More From John Rawls

Ignorance is not bliss. ignorance is poverty. ignorance is devastation. ignorance is tragedy. and ignorance is illness. it all stems from ignorance.
Ignorance Knowledge Tragedy
There is nothing so bad or so good that you will not find englishmen doing it; but you will never find an englishman in the wrong. he does everything on principle. he fights you on patriotic principles; he robs you on business principles; he enslaves you on imperial principles; he bullies you on manly principles; he supports his king on loyal principles and cuts off his king's head on republican principles.

Women in america read 'lifestyle' pages which are really glorifications of shopping. they teach us we must veil ourselves in make-up to be loved. and we willingly take the veil, thinking ourselves freed by it. make-up is no more optional for us than the veil is for arab women: it is our western version of the chador.
Thinking Shopping America
It's like everybody's sitting there and they have some kind of veil over their face, and they look at each other through this veil that makes them see each other through some stereotypical kind of viewpoint. if we're ever gonna collectively begin to grapple with the problems that we have collectively, we're gonna have to move back the veil and deal with each other on a more human level.

I have nothing against the veil. and i think that, wrongly, many in the west look at the veil as a symbol of oppression. now, as long as a woman chooses to wear the veil, because that's her belief and because of her own - that's a personal relationship with god, so she should be free to dress in whichever way she wants.

The quran says nothing about the veil, except for an injunction to veil the bosom, which is obvious. as for the face, muhammad's wife khadijeh never wore the veil, nor did the other wives of the prophet after khadijeh died. [...] the ulema have twisted the quran with their hadith, always twisting it toward those in power, until the message muhammad laid out so clearly, straight from god, has been reversed, and good muslim women are made like slaves again, or worse.
