KIssing a Burkha Clad Muslim Woman

Kissing is generally accepted as an expression of love in all communities and religions. While kissing a Christian or Hindu woman is no big deal, yet kissing a Muslim woman is quite a challenge. This is so because Muslim women wear the Hijab or Burkha. This is large gown worn over a normal dress .It is usually made of black colored cloth and covers the entire body and face as well.

The Burkha is illegal to wear in some parts of Europe but all over the world it is very much a part of the apparel of Muslim women and girls. Thus kissing a girl in a burkha can be a challenging affair.

However in case the Muslim girl is your friend then, it is imperative that you talk to her softly and not touch her in public. Ask her and in case she agrees escort her to a secluded spot or an apartment of your friend or your own residence. This is the initial step and will help break the ice Escort her to the secluded spot or room and as a first step kiss her hands and speak of your love for her. Tell her that you are sure she is more beautiful than a caliph's princess and ask her to show her moon faced beauty.

Softly kiss her hands and gently lift up the

veil that covers her face. Gaze into her eyes and breathe her breath .Tell her how beautiful she is and again kiss her hands. Follow up by slowly bringing your face close to her and give her a chaste kiss. In case she accepts you can follow up with a deeper smooch and lip lock .Let your tongue explore her mouth and tell her that she is Allah's gift to you.

 You may then even slowly remove the chaddar or Burkha. All in all it will be a tribute to your patience. But make no attempt to force the pace and let the events enfold on their own like a slow flowing river.

What do Liberated Muslim Women Feel about the Nikab or Burkha ?

The Nikab is black cloak which covers a woman from head to toe. It even covers the face leaving just a slit for the eyes. Nowhere in Koran is it written that women are to keep themselves covered like this.Yet in most Muslim societies this is enforced though women may not want it.

In Bhopal a woman was murdered as she refused to wear a Burkha. This shows the bent of mind of the Muslim male which is not open to reason at all. I wonder why Muslim men do not cover themselves. The Koran only advises that women dress modestly, not cover themselves. Things are taken to an extreme and in Saudi Arabia a woman can be executed for not wearing a Nikab when venturing out of the house

Some countries like France and Sri Lanka are legislating against this covering of the woman. In real terms it is a sign of subjugation of the woman. From reports that I have received Muslim women in Lanka are mighty pleased that the Burkha is being done away with. Muslim women in France and other European nations are also happy that coercion to wear a burkha is a crime.

Its about time the Muslim clergy and enlightened Muslims made a law that wearing Burkha is voluntary. Will it happen ?

My Thoughts on the Burkha * 78

 

I have been thinking of the Burkha for some time and wondering whether it is a mark of identity or a mark of subjugation. Frankly I can get no answer to this question. But again I am thinking that with the European countries banning the Burkha, then perhaps there must be something not proper about it. The Burkha is slightly different from the Niqab.

After the ban on the Burkha in France, Muslim clerics there defended the decision and brought out that it was a mark of subjugation. Now that I have  question; why is only a woman supposed to wear the Hijab an d not the man ?

Many do not also wear it, as it is not compulsory like in India, but in orthodox Moslem nations like Saudi Arabia wearing the Hijab is mandatory and there is no choice in the matter. Failure to wear the Burkha in these hard line states can invite action from the religious police

 but there is no doubt that wearing of the Burkha is not mandatory. Islam only mentions that women be dressed soberly and not show themselves. The Burkha is an invention of the hard line Moslem clerics. But now many a terrorist in the garb of a Burkha has been able enter a high security area and explode bombs.

 I have another facet and that will confuse a lot many people. I have a Muslim girl friend. Earlier  on an evening out with me she never wore the Burkha, but now she has started wearing one.  On my questioning her as to why she had worn it, she replied that it was not a constraint and all she wanted to do was emphasize her identity as a Moslem. As an educated lady she felt it was a symbol of her freedom as well as a mark of identity, and for that reason she liked to wear it.

The Burkha however has become part of politics with hardliners on both sides having divergent views. Some visualize it as mark of subjugation while others say it is a mark of individuality. Many European nations are moving ahead to ban the Burkha in the public place. Maybe they have a point, but in India it thrives and is a mark of identity and many women wear it. It cannot be wished away.
