Out of respect for me, my husband supports my refusal to ever set foot in a mosque. I love my husband and respect his culture, but I don't feel like I have to demean myself so that he knows I respect him. To cover yourself because of some insane idea that you give a man sexual thoughts is outrageous! NOBODY can control the thoughts and feelings of another human being.

Just a shame you will never see a programme inside the islamic regions of the UK, making a three week programme asking them to live like an English person/Christian or Jew. I agree with understanding each other cultures, but where is the balance these days?

Covering up doesn't stop men thinking about sex ! Proven by this weeks news headline of an completely covered Saudi woman being raped and then sentenced to 200 lashes !

We all know she is far from the first to have this happen and will hardly be the last. It's disgusting and twisted!

I don't see wearing the scarf as demeaning.Quite the opposite,i know he likes me to dress modestly which doesnt bother me at all because i do anyway.However if i wanted to wear something he didnt 100% approve of i would! He would never tell me how to dress just as i don't tell him how to.However i do believe in a little compromise for example if he was to point out to me that we were attending an occasion which he and his family felt demanded that i wear a scarf then i would of course.I am not saying that one can control the thoughts of another human being however whats the harm in dressing so decrease the liklihood that sexual thoughts will be in the mind.I want to be taken seriously just as much as the next person does, not to have someone staring at my boobs because i choose to display them like a pair of prize melons.However as i have said previously i fully support a woman who wishes to dress in that way as it is her choice.

If you want to wear a scarf, Sera, that is your business. I will never put a scarf on to be taken seriously. If a place or occasion demanded that I wear one, I would not go. If my husbands family does not understand that, that's just to bad. I respect their right to wear one...I would never ask them not to. They are invited to functions in my family regardless of how they dress. If they feel uncomfortable, they can certainly decline. I do understand what your saying Sera, but I have lived long enough in this world to know that there are somethings I can never compromise...I can compromise about not having pork in my house and how strong the coffee is but I will never ever compromise on hijab. If I am not welcome as I am...I will not go.
