Also after reading the comments I think the last comment here is right on the dot. Hijjab is Fard and the choice is heaven or hell. Religion is a choice. This ability to make choices is what’s determines our life in the hereafter.

Also we need to remember that Islam isn’t just located in Arabia- south east Asia has the largest Muslim population of Muslims in the world : 250million. And they are not at war.

Being a Christian like you (or are you a pagan?), let me correct you: The truth is that the Muslims dress in more respectable, responsible and Godly ways than the average modern Christian. The so-called Islamic dresses are actually modes of dress prescribes by the Holy Bible as well. Therefore to say ‘Islamic’ dress is primitive is to say (original) Christianity is primitive; to say modesty in women (and men) clothing is backwardness is to associate Christianity with backwardness. Please Mr. BUTTERFLY don’t confuse Christianity with Westianity. Have you ever observed that there are more sexual promiscuities in typical Christian community than in a typical Muslim community? Have you ever noticed that there are more HIV/AIDS victims among the Christians than among the Muslims? This is a price of Western lustful liberties. One of the ways Muslims impress me is their ability to dress the way God wants as against our (Christians) rebellion against God with regards to dressing.

In terms of morality in dress and attitude, we the Christians need correction rather than Muslims. We are too ‘natural’ about our dress and attitude towards opposite sex. Science and technology have jointly made us much less moral than Muslims in dress and attitude opposite sex. In many cases we are essentially nominal believers in God and religion as against our Muslim counterparts.

Western Church has drifted far away from Christ/Apostles’ original teachings and practices and the lustful and prurient West is exporting the ‘modern’ Christianity to us here. Such is the case that we are in a chaotic situation; vulnerable irrationalism is trying to replace the unifying and intelligent Biblical teachings, making us objects of ridicule/insult by even the gentiles.

Church, originally meant for prayer/edification, is turning into a place for hypocritical-spiritualism, joke-music and ladies’ sexy shows. In fact, even men not having exemplary families are allowed to be or continue as Pastors of Churches. This has made dirty things like gays to think that they too have the rights to be Clergies even though the Holy Bible is obviously against sodomy and gays.

Male many Christian males are alcoholic, our ladies degrade our faith by giving the gentiles impression that it (Christianity) is an indiscipline religion; due to their (our ladies) sexy dresses and lustful attitude towards men (both Christians and gentiles).

The problem is not infrequency of the teaching but the concepts; especially that of the ‘Grace’ –how it is ‘helenistically’ and ‘Romanly’ interpreted, which makes Church teachings generally silly and spiritually ineffectual. For instance, while it takes a Muslim very small efforts to win a Christian lady who is sufficiently exposed to (modern) Church teachings, it is extremely difficult for a Christian to win a Muslim lady, who is normally not well exposed to Mosque or Islamic teaching; the little a Muslim lady knows of Islam makes her more glued to her faith than Churchy Christian counterpart. All these are as a result of the lustful liberty given women and youths in the West. We must emulate Muslims in these regards.

Its fine if someone wants to wear a hijab – but its highly unacceptable if that is because of social or cultural pressures.?????????

Well brother Tarek of course if a muslimah wears a “t-shirt on a hot day” she is loose!!what’s up with that??? The Prophet swa said “there will come a time when the women of my ummah will be dressed yet naked…AND he said CURSE THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE CURSED they will be dwellers of the hell fire, so if the prophet swa said to curse them and Allah subhaa wa ta Allah said that on the day of judgment he wont even look at the dayous (thats the father,brother,son…)who left his women flock go out in public without their hijab proplerly covered, flaunting themselves outside, the least to say is who cares about what you think or what people think concerning “social pressure and patriarchal blablablabla ITS HIS DUTY as a father to make shure that his women wear the HIJAB THAT ALLAH COMMANDED in the Qu’ran so basically you are talking RRRRRUBBBBBISHHHHH. And of course the west wants us to remove our hijab they have been trying to remove it from our back for the past hundreds of years they succeded i have to say quite a lot with colonisation, they first made the women remove their nikab in places like Egypt,algeria.Morroco,Tunisia Asia and not known of the public East Europe in places such as albania,chechnya….

Right on!
