Because I don't understand why some people have an issue with women wearing a veil. If you don't like it then don't wear it, but why do you care if she does? Why so much hatred over a veil, or is it not the veil but Islam. Thats the only conclusion I can come up with. These people who have a problem with a women in a veil would have the same problem with her if she was not wearing it because she is Muslim.

To many people, the Muslim veil represents a form of female oppression.
I don't think anyone has any problem with someone that chooses to wear a veil. It's not hatred against Muslim. It's hatred for what we feel is the poor treatment of women.
I know most non Muslims and especially Americans know very little about the Muslim community and/or religion. Maybe you could help educate me?
Why should one of allah's/god's/or anyone's creatures ever have to be hidden behind a veil?
Why do Muslim women wear veils while Muslim men do not?
Do Muslims feel their men hold more value and ability than their women?
Why do we hear stories of Muslim women being raped and tortured for showing their face?
Why do some sects of Muslim not allow women to be educated or even learn to read?
These questions are the first to come to mind. This shows you how much I know about Muslim. I'd most certainly would think differently if I knew more. So I choose to make no judgements at this point in my life.
The problem is: Muslims, Christians, Hindu's, etc don't know enough about eachothers religion to promote religious tolerance. And as humans, we fear that which we do not know.
Good Luck
I like your cause.

I don't hate the people but hate Islam as a religion because it's based on hate non Muslims.
Islam made them only love each other and hate the rest.
Islam Made Woman lower than man. ( in Islam man can have 4 wives at the same time)
and why women should wear veil? is it to stop men looking at them? why don't Muslims men cover their eyes instead?
I feel sorry for Muslims women.
p.s most of them have been forced by their parents or husband to wear veil.

I don't hate either her veil or her religion, although I don't find Islam to be particularly attractive. If a woman wears a veil, she either is doing what she believes in, or doing what she is intimidated into doing. I always hope it is the first, otherwise she must be a very unhappy person.
I would find it more difficult to talk with a woman in a veil, simply because I like to watch a person's face when I am conversing with them.
Other than that, her veil doesn't bother me at all. It's her business.

I think people being proud of their religion and beliefs is a beautiful thing. I hope, when i see women like that, that it is their decision and not something forced on them. If it something that they don't want to do then they shouldn't have to. I'm a Christian and I don't wear short shorts or revealing shirts even though a lot of girls think that its OK. I think that modesty is important when someone is religious because people are always trying to find fault with you. I think that them wearing their coverings is the same, they just feel the need to cover more. God Bless

Oh my God! This is such a ludicrous false dilemma, it's almost amusing.
The veil is just a Visible symbol of oppression and misogyny. People are fed up with Islam because of its mission statement of genocide and hate.
The absence of good muslims visibly taking a stand against the fascists of their faith only serves to further alienate Islam from the Western world.
Normal people can only be expected to react negatively to symbols of hate and oppression - veils and burkas, etc.

I personally have no problems with you or anyone else wearing a veil. I don't personally agree with the Muslim religion, but I wouldn't say I hate it. I am Presbyterian and we simply believe different things. So, you go ahead and keep doing what your doing and anyone who hates you for a veil or even your religion doesn't matter. All those who do matter wont care.

I think it's both brother. They hate women in veils because they are being "oppressed" and they think that women need to be "liberated" from a "barabiac" society. And they just think all Muslims are terrorists who go around with hidden bombs who want to kill everyone.

I don't need to see a veiled woman to hate Islam. That said, I bear no resentment towards an Islamic woman for wearing a veil...so long as she does not expect me NOT to treat her differently (ie negatively) should an interaction take place.

I don't have a problem with the woman or the veil. I have a problem with any religion that would force a woman to wear that veil upon punishment of being beaten to death if she is seen outside of her home without it! Any culture that not only enforces that kind of religious devotion but encourages people to behave that way is wrong!

Hate is a strong word.....people don't like different. People tend to want conformity with in the worlds system and idea of thinking.Take Pentecostals that wear dresses and live a holy life.People tend to look at them in judgment. Why???Because they are different and in the worlds terms that is not good. But being different is what makes a person and sets them apart from the social norms of society.....God bless and hope this helps.
