Ada yang menggunakan alasan bahwa dengan banyaknya busana muslimah, pakaian tradisional tersingkir. Semua alasan itu biasanya hanya mengada-ada. Alasan Utama adalah, jangan sampai ada orang Muslim/muslimah menjalankan ajaran agamanya. Dan bisikan seperti ini adalah bisikan Syetan/Iblis yang tidak suka manusia menjalankan aturan agama. Inilah contoh bisikan itu : Come on, Indonesian Muslimah, you have always enjoyed your independence and freedom without being promiscuous or immodest Salam, --- On Sun, 9/21/08, gkrantau <[EMAIL PROTECTED] com> wrote: From: gkrantau <[EMAIL PROTECTED] com> Subject: [zamanku] Re: Saudi women beat a path to the TV for Oprah To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] .com Date: Sunday, September 21, 2008, 11:35 PM It should be an eye opener for Indonesian women (Muslimah) who are now being coerced by the fanatical Muslim men to accept restrictions which the Arab Muslimah are beginning to realize as a form of subjugation. Come on, Indonesian Muslimah, you have always enjoyed your independence and freedom without being promiscuous or immodest. Look at your Arab counterparts only now (with cable television, the internet, magazines and travels) they began to realize that they have been treated shabilly by the men because of their tradition. Why do you want to go back into the unfair, injurious and demeaning customs of the dark ages.
