Ms. D.K. Milgrim-Heath:

I do thank you very much for your decent & honorable comments.

What you saw with your Muslim woman Friend was the Right Dress for the Muslim women in the Muslim World. All Muslim women need to keep their Face & both Hands Open for Practical purposes & uses. Holy Quran Never imposes anything which is inconvenient or impracical in Human life & the Society.

Islam is Not a Religion for a Closed/ Blind Society. It is a Religion for the poeple how they will have a decent life in this World & Hereafter.

What you have observed with some Muslims in the World including your City and Saudi Arabia do not represent the Culture of Islam, Holy Quran and the Sunnah of our Prophet. I am not a blind follower of Islam & Holy Quan. If I would Not find any Logic, Reasons, a Great Idea to think about God, His Prophets from Abraham, Moses and Jesus Crist, His Creations and the very Purpose such Creations, I would Never Ever accept this Holy Quran and Islam. I Never find any Contradictions in Holy Quran with mine. I would Never act or do anything which my good Conscience & Judgment will permit me.

The Muslims who force their wives against the Freedom of the Women, their Rights and Choices, are not Muslims.

The Muslims must respect their wives, daughters, sisters and the dear Mothers without making any Discriminations against them in any Conditions. Every woman& Girl has Equal Rights like any man and boy. If any Muslim makes any Discrimination against any Woman & Girl, it is a Punishable offence under Islam and the Common Laws of every civilized country. I am very strong and vocal in my views. If any Muslim in general or any Sheikh, Imam & Grand Mufti pronounces or gives any Ruling/ Fatwa against such declared Laws of Holy Quran, I or any well informed Muslim would never ever accpt that.

If you find any Contradiactions to this Fundamental Law of Holy Quran and Islam, Every Muslim must be subject to the Punishment for such offences whatever may be his position in the Society.

The West has got Misconception about Holy Quran. Some of the Americans, Europeans and Australians blindly condemn Muslims and Holy Quran without having full Knowledge of Holy Quran. This is not fair for the enlightened people of the West. They have the Rights to study this Book and know the full contexts.

Holy Quran is a Public Document. Every person of the World has Equal Opportunity to read, understand and research on this Holy Quran without the Aid of any Arabic Expert, just with their good Judgent and without any prejudices agaist Islam. To understand Holy Quran, you must have an Open & Not a Closed Mind and a Quest for the Knowedge what is found in Holy Quran. You can not grossly blame Holy Quran without having any Knowledge & Information contained in that very Book.

I do not know Arabic. Still I am very strong on Holy Quran and can interpret the Verses of Holy Quran without going against or for it. I am very honest in my Interpretation and personal views. I do love this Holy Book but would never hate any other Holy Books like Torah and Bible (Gospel). I do have love and respect to all the good & honest people of the World including yourself.

Thanks & Cheers.
