Day 9

Day 9

Today was a day that i woke up and felt completely 'mal' as they say- the "burkaness" really got to me today and i acted out more than i have his whole process. I always seem to go a little mad when ive been doing something for too long or if im extremely tired- as most of my fellow viscom students will know all to well. Below is a clip of this exact thing- my manic burka madness.

I posted my video on youtube hope fully ill get some comments.

I begin my blog with another contradictory passage from a blog i found: the authors name is Katie Hawkes a university intellect posting on"The Huffington post".

"If I may interject again, let me point out what the burqa truthfully represents: respect. Many Muslim women wear the burqa because they respect their bodies to such a degree that they do not wish to flaunt it to the world. How sad is it that society screams "oppressive and wrong" at this, while plastering billboards and media with pornographic depictions that shriek "liberating and right."

I admit that corrupted dictators and governments have tainted society's view of traditional Islam with their extremist attitudes and, yes, oppression of women. But surely it is a logical fallacy to brand a religious practice as 100-percent erroneous because it has been warped at the hands of fanatics. Perhaps we are the ones with a warped idea of what is truly beautiful.

If we ever tried to put a ban on immodesty, the world might simply implode. Heaven forbid free expression that dictates reverence and respect for a woman's body by covering it rather than revealing it.

Forgive me, but something about this doesn't sit well with me."

So if I may: France, how dare you?" (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/katie-hawkes/the-burqa-ban-another-mis_b_754555.html)

Articles like this do make me smile and think wow this world does have some good non opinionated people in it, however when i stumble upon youtube clips like the one below and i realize there is no way we are going to move forward in this world, or live together in any form of peace without RESPECT! The creator's of the clip definitely took time, money and energy in producing this mockery- imagine if they had actually spent the time doing something productive for the human race instead of creating this!

It disgusts me that people can make such a mockery of someone else's beliefs for there own "chuckley" benefit- this is a clear example of what a truly SELFISH western world we live in- it saddens my deeply.
