Islam teaches Inner Beauty….

A covered woman in Islam is a sign of purity and dignity. It highlights the Muslim woman as a pure, chaste woman and sets her apart from the immoral behavior associated with women who dress immodestly.
It is a sort of screen between the chaste Muslim woman and the evil that exists in this world. When a woman covers herself, she is less likely to be exploited for her beauty and femininity.
The cover cuts down on competition among women. How many people in the West sacrifice financial savings and health in order to have plastic surgery - in a desperate attempt to meet up to an unrealistic standard of beauty?
IN ISLAM, WOMEN ARE APPRECIATED FOR THEIR KNOWLEDGE, FAITHFULLNESS AND CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY

Islam teaches us that the most beautiful women are not necessarily the most popular. Rather, she is assessed for her mind, and not just her outer beauty…

well.
That is what I am against 100% about Islam.
My sister wears skirts for example.
According to what it is saying that she is immoral and not modest.

And I know, most of these strict muslims think the same way.

Then how can Islamic women and men can cry for sympathy when they are treating all other women, who are not like them, like prostitutes?

Annoying, primitive and intolerant!!

well..
Canli, I was thinking of Turkey and Turban struggle in Universities.
They are always trying to show that they are fighting for their basic rights of freedom and they were trying to cry for sympathy.

But, when you see that all these women and girls who are wearing Turban THINK and TREAT all other girls and women who dont dress like them, like prostitutes and then talk about freedom..
It is making me so cross and reminding me once more how intolerant they get.

and look at the wording up there:
immoral behavior associated with women who dress immodestly
That is what I am talking about..
The person who wrote that original post is a muslim and she/he thinks that women who are not dressed 'modestly' are immoral..
How dare anybody can say 'women who are not covered' are immoral?
But most of muslims think that way..dont you agree?

A covered Muslim in İslam is a sign for a woman who follow an order from ALLAH
A scarf,hijab,or even niqap,wont hide the woman from the world,so it would keep the evil world away from her
The woman who think that way,would be far naive than she may think
As much as i would like to think that covered woman is all that,an Angel maybe
But hello,we are on earth and women are human covered or not!
So covered or not,in the end its all about morals

And what is that crap about ?
'The cover cuts down on competition among women. How many people in the West sacrifice financial savings and health in order to have plastic surgery - in a desperate attempt to meet up to an unrealistic standard of beauty?'

So covered woman should look like S**t under her hijab...niqap or what ever ?!
Covered woman would sacrifice same too,in order to look beauty for her own eyes

the only thing i would agree on

'Islam teaches us that the most beautiful women are not necessarily the most popular. Rather, she is assessed for her mind, and not just her outer beauty…'

Just piece of advice for who think that way
Dont be very lazy and try to use the comb more often !

Well,they do have my sympathy handsom
They are not free to make a decision about even what to wear
Maybe if they have that freedom,they wont be thinking that way. 'if they do i mean '

An ignorant one dare.
mmm,of course we are talking about normal not covered women,those who are not wearing hijab or Turban.

So nope,i dont agree
Not most Muslims think that way,not from what i come from.

Gee handsome, is that what you think Islam is about? From my experience the wearing of covering does not equate to an automatic "good woman". There are also actions. I was amazed to see many prostitutes in Morocco who were totally veiled. They were quite able to get their message over even with nothing but eyes showing.

Actually, I have met many Muslims who were quite tolerant to uncovered women. As I said, it's not the cloth as much as the attitude.

can you define what "dressing immodestly" is. You`re talking about respecting what people choose to wear and then you call those who don`t wear like you do immodest. Sorry but we are not so naive to believe in these lies.

In which Islamic/theocratic country are women appreciated for their contribution to society? Sounds like a joke.


Go on living in the medieval times. The people like you makes me praise Ataturk even more.

Alameda, why don`t you go to Fatih or Sultanbeyli wearing a skirt (let alone miniskirt, that would be an invitation to lynch) and without headscarf. I`m wondering how long will you be able to survive. Have you ever heard of these places? They are in Istanbul, not somewhere close to the Iraq border.
