Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Have you heard about Asma Lamrabet?
She’s a Muslim theologian from Morocco who recently decided to review the women role in Islam with a modern and fairer flair:

She chose not to wear the hijab in 2019 as it never was found to be used this way in any religious text.
Well, as a woman… I wouldn’t wear either. I live in America, I’m free, and I enjoy sharing that I am made in the image of God.
One of the main reasons they wanted us to wear the masks, and they want to cover Womens heads and face is all over the world, is subjugation. They hate us. They hate that we shine, and they hate that we are made in the image of God.
There’s been a history of people who love to subjugate not only was just women, but their slaves by using masks and head apparel. If you do a search on Google, you’ll find some pretty disgusting looking contraptions they used to put over peoples heads.
I’m so grateful that my Lord and Savior never wanted to hide my beautiful head under a bushel. He wants my light to shine.👏👏👏 I am grateful.
well said!
Whenever there is a sudden "feminist" uprising in the muslim world right now, my first guess is that they are CIA assets trying to do a color revolt.
