u people are against the veil of muslim womens.now if u have an open mind then i a 100% sure u will agree with me.
in QURAN in SURAH NOOR(32,34) it is said that
"say to the muslim womens do keep their eyes downward.and protect themselves"
if this universe is the eye then the women is its sight similarly if women is the flower then women is its fragrance.if the flower will not protect it self then how much its fragrance will left?ALLAH is our creator and has HIKMAT in every thing he says or creats.
if a women covers her self she feels her self prtectedfrom all sides .if a women covers her self then nobody can even think bad of herself b/c by covering herself there occurs a great difference in her character.not only in islam see hazrat MARIYAM(A.S) in churces she is covered.if covering the body is such a bad thing in ur eyes then y there is a rule to cover her MUJASIMA.so its mean that not only in islam but in all religions veil is present there in some case.

I'm not against the wearing of veils either.

I don't think your argument holds water though, even in the few places where it has some coherence. I suspect the problem might be that English is not your native language...is that correct? You might try separating your sentences more clearly, so that each statement in your argument stands out better. I also suspect you're going to need to define terms like "HIKMAT" and "MUJASIMA" if you're talking to people who are "against the veil of muslim womens".

Don't listen to the people who call you retarded. It's not you. It's the books you read. It's your difficulty with the English language. Now my question is are you a man or a women? Most people in the world will always be against all forms of forced behavior especially when it is prejudice to one gender or another. Your theories about how a women will feel are all limited to people who have not grown up free of cults and religions. Even the cult of Christianity used to dictate what women wear several decades ago and in some dangerous fundaMENTAL Christian areas they still use dress codes. In fact all primitives use force to make people conditioned for power and for the eventual slaughter. That was a metaphor. Being slaughtered and losing your freedoms have the same meaning. Hope this helps but I really didn’t understand the question at all.

I always have a open mind to someone's questions, But I also know when to close my mind from unbelieve. Now you really ask sevearal questions here, First of all the quran was wriitten way after the Bible, & no where in the Bible does it say a woman have to look downward, Now you bring up the topic about a woman being a flower, & said that flower has to protect itself, how much fragrance will be left. Did you know if a flower is completly cover up or even let's say 90% cover up, that flower will die, I know here in the USA, we have flowers that every morning open up their petals to welcome the sunlight, & close their petals at sunset. & we also have flowers that if it gets too hot will close their petals to protect themself from too much light that can kill them. Now onto your muslim women, We here in the USA don't treat our women this way, they are our help mate no not a slave, but a help mate & companion. A true Man will not down grade their women as you all do. Remember she is taken from Adam.

In surah Al -Noor it is also said that a man should cast his eyes downward and protect themselves from being sexually indecent. I am parapharsing, but it seems that what is sauce for goose is also sauce for gander.

There are Muslim men who wear veil among the Berber. Some of Moors of years in the past the men wore veils. Gaurding the individual chasity is internal and personal.

Wearing the physical veil of clothes covering guaruntees nothing. The "veil" being referred to as the protection is figurative and reprsents the control of our behaviour. Just because one is naked does not make one promiscious, as one who is fully clothe is not necessarily chaste. Guarding ones chasity is internal to the individual. Even the Chasity Belts of old were breached!

The verses are an appeal for self-control.

I think the veils are fine if the women want to wear them. However, if they are forced to wear them, that is a different story. I don't want to hear about the fragrance of a flower, when the beauty of the flower must be veiled! It sounds as though you believe that when an unveiled woman is raped, it must be her fault for showing herself! If so, I must disagree! A man who would rape a woman knows what is under the veil, whether it is visible or not! And I know for fact that women with veils on HAVE been raped!

I understand the reason, i appreciate your right to do this if one chooses. however, i do not want to wear a veil. I did not grow up this way, do not choose to convert to this style or religion. however, i do not judge anyone who wishes to do so, i respect anyone and everyone decisions and choices as their right to choose. Live and let live, that is what makes this country such a wonderful place to be. If this works for you and you are happy with it, that is wonderful and OK i personally do not judge others by their choice of religious beliefs, style of dress, life style etc. If you like it i love it. I try very hard to respect everyone, i wish you the best, have a wonderful day and God or Allah bless you. My belief is everyone desires and deserves respect. Just my opinion. By the way, I am a christian woman and my best friend of 25 years follows Islam.

The veil is by no means unique to Islam, as can be seen from the Bible.

"Then Rebekah and her servants mounted the camels and left with Abraham’s servant. Meanwhile, Isaac, whose home was in the Negev, had returned from Beer-lahairoi. One evening as he was taking a walk out in the fields, meditating, he looked up and saw the camels coming. When Rebekah looked up and saw Isaac, she quickly dismounted. “Who is that man walking through the fields to meet us?” she asked the servant.
And he replied, “It is my master.” So Rebekah covered her face with her veil" (Genesis 24:61- 65).

In the Song of Solomon the young woman is beaten as a whore for going out at night to search for her lover WITHOUT WEARING A VEIL.

This was not only an Old Testament injunction, but is also repeated in the New Testament. "But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved. For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered" (1 Corinthians 11:5f)

Some people take this to mean that .women should wear hats to go to church, but this is plain wrong. The covering referred to totally covered the hair as well as the nose and mouth. According to the customs of the time this was always worn in public and also in the presence of men who were not closely related.

I have no problems with women wearing veils today - it should be their choice based on what their individual consciences believe is right.

There is nothing wrong with being modest or dressing to preserve modesty but a woman shouldn't have to cover themselves completely from head to toe or have downcast eyes for protection from men's lustful gazes. These types of men should practice self control over their desires instead of blaming women for tempting them.

I have never heard any one say anything negative towards muslim women's dress. in fact most women I know or hear speaking on this subject feel kind of sorry for them in this heat in Florida.We as women respect muslim women as we women respect all women.It's the men we fear.We don't feel sorry in a negative way and maybe I am using rhe wrong word,but we have nothing bad to say to our muslim sisters.

In Iran girls are wearing jeans and short mantos that are very fashionable with pretty thin coulerful scarves that let their hair fly out (I don't like that way of wearing scarves they should respect Islam).and they put on too much make up.How beautiful they are. what niqab?which country are you talking about?they are much more beautiful than American models and their beauty is natural.some tend to wear black because it's more formal than for example pink!In Iran some girls wear evey colur such as pink,purple,light green,yellow,orange but black is heavier than all of them.I like black colour too. veils cos women not to be looked at as sex-objects.
