I find it very disheartening that our Muslim sisters in the United States are so loose in their values. I ask my brothers(no sisters, please), what can we do to stop this ? You all know what I mean- women who do not stay quiet in the Masjid(mosque). Women who dress like prostitutes and do not dress modestly. Sometimes I wish I were in Saudi Arabia or Iran where women know their place in the Ummah.
I mean no disrespect to my Muslim sisters out there. Some of you do know what submission is, and I thank you. For the rest of you, I pray that Allah will show you your failings.

how about the fact that in America women have just as many rights as men and they do not have to keep quiet and don't actually need to have a man take care of them.

I am American living in Egypt, society degrees by a large extent what women wear.
In the states there is alot more freedom, if a woman is in the masjid (and being their she must be covered) its alot better then being in a bar someplace so how do you find these indecent muslimas?. Also about talking, I went to a masjid in the states and felt very lonely as I do here as well.
In times past the Masjid was a place to gather worshippers and served as a public gathering place, its great if they do come together and share. Its a sense of community that keeps people coming back and not only prayer without contact. The lone sheep is excellent pray for the wolf.
This type of thinking only brings hate into the heart. Practice being forgiving and may God forgive you as you forgive others their shortcomings.
By the way, many women wearing naqab wear indecent clothing underneath, or come over from S.A and remove their outer garments, its not what is on the head but what is in the heart.
If you were a sheikh as you say then you would know the meaning of Dua'a and keeping your gaze lowered. Make Dikr and show some of Gods mercy.
There is a Hadith that says about the rib bone being curved if you tried to straigten it, it would break.
Also we are given free will that is God given, trying to force others to your point of view is taking what God has intended for us. Lead by example and teach your own children first.

Dressing modestly can only be judged according to the culture of a people. Women in Saudi Arabia, because of their Arabic culture will of course dress differently to an American Muslim woman. Submission means more than wearing a long, face-covering garb in 100 degree weather.
I have never seen a Muslim woman in the US dress like a prostitute. Sorry.

I know you said that you preferred men to answer this question but I think you are misinformed. There are good Muslims and bad Muslims in every country. In Muslim countries, there are more Muslims and they have more freedom. In USA, some Muslim women feel unsafe especially with the way media is playing with the minds of the people here.
I'm pretty sure there are good Muslims in USA too. Even Allah forgives minor sins like talking in the mosque and by the way, men do it too.

I hate the fact that there's people that followed faith so blindling such as yourself.... My angry side and you are suppose to be one of the soft ones as far as islam is concerned, i can only imagaine what they crazy ones think about ehh Mr. Estes
Then again islam is 400 some years younger than anything else out there so maybe they act as puritans did back in the 1600s,
oh my you are showing your ankle again, you s l u t.
I really hope this is the why they act in such way!
Submission, man you are funny, i have a western friend married a muslim man, boy did it not end well, for both sides.

Pray as well that he will show you your failings. Perhaps it is a failing of yours that the women in your life don't know their place in Ummah.
