@ KUNJUFU :

MOST INTERESTING TOPIC YOU'VE STARTED MY BROTHA , THIS IS QUITE PERSONAL TO ME ONE BECUASE IAM A MUSLIM WOMEN AND TWOBECUASE I'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH SIMILIAR BARRIERS IN REGARDS TO MY HEAD COVERING ,THERE DEFINETLY HAS TO BE A FINE LINE DRAWN BETWEEN GOVERMENT AND FREEDOM TO PRACTICE RELIGIOUS BELIEVES.IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT THEY MAKE IT DIFFCULT TO PRAY ON THE JOB WHEN WE NEED TO AND NOW COVERING IS AN ISSUE .I AGREEWITH MISS X ,IT'S A DIRECT DISCRIMINATION OF OUR RIGHTS AS MUSLIM WOMEN TO FORBID US FROM COVERING, AND IF SUCH LAWS WERE TO BE PASSED I'D HATE TO OBSERVE WHERE THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO. AN INCIDENT OF THIS MAGNITUDE HAPPENED IN THE U.S. A FEW MONTHS AGO ALONG THE SAME LINES OF DISCUSSION , THE SISTA (MUSLIM WOMEN) WASSTOPPED BY POLICE AND ASKED TO UNCOVER I BELIEVE THIS WAS IN LOS ANGELOS, SHE WASASKED TO DO SO , SO THAT THE OFFICER MAY IDENTIFY HER WITH HER DRIVERS LICENSE AND SHEREFUSED TO UNCOVER BEFORE THIS MALE OFFICER AND SHE WAS DETAINEDAND LATER FINED AND TAKEN TO COURT IT WAS A BIG PRODUCTION ,IT SHED ALOT OF LIGHT ON ISLAM AND HOW SOCIETY VIEWS MUSLIM WOMEN AROUND THE WORLD TODAY......

@ KAREEM AND ORIGINALBM :

ALTHOUGH KAREEM THE QURAN DOESN'T DIRECTLY STATE THAT WE MUST COVER OUR HEADS BUT RATHER OUR BOSSOMS , IT ALSO STATES WE ARE TO DRESS MODESTY AS NOT TO BRING ATTENTION TO ONESELF AND THAT WE'RE TO GUARD OUR MODESTY AS WELL SO THAT WE WILL NOT BE LOOKED APON IN AN IMPROPER MANNER (MOLESTED) AS THE QURAN WORDS IT . SUCH THINGS THAT BRING ATTENTION TO SELF IS OUR HAIR , BOSSOMS , BODY FORM ETC. WE ARE SET APART BY ALLAH AS BELIEVEIN WOMEN AND THERE ABSOLUTELY MUST BE A CLAEAR DISTINCTION BETWEEN US AND OTHER WOMENAND THE HEADSCARF (BERKA) MAKES THAT DISINCTION ALONG WITH OUR ATITUDE AS BELIEVING WOMEN FURTHER MORE OUR BEAUTY IS RESERVED TO BEGAZED APON BY OUR HUSBANDS EXCULSIVELY , I DON'T PROPOSE KAREEM YOU'D DESIRE FOR A MAN TO LOOK APON YOUR WIFE IN A MANNER WHICH WAS INAPPORIATE IN ANY SHAPE FASHION OR FORM CORRECT ?. ORIGINALBM I THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT OF THIS , IT'S IMPERITIVE THAT WE RECIEVE THAT FROM OUR BROTHAS , ECSPECAILLY IN THE GENERATION OR TIMES THAT WE'RE LIVING IN TODAY. THIS TO ME IS JUST SATAN AND ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO PERSECUTE OR HINDER ISLAM AROUND THE WORLD . ALL PRAISES BE UNTO ALLAH AND MAY HE HAVE MERCY ON THOSE WHO HINDER.

KAREN.
