Mohammed, CPA: Most Muslims nations impose a dress code on women

Submitted by Plato (India), Sep 10, 2009 at 09:08

>>The Dress is a matter of personal taste. Every person has the Right & Freedom to use his or Dress accorging to their choices.

All people of the world must respect this Rule.<<

The only places in which this rule is totally disrespected are Muslim nations and Muslim ghettos in non-Muslim ones. Just to name a few: Saudi Arabia, Iran, Sudan. In Sudan a woman journalist was sentenced to be flogged for wearing pants:

"Sudanese woman locked up for wearing trousers deemed indecent by a Khartoum court was free today after spending just one night in prison.

"Lubna Hussein, a 34-year-old widow and journalist, was released against her wishes after Sudan's journalist union paid the £130 penalty imposed by a court that decided against imposing the maximum punishment of 40 lashes and an unlimited fine that is allowed by law.

Ms Hussein was locked up after refusing to pay the fine on Monday." http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/africa/article6826206.ece

Why is it that Muslims are about the only people in the world who flout your Rule?

>>Every person should wear nice dresses.<<

An Islamic sharia court in Sudan thinks that pants on a woman are indecent.

>> Personally I do not like the Burqa used by Afghan women. This kind of Burqa is not an Islamic Dress.<<

Who decides which burqa is a proper Islamic dress? The Saudis, the Iranians, the Afghans or you?

>> Every nice Dress may be used by any one. Holy Quran allows the women to keep their face, Wrists Open, Not covered.<<

Which verse in the Koran has this dress code allowing only faces and wrists to be exposed. You obviously have not read the Koran.

>>It is awful to cover faces.<<

What is wrong with covering one's face, if one wants to? It is awful only if one is forced to cover up.

>>France or other countries must not impose Restriction on Hijab. It is the Right of the women to go by their Choices & Freedom.<<

Is it okay for Saudi Arabia, Iran, or Sudan and Muslim men in general to deny women the right to go by "their choices and freedom"?
