I was attracted to the title because at a glance, I thought it was a debate. It was not. To conclude, she only praised how good bikini is and how bad niqab is. That's not a debate, that's just a video of a woman, talking about her opinion which was totally biased I must say.
I have my respect towards anyone, regardless their attire. I don't mind at all, I don't judge, I've never thought of them as any of those negative thoughts, NO! I understand they just wanna feel beautiful, just how I love being beautiful. We just have our own way and beautiful itself is subjective. That's why I kinda disagree with the lady in the video generalizing women who wear niqab.. So unfair and rude.. :/
If you don't want others to generalize hookers = bikini, don't generalize Muslims either! Only some of Muslim cover themselves because of those negative reason, just like how only few people who wear bikini just to look like a hooker. Am I right? Bikini is just a swim wear and niqab is just a fashion unusual to some of us, that's all, respect it!
What is a bikini?
Generally, it's a two piece swimming suit. In a simple word, it's a two piece woman underwear, made of fabric like lycra. Fabrics which won't make you heavy in water..
What is a niqab?
A niqab is commonly worn by Muslim women in Middle East, it covers the entire face, revealing only their eyes. It's a very thin, breathable piece of cloth. It is not an obligation for Muslim women. Muslim women are allowed to expose only their face and hands (from wrist to finger).
I'm not going to elaborate what she talks, here's my version of Bikini vs Niqab. ;)
Women wear what makes them feel beautiful.
Bikini : Yes, I can't disagree more. That's the truth. Only insecure women feels unconfident about showing their body. Nobody can deny the fact that women is naturally a beautiful creature. (LOL seriously, grow up!)
If so, why does some women cover up themselves when they go out? Before that, let me clarify the two types of "covered up women" :
1. Because she is insecure about herself as I mentioned earlier
2. Simply because she wants to, only when she go out ; at home, they're the dancing queen!
3. Covered up only because it's obligation, she still wear out standing clothIt's undeniable there are some of the 1 and 3 women among Muslim, but that's not limited among Muslims! They exists among any women around the world.
So I'm going to talk about the 2 women : because they want to cover up when they go out. These women are very confident about herself, she doesn't need to show her body to everyone, just so she can feel beautiful. No. She doesn't need those. Sounds silly?
How does Bikini makes women feel confident and beautiful? Because she is able to show her skin, walk with pride, and proves that she is not being ashamed of her body.
