pril 23, p. 28: Amid the flowers, ribbons and other beautiful adornments at weddings, actress Rina Gunawan always finds herself shivering with delight at the sight of so many blessings for newlywed couples.
“I can’t help myself from trembling every time I’m there,” says Rina, who has now become a wedding planner. (By Dian Kuswandini, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta)
Your comments:
I don’t understand why the Post has began to show more and more pictures of Indonesian women wearing Wahhabi clothes since these make them no better, no more superior and, of course, no more modest than the typical Indonesian Muslim, uncovered for more than 500 years of moderate, non-discriminative Islam in the
archipelago.
What is Rina’s message to other women and girls when wearing that degrading, non-Islamic hijab? That she says yes to sharia law, to female circumcision, to amputation of hands, to jihad, to polygamy, to violence, to intolerance, to religious police such as in Aceh?
