Here is a nice piece from HuffPo that tries to understand why Muslim women wear the hijab. I think it is still a bit essentializing, but overall is very good.

OMA (oh my allah!), What has happened to the clean watan? As the BBC reports: the Pakistan Airforce is now admitting women into their ranks. They are flying planes (maybe those newly released F16’s will be flown by a sister) They are shooting with rifles And they are marching in Parades: Yes!!!! Go Sisters Go!!!! What no Burqa?
Deny the Prophet
Deny Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), his teachings and his life. Such is the teaching of the Cult of Abd al-Wahhab. See Ali for more. I link to Ali because he ends so well. 1400 years of women’s presence, and a bunch of overly-hormoned men who are afraid of women wish to deny the existence of women, and take the name of Prophet Muhammad and Islam to do it. Haramzadeh ibn Shud-bewaqufi indeed. Technorati Tags: Mecca, Saudi Arabia, Women
