maybe you were miss informed
we do NOT, i repeat, do NOT force our women to cover their face
(some do force them, which is PURE culture)
Quran says they are suppose to cover their HAIR
if they cover it good
if they dont then they are not doing what their belief teaches..
now if one doesnt cover her hair, NO ONE IS ALLOWED to force her according to religion..
but i undrestand what your saying
those so called muslim countries force people to do this to do that..
which is not right
everyone has a CHOICE
and religion teaches one to do something, if they do it they are following, if they dont, then they ar nto following

by the way
covering face is NOT mentioned in the Qur'an
but some do it for their protection
like i have 2 sisters, we live in canada
they both cover their hair
and no one in my family forces them to
because they could do what ever the hell they want here since we are in canada, and not a thing my dad or dad could say
but its a choice
so to sum this up

we dont force our women to do anything againts thier WILL
those that do are disobeying their belief

and no fighting is started
i just think you were miss informed
and i wont hit you
unless you like it

just something else

when islam came, it was the first time in history that women actually had a lot of rights
such as inherit land, be treated like a human other than a WOMEN. and many other rights, if you want i can go on..
