A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08
The liberation of women.
0:11
Among the issues that liberals frequently discuss
0:15
is the issue of the "liberation of women," as they claim.
0:19
In reality, what they intend by this
0:21
is for women to divest themselves of every virtue, modesty, and sense of shame,
0:25
under the guise of freedom,
0:27
so that they may, in actual fact, become
0:29
enslaved to the desires of human devils,
0:32
fashion houses,
0:34
and the latest trends.
0:36
They are lured with cheap money
0:38
to become promotional commodities for all manner of products.
0:42
One piece of evidence for this
0:44
is that Tahrir Square in Cairo
0:47
was named as such because a women’s demonstration marched through it
0:52
during the era of the Egyptian monarchy.
0:54
At its inception, it was claimed
0:56
that it was a revolution against the British occupation,
0:59
yet the women suddenly removed
1:01
the niqab from their faces
1:03
in a theatrical gesture,
1:05
declaring their liberation from it.
1:08
We fail to see what the British occupation had to do with the niqab;
1:12
did the British impose it upon them,
1:15
or is there more to this than meets the eye?
