My soon to be wife (Inshallah) did not wear teh hijab till a few years ago because she looked into her religion and started wanted to be a practicing muslim again mashAllah. I am a revert to Islam (ALhamdulillah) and I am very happy with my soon to be wife inshallah and all of her sisters and her mother all love their religion and wear the hijab. So this idea that they are somehow oppressed is ridiculous. Maybe the women in the western world are the ones who are oppressed, they are treated as objects. The way western women are treated is disgusting, at least no man can stare at my wife (inshallah) or stare at her body and treat her as an object. Maybe you all like to stare at women and are too voyeuristic for your own good. I feel sorry for you. Why do you feel the best thign to do with your time is to atack islam in absolutely anyway possible. You attcak halal meat but what abaout kosher? You attcak the muslim hijab but many western women used to wear them and nuns still wear them. Are you going to protest this "Opression"? thought not? Is it becasue you dont like hijabs, or is it coz you dont like muslims? Alhamdulillah I am a 22 year old revert and love my religion and I laugh at how you spend your time, writing such hateful rubbish, you just want someone to hate
