    But what do you mean by 'Islamic clothing'?
    Middle Eastern? ???

    not necessarily middle eastern. Islamic means Islamic

      I was not saying we all must assume middle eastern clothing, lol. Far from it. I cited catholics because that is what I was most familiar with growing up. The point was, because of their manner of dress, you know who they were and what they stood for. I recall when I was a child also, where it says in the bible for a woman to cover her hair, the modest women in the child I attended as a child would do so.

      Contrast this with a buddhist monk I met at one point. He was sitting on a bench in front of walmart, after inquiring turns out he was waiting for his fellow brother as he obtained a few necessities like deodorant. Now, one immediately could grasp that this fellow was not just anyone off the street.. lol. I was fascinated and by that, an opportunity to learn a bit about his beliefs was there and a friend made.

      I find americans are rather social for the most part in parts of the west and the southeast. They can be open minded and speak to you to learn something. As I say, since I wear my kufi and modest clothing.. it is not because I am towing a party or religious line. It does not mark me as X or Y for my own self. Actions are judged by their intent.

      I meet more women who rebel against the covering in america as reverts, because regardless of their religion, they are still at heart children of the sexual revolution and feminism and think they can carry on these ideals when it is in opposition to the teachings of Islam. I do not toss out all hadiths, btw, some I feel are very good. Such as the ones about honoring your mother, that paradise is found at the feet of the mothers, that a woman should raise good muslims.. that the most honorable thing a woman can do is be a great mother at home with the children.

      This is coming from the intent of wanting to engage others because of how I dress, not that how I dress itself counts. This seems to be the fundamental misunderstanding and if completely my fault I apologize, but I would presume I was communicating well enough, lol.

      Ah well.. Inshallah, I have said what I should and will leave it be. I was happy at least Q_student enjoyed it.. lol.

        RasulHamsa - rotfl You mean that kinda islam! ah ok I get it now

        rashidala - Aha. Like if people on the street know you are a muslim, they might ask you more about your faith. Can't you just wear a t-shirt that says 'I am Muslim' on it?

          Peace rashidala,

          Did you read my last post where I responded to you first post?

          I find americans are rather social for the most part in parts of the west and the southeast. They can be open minded and speak to you to learn something. As I say, since I wear my kufi and modest clothing.. it is not because I am towing a party or religious line. It does not mark me as X or Y for my own self. Actions are judged by their intent.

          Well, in a way it DOES label you X or Z, whether that is your intention or not.

          I meet more women who rebel against the covering in america as reverts, because regardless of their religion, they are still at heart children of the sexual revolution and feminism and think they can carry on these ideals when it is in opposition to the teachings of Islam.

          Please read the Quranic verses that I cited.

          I do not toss out all hadiths, btw, some I feel are very good. Such as the ones about honoring your mother, that paradise is found at the feet of the mothers, that a woman should raise good muslims.. that the most honorable thing a woman can do is be a great mother at home with the children.

          All this, and better things can be found in the Quran. Again, please read the verses which I have posted in my last post.
          Here are some more

          3195 Their Lord responded to them "I never fail to reward any worker among you for any work you do, be you male or female - you are equal to one another. Thus, those who immigrate, and get evicted from their homes, and are persecuted because of Me, and fight and get killed, I will surely remit their sins and admit them into gardens with flowing streams." Such is the reward from GOD. GOD possesses the ultimate reward.

          4615 We instructed the human being to honor his parents. His mother bore him with hardship, gave birth to him in hardship, and his weaning lasts thirty months. Until he has attained his maturity, and reaches forty years, he says "My Lord, direct me to appreciate the blessings You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to do righteousness that pleases You. Let my progeny be righteous. I have repented to You; I am of those who have submitted."

          This is coming from the intent of wanting to engage others because of how I dress, not that how I dress itself counts. This seems to be the fundamental misunderstanding and if completely my fault I apologize, but I would presume I was communicating well enough, lol.

          bravo

              Can't they just dress modestly without covering the hair?
