The face veil pre-dates Islam

From wikipedia, repeat after me:


The face veil pre-dates Islam

The face veil pre-dates Islam

From wikipedia, the same article you cited, first paragraph, second sentence, repeat, three times:

It's very ironic and suspicious that the segment of text begins with:

The face veil pre-dates Islam, and had been used by certain Arabian pre-Islamic cultures.

Then it flies to a contradictory statement:

Culturally, it is "a custom imported from Najd, a region in Saudi Arabia and the power base of its Salafi fundamentalist form of Islam. Within Muslim countries it is very contested and considered fringe."[1][2]

How the hell does it predates Islam, but at the same time imported from Islamic region ?

The full statement is contradictory, either the first section of it is right, or the second section of it is right.
Choose.
But if we looked at the sources (by clicking on the numbers after the segment) we can understand why it's contradictory:

1. References1. Manea, Elham (27 August 2017). "Pauline Hanson's Senate stunt shows why we need to confront the ideology behind the burqa". The Sydney Morning Herald. Archived from the original on 24 March 2018. Retrieved 29 April 2018. 2. Abaya, Miss (19 December 2018). "Ultimate Abaya Guide – Everything You Ever Wanted To Know". Miss Abaya. Retrieved 19 December 2018.

So the source is literally taken from  a right-wing warrior called "Paulina Hanson":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauline_Hanson

The second source does not open.

So watch out. I'm assuming the reader is smart enough to know how to track sources in wikipedia, it's very fair; I advice you not to read for the likes of Pauline Hanson and invest your time on forums to distinguish what propaganda is

Is it a *choice* to adopt what somebody else telling you is a requirement?

Yes. Of course. It's called "adopting a cause"..just like Boris.
