A QUESTION ABOUT ISLAM AND PHYSICAL MODESTY

[Anonymous]

Some businesses in the Middle East have banned women from wearing cloak type coverings because of increased theft.

Men there have been know to wear women's cloak and niquabs in an attempt to get through security checkpoints more easily.

Go back to the Middle East; that's totally unacceptable here. If a man floated around the mall covered head to toe in a costume it would be interpreted as a security risk.

What makes you think they are from the Middle East in the first place? The two women I know are American born converts. Most Muslims here were born here.

I don't think that's a fair statement; most niqabis you see around Tysons', specifically, are Gulfies. Muslim-majority country immigration numbers are at approximately a hundred thousand a year (that's a projection, not actual records, because no one tracks religious affiliation of incoming immigrants), so it's a sound theory that a good chunk of Muslims in America weren't born here.

Most people wearing niqab may be immigrants, I have no idea. But I do know most Muslims here were born here. Most are black muslims who have been here forever, and children of immigrants.

As Gulfies is a pejorative term.

A veiled woman attacked and killed Ibolya Ryan in a restroom of a high-end mall in Abu Dhabi.

a modest example

The alleged attacker was fully covered, donning an abaya -- a black, full-length gown traditionally worn by Emirati women -- black gloves, a face cover and a hijab, or head scarf, police said. She fled the mall after the attack.

Police believe Ryan, who was the mother of three children, did not know the attacker, Al Nahyan said.

Not according to Gulfies.

I hope they show her body and face at the trial.

she is not a true muslim so she should not be allowed to hide behind the modesty clause.

Would they allow a murderer to go on trial in one of those black sheets?????

When the police dragged the woman suspect from her house, neither her hair nor her face was covered. The police did blur her face, however in the picture they released of her release.
