Is the Burqa a Arab Pagan Dress?

[salahuddin]

Some people always wonder the origins of the veil. Is is a Islamic dress or is it a dress used by Arab bediuon Women in Arabia?.

Well, the veilling of women is a Arab pagan dress, Arab pagans dressed their women in burqas way before Islam was ever created.

Take this quate for example:-

Roman African Christian Tertullian, writing in Chapter 17 of The Veiling of Virgins around 200 AD,
praises the modesty of those "pagan women of Arabia" who "not only cover their head, but their whole face...preferring to enjoy
half the light with one eye rather than prostituting their whole face."

Remmeber this was written in 200AD, so supporters and promotors of the Burqa, do not get excited because mankind during that period of time was very much different than now.

So, does this mean Islam has aspects of Arab Paganism? If so, why do Muslims promote this sense of happiness of leaving Paganism, but on one hand still keep hold onto some traditions of Pagans, that being veiling themselves?

yes its usually the ones who walk around in western revealing clothing them selves that always wonder this, leave the burqa alone not everyone wears it , on this entire site i think there's only two of us who wear it , why is the topics always on burqa leave it alone i'm getting sick of you guys, what do you care,your women don't wear it so leave the ones that do alone most of the muslims these days promote the tight busting jeans with tops that reveal everything.

no .. pre islamic arab women would often circumabulate the kabba for example near naked.... The veil in terms of religious usage started with the jews.... continued but abandoned today by the Christians and then with the muslims

This is really a news for me that burqa is a pagan tradition. This is not the same topics which we discussed before. Thanks for giving a fresh new aspect to this menace of burqa which for me is just making woman a subhuman. What the hell is so important that you must cover the whole body of women including face . It seems if women uncover their face the world will have its doomsday.

Dress should be decent, according to occasion and has nothing to do with religion. Religion is your faith, morality and worship not dress or culture.

Such social evils as burqa in Pashtuns must be discussed again and again as to create more and more awareness among Pashtuns.
