Rather they are dishonouring themselves by demonstrating that they don’t have the strength of character, sincerity of spirit or personal will to control their own basest instincts. The emotional (EQ) and spiritual (SQ) quotients of intelligence that need to be developed through effort seem to be lacking in many. IQ is a ‘fluke’ and is not enough; the other two quotients are essential in large amounts to overcome issues of personal stupidity. Am I being kind or is it that many of these so called protectors of women suffer from plain old ‘dumbness’ borne of a cultural indoctrination that looks to the past and pleads for the return of the ‘dark ages’! I know the issue of increasing levels of personal sovereignty is difficult for some to get their limited narrow minds around however, lets hope that those who are oppressors ‘in the name of god’ mature and get the idea eventually. I don’t thing that thinking responsible people should need to be either ‘helpless sheep’ or ‘dutiful slaves’.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09659954928399291008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700035.post-1144336972612755032006-04-07T01:22:00.000+10:002006-04-07T01:22:00.000+10:00this is a fair piece...i would tend to disagree wi...this is a fair piece...i would tend to disagree with you about the niqab/burqa being a cultural practice.
