When I lived in the Middle East, if I passed close by an older woman in the mall or something, she’d curse me out in Arabic. Telling me how I’d burn in Hell for not covering up etc. I’d just smile and pretend I didn’t understand Arabic and be all nice so she’d feel ashamed.https://twitter.com/HereticalGray/status/1101389653343518720 …

Yasmine, Is it true that women in the Middle East didn’t always wear the vail? I have friends from Iran and Egypt that say they have seen pictures of their Moms in western dress in public in their birth countries.

Yes, that’s true. Islam shrouds the previous cultures. If you google pics from 60s and 70s in Egypt Iran Afghanistan Libya...you name it..the women (usually educated, from the big cities) are dressing as they please. This insurgence of Islamism started around the 80spic.twitter.com/usbRZvecmi

This is Egyptian president scoffing at the idea in the 50s. But unfortunately the Muslim Brotherhood succeeded-mostly because ppl didn’t take the threat seriously enough....exactly what I see happening today.https://youtu.be/0fswb4a9jcU

Wait... when you say “exactly what I see happening today” what do you mean? The women in these countries are already veiled... you see women becoming veiled in Europe or the Americas?
