Arab Women: Harassed and Hurt
Tishrei 13, 5770 / 21 September 2010
by Dr. Phyllis Chesler Arab
Women are being subjugated by the hijab. Obediently wearing the Islamic Veil does not protect Muslim women from being raped and beaten within their own families, harassed on the streets, sold into sexual slavery.
In Palestine, more specifically, in Gaza, the territory that is currently most adored by western artists, “free” thinkers, and flotilla “activists,” any woman who refuse to wear hijab, the headscarf, faces new punishments. In the fall of 2010, Asmaa al-Ghoul, a Palestinian journalist whom I interviewed http://pajamasmedia.com/phyllischesler/2009/07/08/palestinian-taliban-arrest-palestinian-feminist-government-promises-investigation/ and who has written about honor killings among Palestinians, was literally arrested for not wearing hijab and for wearing jeans; perhaps she was also arrested due to her work which exposed honor killings. In any event, Asmaa now writes that a friend who “refuses to wear the hijab has not been allowed to graduate from university.” http://globalvoicesonline.org/2010/09/09/palestine-for-gaza-students-no-graduation-without-hijab/
It is not clear whether Asmaa is writing about the Islamic University of Gaza, about al-Azhar University in Cairo or about both universities.
In any event, in the past, women in Gaza, and for that matter, in Egypt, wore modern and western dress. Arab feminists fought for and won the right to be naked-faced, to feel the sun on their cheeks. With the rise of Khomeini in Iran, the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan, coupled with the increasing influence of both Khomeiniism andSaudi Wahhabism, worldwide, especially on Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, freedom for women ended.
Asmaa writes: “In Gaza, you will come across repressive rules, hurtful comments, stupid words and contemptuous looks, and scorn for the women not wearing hijab. In the small world of Gaza, we need someone to defend the rights of women who don’t wear hijab, or the jilbab, or the niqab. It’s a system that establishes the idea that women should be treated as bodies.”
Asmaa goes on to explain that, in Gaza, Christian Arabs are required to wear hijab as well as Muslim Arabs.
Although the head of Al-Azhar University recently snatched the niqab from a girl’s face and said that face-covering is not religiously required by Islam—Asmaa decries the fact that the university still demands that female students wear the hijab, headscarf, if they are to graduate. And, they must take their official photo wearing hijab, not bare-headed, even if they are bare-headed in their daily lives.
She writes about how young girls are being forced to wear hijab in secondary schools. When they resist, as her younger sisters did, they were forced into the blazing sun “in an attempt to force them to wear the hijab…the headteacher at the time said to me,
‘I want to receive God’s reward because of them.’”
And in Australia, a Muslim woman leader and member of Hizb ut-Tahrir also defended the right of Muslim women to both face-cover, body cover, and head-cover. http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/australia/4146171/Burqa-ban-un-Australian-rally-told Yesterday, in Sydney, a Muslimfemale speaker addressed a 2000-strong rally which opposes a proposed burqa ban. She said that a ban is ‘un-Australian” and that Islamic values are “superior” to “flawed” western, secular values. According to Fautmeh Ardati,
“The western secular way of life, robs a woman of her dignity, honor, and respect, where she is considered little more than a commodi ty to be bought and sold…I feel empowered by the knowledge that I am in control of displaying my beauty to whom I choose.”
Although some Muslim women will defend their “choice” to wear the Islamic veil, it is a “forced” choice, not a “free” choice. Girls and women have been honor murdered in the Islamic world and by Muslim immigrants in the West for refusing to do so; they have also been harassed, insulted, beaten, fired from their jobs, and forced into permanent spinsterhood in Muslim communities, world-wide. They have also been misinformed about Islam and believe, wrongly, that the Qur’an requires them to cover their faces, their bodies, and their heads. However, like men, women are merely told to dress “modestly.”
Lately, there are more and more women in burqas and niqab on the streets of Europe and North America, women wearing tight headscarves and long, heavy coats in the hottest weather—and they are walking right besides their husbands who may have beards but who are wearing light-weight, summery western-style clothing.
Something is terribly wrong with this picture—especially since obediently wearing the Islamic Veil does not protect Muslim women from being raped and beaten within their own families, harassed on the streets, sold into sexual slavery.
