Life / If I'm agnostic, deist, atheist - can I say that to Polish people in Poland? [72]

med; you cant compare tunusia and turkey, tunusia arabic country and over there hot ,they can wear like arabic costume but in Turkey not about culture, whos cultures? I seen in street front of restaurant people wear old historic polish costumes,and if its cultures now people must wear and walk in the street? First sorry for my english Im sure terrible but I try to write anyway I hope you can understand,and in Turkey this headscarf absolutely politic, not culture .We dont have culture like that, 75 years ago destroyed that culture.Islamic country they let people walk in street without headscarf? NO, and who wear headscarf in Turkey them mentality same like other countries headscarf rules.

Well, I'm not sure if Tunisia deserves to be labeled as an Arabic country or not, we have mixes of Arabs, Persians, Europeans, Moors and Turks (like me) roots here, thus there is a diversity in culture. You can see it in language, food, customs, dresses etc.

I understand that it is not (solely) about culture but about politics, same here in Tunisia, or at least, we're going in that path (unfortunately).

Okay I understand (at least I think I do) but this is normal imo. Man, Tunisia is such a tiny country, and if you go with the same clothes to two different cities that are 20km away from each other, you'll get different reactions i'm telling you. Same thing when it comes to the mentality of people living in the capital/coast and the rest of the country. Let alone a country as big as Turkey which has one part in Europe. How don't you expect such "clash"? This is normal. It's not related to religion, it's related to culture, education, socio-economic class, mentality and how people were raised and all these factors that shape one's opinion.

Anyways, just my two cents here. and btw, Istanbul is such a lovely place that i'll definitely visit again as soon as possible.

wow this girl is quite dogmatic. Why is she so concerned about whether or not these women show their religious affinity or not just by wearing the headscarf. Everyone wears what they see fit and what they like, why don't we start saying "I don't want to know what's your favorite color, so don't wear this tshirt that has your favorite color". or, why is she too showing her admiration to Che Guevara by wearing his tshirt?

Nobody pointed a gun at you and told you to wear the headscarf, you don't like it, don't wear it. Don't force others to not wear it.

EDIT: I was refering to the girl in this video.
Btw, I never heard of this incident that you mentioned, but seems like early 90s were full of religious scumheads in the entire muslim world, same thing happened in Algeria buy the FIS (the Islamist party) and here in Tunisia by Ennahda (who now won the elections lol)
