6. Mulim Dress
Mohammad ,   Chicago, IL   (04.17.10)
This Muslim dress code is out of respect and modesty. We firmly believe a woman must be covered from head to toe. After all, women should neither be seen nor heard. All three of my wives are dressed modestly in a burka. Very shortly, Inshallah, I will have a fourth wife who will also join the other three in our kitchen. By the Grace of the Almighty we are allowed 4 wives in this world, and many many more in the next. Our modesty in this world ensures our status in the next world.

8. no basis for dress code in Islam, but after Jews & pagans
observer   (04.17.10)
Muslim women have to dress modestly and that modesty has two aspects: not so tight to express details of the body, not transparent to show what is beneath. Covering the face is not Islamic; just inherited tradition (meaning regional cultural, not according to Hadith). In the holiest place, Haram of Mekkah, women are prohibited from covering face and that prohibition logically has to be observed outside the Haram. As for head hair covering, majority of scholars advocate that, but even those say that when necessary women can uncover hair. Color of the dress is not fixed as long as it is not vulgar. Shikh of Alazhar, the the greatest scholar body in Egypt, said that Muslims living in France should abide by the rules of France; case closed!
9. Burqa NOT REQUIRED by Islam
ben yaacov ,   herzliyah il   (04.18.10)
There is no such Islamic requirement to bundle woman up like that. Witer and others are conflating tradition with Religion. Just like there is no Jewish requirement Jew wear a Stramel. It is an expression of extremism and adherence to form not substance.
10. #5 , yup - they should be sent back home to israel
kuhl blitz ,   Doha / Chennai   (04.18.10)
When Tiberius annexed Jewish homeland into roman empire, jews moved away to the periphery (now moderny europe). And then, Arabs started moving in for 500 years because it was vacant. So, it is their home.. Something like a guy sold the house and after eras, he comes back and claim it is his and further uses brutal force to take it. How insane? Yes #5, i agree with you - they should be sent back home to Israel
11. no need to cover yourselves, I demand people
ghostq   (04.18.10)
in euroupe to be like Europenes and to take their shirt off.
12. Studies in the US show those who want to...
Persian CAT ,   USA   (04.18.10)
ban the Islamic head covers for women are more likely to express anti-Jewish tendencies too. They love to do to the Muslims what they did to the Jews. The problem is they Muslims can stick it to them, and they will.
13. #10 is a historical revisionist!!! Lies, lies, lies! (end)

you are an American? Wow- I bet you talk like this in Chicago- or just in Jewish TB to make yourself sound important? You are a Neanderthal, your religion is from the Middle Ages- in the next life you are getting a 72 year old toothless virgin? Good for you! In the West we do not practice polygamy, women are respected members of society not chattels that are wrapped in bedsheets- wake up Mohammed- men have character- they don't get the hots for every woman on the street- modest indeed- I see your ilk in nightclubs where there are almost naked women-- We don't need your advice, we don't care what your 'prophet' said- he had the same mental capacity you do, unfortunately.
