Yasmine, can you (or someone) explain to me what women get out of being fundamentalist Muslim? I can see the appeal for men - it's a patriarchy where women are under their control. But what do women get out of being completely covered and under the control of male relatives?
"If I wanted to take the #hijab off altogether, I don’t think they would ever accept it. Every Saudi ex-Muslim woman that I know (through social media) fakes being Muslim and could never dare to admit atheism to family members."

وَقُلْ لِلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ وَلا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلا مَاظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَى جُيُوبِهِنَّ وَلا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَائِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ إلى أخر

@Imamofpeace@RitaPanahi I couldn't imagine my own family wanting me dead just for not believing in God. Lucky I'm an adult & can support myself so am not as reliant on family (unlike many in middle east) but even then to be cut off & have them want me dead for such a petty thingThanks.
