Doh....The whole idea of me wearing my hijab is so that I attract less attention and men do not notice me!\n\nIn the Quran it states that you should gaze your eyes downwards when you see a women.\n\nWhy is it that most NON-Muslim men recognise that.\nAnd it is only Muslim men that act the idiot and start trying to flirt with girls in hijab!\n\nYou should be ashamed of yourself for looking at hijabi girls like that!

A person should do what makes him or her comfortable without worrying about the opinions of others.  Some men dont do it, i know my husband wont even consider putting a lotion on his face. Although it would do him good after shaving.  I wish he would take more care of himself.  So I guess I'm all for it, men need some pampering also aslong as it is to a certain extent.

I'm a muslim. And I always dress in Hijab (covering everything except face and hands) how is written in the Quran.\n\nThat way my beauty is only for my husband to enjoy :-)\n\nI don't think I would want everybody seeing. I would feel a little naked.

I'm a Muslim and we are thought to treat the other religions and their followers with respect. I would suggest you to try to do the same thing.

I am modest, though I assume my protestant standard is different than an Islamic standard\n\nI dress so as to look proper, reasonable neck lines, skirts below the knee, no midriff, no suggestive tattoos or piercings\n\nI do not flirt, I am not forward with men, I do not discuss bodies or issues surrounding them if it might cause lust, I guard my tounge\n\nIn a dating situation I will not engage in any PDAs, in fact, I try to limit my kissing to 'bird pecks' (never on the first date!) and I try to stay in public places\n\nI know this sounds ultra conservative, maybe it is, it's a product of my upbringing and my personal convictions\n\nBTW, I don't hold men to any different standards, I would appreciate not seeing any more topless men or Visible boxers, and I am really sick of loud lewd conversations

My friend K-9,\nWhat in the world remains that you do like. \nFirst its the US Military you Hate. \nThen Its the Black People you Hate. \nNow it seems to be the turn of the Gay community. \nTsk Tsk. \nOH i just remembered You do admire the Insurgents in Iraq, and come to think of it, there has not been anything bad from you on the Muslim front Either. \nOn your question, Why would they not be Entitled, In to-days world i would guess they would be. \nBack then the world was not as open about things. \nSo anyhow nice to know you can be so Versatile in your opinions of not liking people.

Prophet Muhammad pbuh commanded muslims to grow beard and trim the mustache. \n\nyes growing a beard in islam is one of the sunnah of prophet Muhammad pbuh. and ofcourse, one of the commandment of Allah. \nquran 4:59. "O ye who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger.....

That's how they are brainwashed. if they see a nun cowered from head to toe, they think very highly of that woman, they think she is a very pious woman, she is doing god's work etc. But when they think a muslim woman then they think that  she is mistreated , subjugated, and needs to be liberated.WOW........\n\n  Same is the case with beard.Their jesus can have a beard, their santa claus can have a beard, their God can have a white flowing beard and they are all good people . But when a dark skin person has a beard than than the first thing that comes to their mind is this guy probably is a terrorist WOW...........  AMAZING..........

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.

No, I've been very lucky. If anything, once people know more about my religion after I explain things to them, they usually have high respect for my beliefs. I haven't been made fun of, just annoyed sometimes by people's ignorance. That's about it. However, I don't really blame them for not knowing about Islam. They live in a society where it is still quite unusual to them. Our job is to educate them, and let them know about our beliefs. I enjoy talking to people about my religion. The worst thing they'll do is act like they're not interested, and then I won't push the issue. I have almost been bullied by someone before, but stood up for myself, and put them in their place. We ended up respecting each other, and had no future problems. Sometimes, you have to stand up for your beliefs. As far as being called a terrorist, lol! I am so used to hearing that word, that I've become immune to it. As long as we know that is a lie made up by the government, and that we are peaceful, then we will project that to others, and they will want to be our friends, Insha Allah. That is the attitude I approach others with. If they don't want to like me because I am a Muslim, then I really don't think they matter any way. Salam.

It's amazing that you should ask this particular question now, because my hubby just shaved his beard/mustache yesterday. I prefer clean-shaved, because the hair sticks in my mouth when we kiss (or goes up my nose). It's very irritating & it makes me not want to kiss him. To put it bluntly, it's like trying to kiss either a brillo pad (not that I've ever kissed one, but could imagine), or trying to kiss a long-haired animal (no comment). Besides all that, I love being able to see his handsome face & having a beard/mustache just hides too much of it.

Why must everyone keep insisting that a stereotype is how everyone is?\n\nYou've saddened me. I'm a Muslim, and it makes me sad to see how many people insist that we're 'intolerant' or whatever. The thing is, you don't judge someone by how other people act. If I looked at some random people and then decicded that everyone else is like them too I wouldn't be being very fair. In fact- the people putting us down are actually intolerant. Intolerant of us. Why can't we all just accept people as they are? There are some people in this world who are different than you. You have to accept it. And when you go around spouting questions, please think about who you might be offending. What you are saying is that Muslims are extremely intolerant. Don't make judgements about a whole culture unless you actually know a lot of Muslim people. If you don't, then don't make judgements based on your studies. We are like you people. Everyone is different, with different personalities. PLEASE, please don't judge a book by it's cover. I am crying as I write this...

Every year I grow a beard in the Winter.  Usaually I go through two weeks of itchy hell and then it stops.  It makes me look different over the winter months and then in the spring when I whip it off I look so much younger and all the ladeez love it!
