How do you perceive the Muslim women? no stupid answers?

Question

Why do they cover themselves? If you’re a male would you prefer your woman to show her skin or cover herself when she is outside? Do you like it when other men look at your wife or girlfriend? for females do you like it when other men insult you because of what you wear?

Answer 1

I am a Muslim, but I used to not wear the head covering(hijab) and used to wear what ever I pleased was fashionable. But what fashion and the media put out is more skin is in which is very wrong especially for the American girls with low self esteem and want to "fit in". I heard a lecture that was discussing why women should wear the head covering. Because women are like a jewel high from reach, only a man that will take the effort in marring this woman can see the beauty of the jewel. Also Muslim women wear the head covering for the same reasons why Mary, Prophet Jesus mother wore it. It gives a woman more dignity and respect. I also wanted to mention that Christian women and Jewish women also wore the head covering but have taken it off through the years. Also Muslim women are not forced to wear what they wear, I chose this type of clothing because it covers the beauty of the hair, breasts and bust, and doesn't allow women to be some eye candy that's low and filthy. Muslim women are not obliged to wear the burka in Islam, so what you here in the media especially CNN is false!!

Answer 2

Its a tradition, no longer a faith that offers this thought. And in truth, its in most cases the fact that Muslim ladies are reserved, timid, and so on. Its the CULTURE, no longer the faith itself. In above all Muslim nations, even Christians have a tendency to have this angle/lifestyle. As the gf of a Paki Muslim, I am confronted with the venture of a dominating guy, and as an overly outspoken and cussed lady I have got to allow my protect down slightly for any risk of this understanding. Muslim guys have a tendency to wish to care for the ladies, however in conjunction with that care comes manage. And no longer always unhealthy manage, but when hes paying the costs, you're no longer allowed to head be a stripper. Put it that means. And as a feminine due to the fact that changing to Islam, I do comprehend that there are matters involving ladies which are tough to swallow, and I am no longer definite if its for me. We'll see. Good success to you, simply do not be naive. It is an additional tradition and if and whilst you meet your Muslim prince captivating, I desire that you're going to comprehend what you're entering. It would possibly or will not be a culture you'll honestly are living with. I wager you'll uncover out.

Answer 3

I perceive Muslim women as Muslim women. They cover themselves because they believe it is the right thing for them to do or else because they have no say in the matter. I have no problem if other men look at my wife. If she were not beautiful to look at, I probably wouldn't have looked either. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, if men insult you for what you wear, they aren't much of a man.

Answer 4

There is a myth that all Muslim women cover themselves. I have a step mother and a half sister who are Muslims and don't cover themselves. I'd go so far to say that most Muslim women don't cover themselves beyond a head covering.
There is a difference between Muslims a place like Malaysia and a place like Saudi Arabia. They are very different cultures with very different histories. They are linked because they are all Muslims but how they express their faith differs because they are different peoples.

Answer 5

Well, I have nothing against Muslim women. I do perceive them as docile and submissive. I'm an alpha female and would never cover up even if men looking at me upset my husband. He'd get over it. Besides, he's not that insecure to be jealous anyway. I want people to see my face when I'm talking to them. I've never had a man insult me for what I wear. But I don't dress scantily either. I wear jeans and t-shirts. Men tend to be very nice to me, and respectful. I only had one man disrespect me one time. Guess who ran for his life and never stepped into my presence again? I don't work well with males who think females are inferior. And those type of men are terrified of me.

Answer 6

There's a Sally Field movie I think called "Not My Daughter" and somewhere in that movie they say that they cover their hair because "each strand is like a dagger" . Maybe a muslim person could help clear that part up.
I think muslim women are facing the same things we face in North America-progressive thinkers and traditionsl thinkers, conformists and non-conformists, radical and free thinkers, etc, etc. They face the same human issues, war is in their homeland so as mother's they have entirely different worries. (yes our men are in the same war, but still it's not on our land).
I'm a conservative dresser-I don't get insulted for my clothing. But I think I can address the part of your question about being insulted for clothing by saying that as an Indigenous person to North America, I could probably be getting insults from racists about wearing a powwow dress to an office party or to the Sev (7-11) on the corner, because don't the traditions of the muslims say they are to be covered when they are out in public, and not so much at their residence.

Answer 7

I am married to a Muslim man and I live in his native country. I can tell you that the women here who cover (and not all do), do so by choice. My husband would love if I covered but respects my decision not to. I do, however, dress modestly, as I always have. Muslim women are not oppressed by their religion. Some are in fact oppressed by their country and its culture, but that is not encouraged or approved by Islam.

Answer 8

I view muslim woman as smart and beautiful, the ones in America atleast. Ahigh percentage go to the best colleges and become doctors. I think the ones over in the middle east are held down by their law.

Answer 9

They don't wear Jesus Christ and his cross anyway...

They share the same man..those who are two wives and one man or 3, or 4 wives and one man...


it is worst then here when you are cheated...So I really don't understand why do they cover themselves...If a man has a wife..and love her...just only one love..onle wife..it would be a must to be covered..you are afraid that your wife could be taken...by another man...Or ..I understand that a woman cover herself and doesn't want to show her body and led into temptations other man then her husband ...but 1-4 women married to the same man...Actually ..it is like they are naked..in the eyes of God..doing such things...But we are here Christian culture..discusing...

here a woman can hope his husband shall return to God..and won't sleep with other women....and become faithfull..or at least ...hope her daughter will find a better man and be happy..

or a cheated man can hope he will find a girl that won't sleep with other men..

But there...this big sin in Christianity...there ... is a moral law....in church and state...

Jesus! And who can fall in love with a man that already is having 1 wife or two or three? I can't...

Answer 10

they cover themselves because it is proper guys like girls with nice hair great body and if they cover themselves the guys wont notice them and i am sure the male Muslims would want them to cover there skin wen she is outside and I'm sure like everyone else im sure they don't like other people lokking at ur wife and and for females no one ever insulted me then except this one time i didn't do anything they looked at me and said go back to ur country u terrorist although i did nothing but i don't care wat people think cause i could do whatever i want in my life it is no ones business
