Somali women then and somali women today

[Rahima]

It is interesting that it is predominately men who seem to have a problem with the hijab. Why men would be so obsessed with the chosen attire of women is beyond me.

[Naxar Nugaaleed]

Y'all got beef cracking in here lol @ kadabad, haven't heard that in a while, is dajiya peeps

[Aaliyyah]

Rahima tell me about it waxey xidhan bay isku xiijinayaan. Hadii yaga luguso dejin laha maxey sameen lahayeen lol

[Naxar Nugaaleed]

Aaliyya you definitely incouraged to comment on the men's version ugly contemporary fashion adoptions. I for one can not stand afar jeeble and those rediculous baseball caps started by the landers and now spreading to Puntland looool

[Che -Guevara]

Oba.....You should really learn when to quit! Nothing good could come out of this.

 

N sincere advice, your brand of habaar iyo ceey is unmanly.

 

N for every guy on this board, each one of us has female relatives that dress western, don jiljabaab and everything in-between. Unless, you are insulting or ridiculing the choices of the women in your life, I say let's drop. We have enough !diots mocking Somali women, the last thing they need is their sons adding insults to injury.

[Naxar Nugaaleed]

Is it mocking or constructive Criticism though lol

[Che -Guevara]

^Constructive criticism doesn't start with hoes, n why focus on women's attire seriously? Hadii dhaqan laga hadlayo, rag Soomaali ah oo dumarka waxee xiran yihiin isku mashquulin jirey lama arki jirin.

With that being said afar jeeble is those baggy jeans right.?oh my god and those caps lol I'm on the same page as you. But each on his own. Dhulki hooyana dharka miya lageeyey lol

[Che -Guevara]

My bad Naxar, are you talking about the dude in the picture...lool

[SomaliPhilosopher]

Hey regardless of this debate over the British v. Arab culture conquest over our woman, I think we can all agree dem Britisg wear is more pleasant on the eyes

[Malika]

Oba warya kaa xishood gabadha - Blessed, I think you misunderstood Oba, it was just an observation he had made of the changes - which we all have seen. Looking back at how 'at ease' folks where with dress codes to the almost 'militant' mentality on what a girl/woman should wear now days..taasi maa been baa?

[Rahima]

Something is not right here!

 

People- can we just remember that we are Muslims and therefore must believe that the hijab is mandatory. It is not as if the two pictures are comparing women who are in different types of hijab, it is comparing women who are NOT in hijab and those who are (you may not like the design of it, but they are in hijab).

 

I may not like the design of the Somali style jilbaab but i MUST as a Muslim preference that over a mini skirt- maxaa idin kugu dhacay?

[Blessed]

^I concur!

 

The writing is on the wall Malika. He concerned himself with xumaan, lack of sharaf and xishood of todays jilbaab wearing women. Your interpretation is very different but IMO militant concern on how we dress is exactly what this thread is about. Hijab is also not the major issue for our women today, I have an issue that our struggles and experiences are reduced with male concern of our dress code.

 

Oba, I'm a liar but your athiest friends "ladies of the night" comment is "aight", mahoo? Give it up huuno!