It is ironic that so many western “progressive” activists are willing to sign petitions to “free Gaza.” But free Gaza from whom? From Hamas, from rigid Islamist misogyny, or from the Israelis who long ago, left Gaza and who are not now imposing such restrictions on women.

Stats and Facts on Israeli Humanitarian Aid Transfers to Gaza
Quality of life for Palestinians in
1. Loss of Palestinian lives and property due to Hamas’s continued rocket attacks against
Hamas’s continued attempts to smuggle arms into the territory and refusal to release Staff Sgt. Gilad Shalit have also led
2. Hamas’s violent takeover of
Hamas recently rejected an offer by Abbas to discuss a plan to end the ongoing violence between the two groups.[16] The Hamas-Fatah rivalry also led to a power outage in
3. Hamas’s indoctrination of children in violent ideology through its network of summer camps. Each summer, Hamas organizes children’s camps that instill hatred towards
Hamas and other extremist groups have accused the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) – the UN’s aid organization for Palestinians – of corrupting Palestinian youth by operating secular summer camps, which incorporate sports and human rights lessons. A Hamas spokesman said the UNRWA camps were a “barbaric attack on our children…whose objective is to corrupt their morals with drugs and other things.”[23] In May and June 2010, armed jihadist groups vandalized two UNRWA summer camps in Hamas-run
4. Hamas’s enforcement of strict Islamic morality and repression of women. In line with its roots as a fundamentalist religious movement based on the Muslim Brotherhood,[26] Hamas has gradually imposed Sharia (Islamic religious law) on Gazans, despite past statements by the group’s leaders that it would not do so.[27] As part of its “virtue” campaign, Hamas in recent months arrested a female Palestinian journalist for laughing while at a public beach and for not wearing a head covering.[28] Hamas forbids women from riding motorcycles with men and has banned men from working at women’s hair salons.[29] Hamas dispatches “modesty patrols” to check cars for men riding with single women to whom they’re not related.[30] Hamas has closed a number of Internet cafes, movie theaters and bars frequented by young people in
5. Hamas’s repeated attempts to block humanitarian aid from reaching its citizens. Although

Hierbij aangetekend dat er totaal voorbijgegaan wordt aan de situatie dat het gaat over ´compleet joods grondgebied van oudsher´. In 1929 is hier een massaslachting geweest in het 'Beit Hadassah' (zie 'Kirjat Arba, Hebron' en 'Kind van Hebron'). Helaas door de Oslo-akkoorden is er enorm veel strijd ontstaan rondom Kirjat Arba.Daardoor zijn (waren, tot voor kort) de controles haarscherp. De noodzaak (en de ervaring hiervan) is moeilijk uit te leggen, tenzij je Hebron zelf bezocht hebt. Tot die tijd blijft het een probleem om de diepte van het conflict te bevatten. Dit filmpje wordt dan ook, naar mijn mening, totaal belicht vanuit het Arabisch oogpunt.
Mijn ervaring met de Israelische soldaten is er eentje die erg positief was. De jongens proberen op een goede manier orde te houden en doen dit met een correctheid in gedrag. Idd willen ze altijd weten waar je naar toe gaat, maar dat is niet (slechts) voorbehouden aan Hebron. Ik kan goed begrijpen wat het probleem is in Hebron en deze situatie mag dan ook niet bekeken worden van één kant (zoals zo vaak gebeurd).
Wat dit filmpje heel goed laat zien is hoe ´Joodse settlers´feitelijk geen settlers zijn, maar alleen maar hun grondgebied willen behouden (waar ze nog steeds de hypotheek voor betalen, maar waar ze niet mogen wonen volgens de Oslo-akkoorden en daarom is er enorm veel leegstand van huizen en winkels !), daarom op deze manier in Hebron blijven wonen en daarom ook hun rechten opeisen. Gek toch, als je grond je afgenomen is door eens stelletje regeerders die niet weten waar ze over praten... Mag je dan een keer je stem laten horen? Regelmatig vinden hier beschietingen plaats door de Arabische bevolking op de settlers (lees: rechtmatige eigenaren van de grond) maar ook dat wordt niet genoemd in het filmpje.... Ik vind dit dus een éénzijdige mening die hier wordt gebracht. Kijkt u ook eens naar de foto's die we gemaakt hebben van dit gebied bij 'Kirjat Arba, Hebron'. Het laat zien hoe kwetsbaar de joodse wijk is.
