes dressing for women. Mr. Dude Crash., ur argument is nothing but popular idea to gather attention as if you are some wise man.

    The rules in Islam is to stop access for committing crime...not allowing the crime to happen.

    There are segregated beach in Italy, segregated trams in Europe recently. Non-Muslim women chose it. Things are changing!!

    Coming to Osama, track USA's 2008 presidential candidate and check his views on foreign policy....see the public following for his views.

    OPEN UP...see the world as it is...not lies.
