Dont they know that God doesnt care if they show their face or whatever. He just cares that you know that Jesus died on the cross for the forgivness of our sins and he was risen and , ect. Or is it more of a culture thing for them, because I have seen them at Six flags wearing those things covering their whole body and they looked really hot. I dont see the men having to wear anything or cover themselves.

They are oppressed. Just cause men can't control themselves.

What ur asking is about Hijab
Various Islamic scholars have interpreted the meaning of hijab in different ways.
Although certain general standards are widely accepted, there has been little interest in narrowly prescribing what constitutes modest dress for Muslim men. Most mainstream scholars say that men should cover themselves from the navel to the knees; a minority say that the hadith that are held to require this are weak and possibly inauthentic. They argue that there are hadith indicating that the Islamic prophet Muħammad wore loose clothing that uncovered his thigh when riding camels, and hold that if Muħammad believed that this was permissible, then it is surely permissible for other Muslim males.
As a practical matter, however, the opinion that Muslim men must cover themselves between the navel and the knees is predominant, and most Muslims believe that a man who fails to observe this requirement during salat must perform the prayer again, properly covered, in order for it to be valid. Three of the four madhabs, or schools of law, require that the knees be covered; the Maliki school recommends but does not require knee covering.
More detailed scholarly attention has been focused on prescribing female dress. Most scholars agree that the basic requirements are that when in the presence of someone of the opposite sex other than a close family member (mahram), a woman should cover her body, and walk and dress in a way which does not draw sexual attention to her. Some scholars go so far as specify exactly which areas of the body must be covered. In many cases, this is everything save the face and hands. A minority view requires everything save the eyes to be covered.
A Turkish woman in a headscarf (khimar)In the presence of mahrams, a woman should at least cover her sexual organs. In private, in the presence of her husband, there are no absolute requirements for coverage. However, some teachers say that modest behavior is preferable even in private [5]. Other Muslims stress the mutual freedom and pleasure of the husband and wife
Out of all the above i would like to say you something that, U never into the hijab and your words are just ur thinking how its being u know just see a three far away from it and saying its not a the fruit of it not good. please come into it and tell you expereince.

All of these answers are wrongo! The covering is called a "hijab." It is worn out of respect. Most Muslims are very conservative. My next door neighbors are Pakistani Muslims, and their daughters hang out with me all the time. They are funny, confident and strong women. Yes, they choose to cover up, because that is their culture. Just like it is our culture to dress the way we do (i.e. free spirited and wild). I have learned so much from them, as they have learned from me. And, when I visit their home, I wear a "hijab" they gave me as a gift over my shoulders out of respect. I firmly believe that young Americans have this extreme level of apathy for others who they feel are not "like" them. Many live in this artificial bubble, and assume if it is not the American way, it is the wrong way. Therefore, under that hijab, is a mother, a sister, a friend, an educator, a hardworking person, just like all of us.

In the muslim faith, a lot of women wear the cloth covering their face to hide themselves from men other than their husbands. However, in these times, unless you are a strict Muslim, these head coverings are not required. In Turkey, for example, women aren't allowed to wear these if they are in a government building, like schools or official gov't buildings. More often than not, I believe, the coverings have become more of a culture issue, not a religious one. But on the religious side of the issue, they are mostly used to prevent men, other than their husbands, from noticing them. (sexually, I believe.)

The coverings on her head, around her face and covering the rest of her body are all a sign of modesty. It is thought that if another man (other than your husband) saw your face, hair, body that it would excite him and entice him to have his way with you.

The head covering is called a hijab. A burka is the head to toe black thing that the women in Afghanistan were forced to wear.
They don't have to wear them but most choose to. It's not a lot different than Christians deciding to dress modestly.
I personally wouldn't choose to wear something like that but it is their choice to do so.

For starters, they obviously have different beliefs than you do. Not everything is about God you know.
It's a culture thing, their husbands are the only males who can see them without it. (Oh and I suppose their immediate family).
Please don't stare at them, can you imagine how uncomfortable that would make them?

It's more culture-driven. Women are considered inferior to men, and aren't allowed to reveal themselves especially to men outside their families.
I believe the "things" are called burkas.
Of course, this is an awful answer, but it's what I remember from history.
