About this lecture

In this lecture, the speaker explores the Islamic concept of hijab through the lens of modern social science, citing multiple university studies showing that Western society has conditioned people — including women themselves — to perceive women as objects rather than persons. He traces this objectification back to Biblical theology, the doctrine of celibacy, and Western cultural history, arguing that the sexual revolution created contradictions that persist in how the West views Muslim women today. The central message is that hijab is not oppression but liberation — freeing women from being reduced to sexual objects and allowing them to be recognized as full human beings.
