Let's think bout' it....:)

A thoughtful conversation about Hijab..

A thoughtful conversation to reflect

A Mufti sat next to a Reverend on a flight.

Rev                       : What is your occupation?

Mufti                    : I'm into big business

Rev                       : But what business exactly?

Mufti                     : I deal with God

Rev                        : Ah, so you're a Muslim

                               religious leader. I have one problem

                   with you Muslims: you oppress your

                   women.

Mufti                     : How do we oppress women?

Rev                        : You make your women

                    cover up completely and

                    keep them in the homes.

Mufti                      : Ah. I have a problem with 

                   you people: you oppress MONEY

Rev                         : What? How can one oppress money?

Mufti                      : You keep your money hidden away, 

                   in wallets, banks and safes.

                   You keep it covered up.

                   Why don't you display it in public if it's

                   a beautiful thing

Rev                       : It will get stolen, obviously.

Mufti                    : You keep your money hidden

                  because it is so valuable. We

      value the true worth of women far, 

      far more. Therefore, these

      precious jewels are not on display 

      to one and all. They are kept

      in honour and dignity.
