Naomi - //andy-hughes, here you are – from October 2016. //I wrote a stinking letter to my local British Homestores store because they were selling slippers with the words OLD and GIT embroidered on them.//
Your willingness to drag up ancient posts in order to have a pop at me is positively scary you really need to get out more - or at least confine yourself to the debate and stop being so obsessed with the minutia of what I say - other posters are available for you to pick on.

sp1814 - //It's odd how some people think they know so much about Muslim women and their attitudes to traditional dress. //
Indeed.
Some on here read some sensationalist piece in a tabloid and think it confers on them an expertise on Muslim culture and behaviour and allows them to get all het up about something they actually know nothing about.

"Maybe before making such glib observations, you'll spare a thought for all the woman and children who are beaten for not wearing a hijab."
That statement stretches your argument to breaking point.
There are women who are beaten by their husbands for not wearing the hajib.
There are women who actively want to wear the hajib.
Should the latter not have the choice because of the former?
An example - there are women who are forced into prostitution by their husbands and boyfriends.
If Debenhams sells sexy lingerie and high heel shoes, would you be saying, "Think of those women who are forced to dress like that by their pimps"?
I mean - carry that through to its logical conclusion and Valentine's Day 2017 is going to be a rather tepid affair.

Its OK FF they will twist the truth to suit their thoughts and opinions.
The truth is the women that will go and buy these scarves are forward thinking Muslim women the type of women we want to encourage to help change the future for women who may not be so lucky.
Could you expand on that ... who are the women who are not so lucky?

fiction-factory, //If you think the sort of a woman who is beaten by her husband for not wearing one is going to go out and buy one of these then what makes you think that//
I didn’t say that and I don’t think that. You suggested that the sale of these garments will protect women from beatings.
andy-hughes, no one is picking on you or having a pop at you. You’re taking part, voluntarily, in a discussion and if people disagree with you, or provide evidence that contradicts your posts, so be it. That's the nature of discussion.

I might recall something you have said yesterday, the day before at a push, but the fact that you recall posts I made four months aho hints at an interest bordering on obsession.
Why not focus your interest on another AB'er - there are plenty to choose from - your obsession with constantly responding to me every single time I post is beginning to look stalker-ish, and not 'in the spirit of debate' at all.
