Samah Ahmad has no fear. Devout Muslim, is defined as a rebel by nature. But where will she go can to contain the offensive Islamist group Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip. "What we do for religion by personal choice should be ours, not because we impose," he says. It is one of 67 Palestinian women were enrolled to participate in a marathon that was to take place on April 10 in Gaza. "Hamas forbade us involve women and the organizers canceled the marathon," he says. "It's incredible. Hamas someone comes to tell me where in the Quran or in Palestinian law says that a woman can not participate in a marathon. "
The news of the cancellation of the marathon spread throughout the world's media, causing outrage in the West. In the strip, however, was just a story in a long series of grievances to the independence of women Gazans. The very Samah Ahmad, who is 32, has the scars to prove it. She was stabbed in March, at a rally for Palestinian reunification. "First they attacked me with a knife, then I stopped for hours while bleeding," he says. "I saw who it was, one of the officers of the Government, in uniform," he adds. "So we protect those in power in Gaza."
The Islamist organization freedoms as running marathons cuts
Not that Samah is someone radically secular. Take veil. "Because I want to," he says. Made in 2007 the pilgrimage to Mecca. Then tried to wear clothing consistent with a strict interpretation of the Koran: long garments and straight lines. When he returned, after Hamas had won the Palestinian legislative elections, the Gaza Strip was the scene of a war between the Islamist group and the secular Fatah West Bank would be expelled within weeks. "Then, in the streets began to say that the police were enforcing the use of the hijab and I decided to dress as now, with shirt and pants. And I did it because I believe in God, but because I want to, not because someone tells me I have to. "
The problem is when their creed is not Hamas. They live in Gaza about 3,000 Orthodox Christians. Their religion does not demand the veil, which can make the simple act of walking down the street an ordeal in itself. Noha Suri, Secretary, 28, seeks the company of a male relative when going shopping or go to a restaurant. No such protection has always male. One day I went to a cafe downtown Gaza City, a man who passed her insulted and planted an ice cream on the face and clothing, accusing her of irreverence.
The Christian also under pressure to take hijab
"They want to impose the veil on all women, although we are not Muslim," he says. "They know that I am a Christian, and assume that I must be Muslim because I live here. It is common. When I meet a man down the street I hear comments, tell me I do not mind God, I have no fear of what will happen in the final days and the like, "he adds. Noha believes that if he had veil, her life would be much easier in Gaza. "But in the end, this is not just about religion, it's about who I am. Does not seem right that someone can not live your life freely, "says the woman.
This great campaign of female freedoms cuts not only affect women. Adnan Barakat, hairdresser, 47, was arrested two years ago. The crime: women haircut. "That's all I can do, really. I've done it for 30 years, "he says. Speak in a warehouse that stores several blocks from her salon, which work only now his wife and two employees. "If female clients can only be there in other women. This is what Hamas calls "he says. When he was arrested he was made to sign a document that pledged not to set foot on their own property if there were clients.
And yet, Adnan was lucky. On two occasions, the owner of the salon in front of his explosive devices placed him at the door, which caused no injuries, but damage. "In the end they got their way. No man in Gaza at this time cutting women's hair, "he says. Some hairdressers Adnan did the same thing and left in their establishments only women. Other closed. "It's not just Hamas, many groups, such as the Salafists or jihadists, who want to change the laws of religion," he says. "They want to live in the Stone Age."
