Mathew 5 says Jesus said: 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
So I guess the Muslim men's answer was: "Okey so we just cover the women from head to toes, even in the heat of the day; and keep them apart. So "us men" will not commit such horrible sin"!

Hey nobody be angry, I do not find any other way to figure that out.
About women who want to do it, it is not difficult once they grow up doing it.

WOW! Jonny Mick, your concept is one that deserves attention and study! I will do just that!
Remembers me the concept that Where there definition of the law, there is condemnation. While that one who does not know right from wrong carries not guilt.
Could that perhaps be the final goal?, but then that would stop our traditional definition of love between man and woman. I think we still have a lot to study and learn.
The fact that a what a woman most cover all her body still incompehensible to me considering they say Allah is the most merciful.

pretty flower, Why do you get angry! God can not be judged, but Why not religions?. If you are a pretty flower, Why not to show yourself? There are some muslim women who even wear a mask!

allah and jesus are 2 different diety's/people and should not be spoken of as one in the same.
the doctrine of faith for the islamic religion (the qur'an) teaches that violence in the name of the islamic religion against all who oppose it is valid and will be rewarded (although not all muslims follow this-you dont see every muslim out there blowing up non muslims, although according to islam it is the greatest thing one can do).
the doctrine of faith for the christian religion (the bible) teaches that violence is not the answer if avoidable-and generally teaches peace with your fellow man no matter what set of beliefs he/her chooses (although not all christians follow this-look at the crusades and all the violence and death that christians have caused).
the point is no one knows beyond the shadow of a doubt who is right and who is wrong, although we all feel differently about such things at this point in time there is no definite answer to such questions so we all are just functioning off of our beliefs which have been passed down by the beliefs of others. and about the whole covering up thing specifically, most mainstream religions state that sex before marriage/lust is bad, but look at human physiology, men's bodies produce hormones that pretty much tell them to breed as much as possible and women put off pheromones that promote men to be that way, while our religion tells us that is wrong. now why would the almighty creator (whoever he may be) design us with the constant desire to breed and then tell us that is it unacceptable unless done on certain terms (marriage, & such), while also telling us that marriage is sacred so that we must be sure about our partner because that is who we are stuck with for the rest of our natural/eternal lives? men are designed with the desire to breed constantly and women are designed to coincide with that, but our religions tell us that is is bad unless we are married but that if we marry it is to be for eternity. our religions cause us to marry a lot of the time because of convenience and to make sex "appropriate", but we in turn are defiling the concept of marriage because it is supposed to last for eternity. honestly what angers god more? what a conundrum

Personally I do not believe GOD,ALLAH,BUDDHA whoever is out there would waste their time worrrying about covering women up, i do understand the philosophy behind lust of someone else.s partner but that is never going to change, it means basically do not do it as it is wrong, the covering of women in the Islalmic world is from men, they dominate that world and believe no other men can look at their property, if people want to cheat, fornicate etc, they will find a way to do it whatever they are wearing, the whole point is You should not!

No the Quran states that man should lower his eyes and not look. Also consider that the clothes that the women wore came from the Arabian desert where is doesn't reach below 30 degrees. So if its okay for them in that heat then its okay for anyone else. Also note that covering oneself in sunlight actually protects skin from aging and any damage that the sun may cause.
What Jesus (upon him peace) spoke about was the spiritual side not the legal side of the religion. In fact one the senior companions came to another called Uthman who saw him and said, "Someone has committed adultery with his eyes."
We have the law and the spiritual as part of a whole package in Islam.
You know for every question we have an answer so keep asking!

You look at me and call me oppressed,
Simply because of the way I'm dressed,
You know me not for what's inside,
You judge the clothing I wear with pride,
My body's not for your eyes to hold,
You must speak to my mind, not my feminine mold,
I'm an individual, I'm no mans slave,
It's Allah's pleasure that I only crave,
I have a voice so I will be heard,
For in my heart I carry His word,
"O ye women, wrap close your cloak,
So you won't be bothered by ignorant folk",
Man doesn't tell me to dress this way,
It's a Law from God that I obey,
Oppressed is something I'm truly NOT,
For liberation is what I've got,
It was given to me many years ago,
With the right to prosper, the right to grow,
I can climb mountains or cross the seas,
Expand my mind in all degrees,
For God Himself gave us LIB-ER-TY,
When He sent Islam,
To You and Me!

Bismillahi Al Rahman Al Raheem Ouzibillahi Mina shytan Al Rajeem Bismillahi Al Rahman Al Raheem WE FOUND THE ROTTEN FRUIT, ITS NOT THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOKS. IT IS THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN ANYTHING! Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name. (1 Chronicles 29:11-13 NASB) You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor figs from thistles, are they? Even so, every good tree bears fruit; but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits. (Matthew 7:16-20) Other areas of interest are: John 15:8, "By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples." Galatians 5:22-23 tells us that "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control." "A smile can echo for eternity, We Praise him" The only ones on the list now are those who don't believe in God that come into Ramadan section hating. Once we are done cleaning up in there, we are coming in here. If you have running shoes put them on! LOLOL! Salam I ask your forgiveness as it was very long time to find out who did what. I beg your forgiveness and humble myself and will help those of the books from now on... here is your proof we are one! 2:62. Verily! Those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in Allâh and the Last Day and do righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. 2:63. And (O Children of Israel, remember) when We took your covenant and We raised above you the Mount (saying): "Hold fast to that which We have given you, and remember that which is therein so that you may become Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2). Bismillahi Al Rahman Al Raheem Ouzibillahi Mina shytan Al Rajeem Bismillahi Al Rahman Al Raheem You want to see who they are, ask them to say Thank God, they can't! Salam Alaikum = Peace unto you

Why are you quoting a Bible to question an Islamic tradition?
I'm not Islamic, so I don't know why they do it. However, I think our early Judeo and Christian women also wore head coverings. In fact, many nuns of today still wear habits, a head covering. Also, some catholic women wear veils when inside a church. It's not only the Muslim's who wear head coverings, but many other religions still do because of their faith.

Um...Don't confuse costume and dogma.
Islam only requires a woman hair be covered during prayer 5 times a day so men can focus. It's the men's weakness not the women's.
The shrouds are light and do protect from the sun. It's the same material that covers the Ka'aba.
Mohammad actually improved conditions immensely for women in his time, Muslim women in his day had more rights than a woman in 19th century America.
You should do more homework!

Allah expects women to pay for the sin that man commits.
Jesus expects people to control themselves, take responsibility for their own thoughts and actions.
More proof Allah is not God.

Jesus was just telling it like it is. He was not offering a solution to the issue like the Muslims did. It was their quest to try and solve the issue and it was not an issue till Jesus brought it up.
