Two couples sitting on benches talking at what appears to be a city park in Amman, Jordan. The couples are both dressed very traditionally for the Middle East; the women are both dressed very conservatively with head scarves. The woman on the right is dressed in the more old-fashioned long dress, while the woman on the left is more modern wearing pants and a shirt, both of them however are wearing open-toed shoes which is not very common with women who wear head dresses.

This is a very interesting image of two women in the city of Amann Jordan. I do not wish to make rush generalisation about this picture I am just assuming that these woment are muslims and having a chat with men who appear to be their partners.

The interesting thing I found on this was that many people do not see muslim women(taking that these are muslim women)as having the liberty to talk to men in public.

The image people present on Islam regarding women is so bad that people reduce women to oppressed people who do not have nothing close to the freedom to talk to others in public.

This is especially true of middle eastern women.

Very nice image, good job.

I really like this picture that you posted. I think this picture shows how humans are so fortunate to be able to change and develop into great minds and become more tolerant but still keep their culture and religion, which makes everyone different. I also your unique style in the way you have a theme for your blog. I always like to check out your blog and read your thoughts because you introduce me to a new way of thinking. Keep up the good work girl.
