Is it normal i think "islamic modesty" like the hijab is anything but "modest"

There are lots of guys in Egypt who intentionally bruise up their foreheads, so they walk around with these bruised foreheads for everyone to see. And it's because they bow down when they pray, so it's like 'look at me, look at how much I pray' - a humblebrag like you said. Trying hard to appear virtuous rather than actually being virtuous.
So...I'm just saying, I think it's a bit of a thing in the Islamic world. It's a crazy religion.

I agree but the true purpose of that garment is submission and ownership, not modesty.

True in the West but in their home country where every damn person is wearing one of those your point doesn't stand. that's like saying when amish/menonites are on their way thru normal towns in that ridiculous (and smelly) get up are just doing it for attention

Islam is by far the most fucked up religion today. Not to say most every other religion isn't messed up, but at least 90% or more have changed with the times. islam doesn't mostly depending on where they practice in certain countries.
In the middle east they are totally violent to anyone who doesn't believe, who broke some stupid law, to their women, to gays and towards others who practice different faiths.

I know a couple people who came to America and quit islam because of the bat shit crazy lifestyle. The horrific stories of their family and neighbors getting beat or killed for something here no one would care two shits about.

I recently saw an Islamic couple at a resort I was at. The woman was wearing a black, one piece bathing suit and had to garb on her head. She wasn't all done up as I've seen before. I would consider this a more modern form and they were younger people. All good with that. I think most people looked at her once and didn't think so much about it unlike some poor woman wearing an entire garbage bag over her face and body. That stands out and screams - look at how fuckin' repressed I am! Nothing more than that.

I suppose that style of dress predates your own sense of fashion.

If you don't like it, don't wear it.
You are no different than someone who complains about purple hair, tattoos, piercings and skinny jeans.

It's religious oppression. All religion is based on oppression and fear. Religion in all its ugly forms has been the source of untold misery to the human race since the beginning of recorded history. And as long as fear exists, it always will be.

That's a really good point I've never thought about before.

"I'm so modest I cover my head in a scarf"

"Oh yeah, well I'm so modest I don't let any skin show at all!"

Haha.

It's a testament to how primitive and easily brainwashed humans still are.

Hijabs, and their cousins, the niquab and burka are designed to subjugate and dehumanise a person. They are symbols of women's oppression in the modern world and I feel it is a serious human rights violation, considering they make women wear these in very hot climates to avoid the very real threat of rape in Muslim countries.

Im scared of most Muslims tbh.

You should keep that bag on your head gramps.

I think anyone who does anything in the name of their Gawd is a moron.

its a islamic tradition for the women to cover their bodies like that so it wont sexually attract men. Of couse in a muslim country it is shunned to a woman not to wear it (i think only married ones use it, but i might be wrong). Now on our 'ocidental world' where the muslm faith is rare, of couse it calls for attention.
Also, there is a difference between beeing modest and beeing discreet

I like them.
