The Bible Says woman should cover their head when they pray why don't they.?

That's a very good point. In the early days of Christian religion, Christians were also required to fast (not eat from sunrise to sunset) in certain times of the year. This is similar to what Muslims do. But Christians have given up this tradition just because the early practioners chose what to carry out and the bible was written a long time after Jesus's death. That's why so many things have been lost or modified. In Islam, the Quran was written at the time the Prophet Muhammed  (sm) was still alive. So, there was no chance of it being changed or modified later.

SATAN!!!\nDe 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

If it makes you feel any better, there is a movement among some Christian women to wear head coverings. I do not wear one, but I respect those that do.\n\nI have never thought that wearing hijab meant that a woman was subjugated and uneducated. Some of us Christian women have open minds.

Yes!!!  When the Bible talks about women not wearing men's clothing, the original text is actually refering to men's under garments.  \n\nIf in doubt, look in the mirror.  Do you look feminine and pretty?  Do you look like a "lady"?  God wants us to have freedom, but I don't think a Christian woman should look "butch".  This is my personal opinion though.

First of all let me tell you that i agree with you. But to clear things more, covering the hair for a Muslim woman is something that should be done exactly like Christian women are supposed to cover their hais, however, when you come to choice there are a lot of Muslim women whom do not cover their hair (they are still Muslims). As for what some governemts are doing to force women to cover their hair well i think its up to the government itself and whoever does not like it can leave the country (thats a choice)...

I grew up (in the US) in a very strict Christian church, where women didn't wear pants, men didn't have beards or mustaches, and all elbows/knees were expected to be covered.\n\nThis was based on a couple of things (based on my opinions, mind you, I'm no theologian). General modesty, and the Biblical passage stating 'a woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man.'\n\nNow, while I respect the intent of these teachings and the people I've known that teach them, I don't feel that the Biblical passage in question necessitates that women should not wear pants. The passage clearly pre-dates the clothes we wear today, and I simply don't believe that God expects us to live at the whim of the times. Taken to its logical conclusion, the idea that women can't wear pants simply because it is the fashion for men to wear them suggests that if all men were suddenly to begin wearing dresses, women by necessity would have to start wearing pants. I don't believe God expects us to live at society's whims like that.\n\nHowever, clothing is a very personal choice. If there is one thing I learned from growing up in that kind of church, it is that I am in no position to impose my own religious convictions upon another person.\n\nI don't believe it is a sin for a woman to wear pants, but when in doubt, I rely upon James 4:17 "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." If you believe something, based upon what you have read and what you have been taught and upon your own relationship with God, that is what is right or wrong for you. No one else's personal beliefs or experiences take the place of that.

I am Muslim and I do not believe women are required to cover their faces. Everyone (including men) is, however, required to conduct themselves modestly.\n\nYou will get a lot of answers from people who take the Qur'an out of context and do not look at the arabic words which tell a very different story from the translations. There are some Muslims who believe women should be completely covered from head to toe and others who believe women covering themselves completely is a form of idol worship. Islam is as diverse as any other religion (and also varies geographically and culturally).

It is a requirement that she veils full time once hitting puberty. Puberty is when the person is of the age or ability to conceive, i.e. their first period and the approx. 28 days before it, which is when the ovulation actually begins. (you can confirm what puberty is by looking under wikipedia)\n\nThis age, puberty, varies for every person and is left to the parents to determine it for their child.\n\nIn addition, it is the parent's obligation to prepare the child for veiling/covering, by introducing it at a younger age. Also, at age 7 all people are required to begin making all their prayers and it is a sin on them if they miss a prayer (salat prayer only) after they hit the age of 10. So.... she has to start covering her head for the salat prayers (five times a day) at age 7. So, many people start having their daughters wear it regularly then, but it is up to the parent to do their best to make the hijab/veiling be something she embraces and will do for a lifetime and be prepared to do it by age puberty. It's not really that hard, once she understands that it has nothing to do with the christian concept of covering the head out of submission to the husband as Paul said. It is because of covering out of obedience to Allah only and it is a means of protection, Allah says in The Quran.

I'll make it easy for you. Men tend to badger and take advantage of women who wear very tight clothing. The hijab protects us against these men. That's the whole point -----> PROTECTION! It is not oppressive!!! Do you see muslims woman complaining? NO!

I think it should be a womans choice. Noone should tell them they have to or they can't. I think the adultery point you mentioned is outrageous compared to other possibilities if you are taking that angle. They do not cover their face to get away with adultery, but for religios and moral reasons. If they could get away with adultery, who's to say they could not get away with robbing a store? Or kidnapping a child? Or murder? But I honestly feel like none of these are serious issues to be concerned with, and having the right to cover your face if you want should be protected.

It doesn't.  The only Scriptures that even remotely deal with clothing and women are:\n\n"The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God."  (Deuteronomy 22:5)\n\nAnd\n\n"In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;"  (I Timothy 2:9)\n\nThe Old Testament law was fulfilled in Christ, and therefore, the requirement in Deuteronomy is moot.

didn't you ask this before, in a religouse section, wtf is up with that, and yes to answer your question, ppl need to protect themselves

Gosh! It has nothing to do with that. This is the third time someone has asked that question. Just pray for Goodness sake! Pray naked if you want to, just as long as your sincere in your heart just pray, standing, sitting, hats on or off, it doesn't matter! I prayed while I was sitting on the toilet once and God still answered the pray. He isn't worried about all of our crazy thinking! And I am a christian, but I'm frustrated with all of this religious stuff! No wonder people don't want to come to church, they think the church is CONFUSED!

Because they are afraid that women will do that to them if they dont do it to women first.  Law of the Jungle, eat or be eaten, your either pretitor or pray.

Christ never said to go along with the changes of the world.  "Go with the Flow" is not a message you'll find in the bible.  \n\nThere seems to be a debate about how to interpret the issue of a woman having a head covered and cutting her hair from what I could find, but it seems like most people interpret it to mean that a woman is not to have her hair cut in a man's style and a man is not to have it cut in a woman's style.  Heres a link that talks about it.\n\nhttp://www.leaderu.com/orgs/cbmw/rbmw/chapter5.html

No. In many religions it was required for an older girl or woman to keep her hair at least partially covered. With a hat, scarf, mantilla, or even a paper towel in a pinch.\nA woman's hair was looked upon as a "crowning glory" for her, and it was a simple gesture of humility and modesty for her to wear something on her head.\nThe same wasn't thought about men's hair, so men removed their hats as a show of respect.\nIt's as simple as that. Being an older woman, the Queen probably is just sticking with the old traditions.
