Hijab: The Muslim Woman's Dress
Think the veil is out-dated and unfair to the women who
wear it? You may be surprised to know that many Muslim
women find great freedom in their conservative dress as
it prevents others from placing undue emphasis on their
looks. Whether they are beautiful or not, women
everywhere have always fought for others to give them
recognition and credit for their brains and not their
bodies! Islam teaches that women are not toys or objects
of enjoyment for men but half of humanity as well as our
mothers, sisters and daughters and that they deserve
dignity and respect.
