ORIGINAL: freedomdwarf1 The point he is making is.... the women can't get to meet other women to admire their makeup without having their male escort to take them there and back. No, this whole original posts started with. He asked me incredulously that Muslim women wear make up? And asked me for citation that Muslim women wear make up. Then I said Saudi women wear make up, and show him an article that proves it. And he is saying that Saudi women do not wear make up infront of men or in public. But THEY DO wear make up in public. The make up is still on their face despite having a veil! That's wearing make up in public. And for gawd's sake. You can still see the make up on their eyes. Eye liner, eye shadow, lashes extensions. Saudi ain't Afghanistan after all. Their eyes are still there. And I can say from personal experience, that most of the Muslim women I've lived amongst have not been allowed to wear makeup by their husbands or family members. The wearing of makeup by many Muslims is considered provocative and not allowed. Exactly which branch of Islam they are, I cannot tell. But in Saudi, the Muslim Arabs are usually Aluwhites. I witnessed a female being flogged out of a mosque in Peterborough for wearing eye liner when she attended and she was physically shunned by her family for daring to wear it. The poor girl was whipped and physically man-handled out of the mosque doors and flung to the ground on the street. Many Muslim men spat on her on their way in. I don't remember seeing her after that incident. Some Muslim women around me here do wear some makeup - but very little.
