Idiocy uncovered!
Recently I came across a post on facebook, in which the importance of hijab and the consequences of not wearing hijab have been pointed out. In the picture, women wearing veils were compared to a covered piece of chocolate and women not wearing veils were compared to an uncovered piece of chocolate which gets dirty and attracts flies. To my horror, I noticed that a number of well-educated people appreciated it. Needless to say, whoever posted it, tried to glorify the veiled women and demean the non-veiled women. Nowadays Facebook is a very powerful social networking site and it can be used to influence millions of its users on various issues. So I earnestly request all sensible users to discourage this sort of nonsensical post.
