Beauty comes from the inside and the outside you clothing only covers that up. It does'nt take covering up your body to prevent men taking advantage or harming you, that is somthing all women must learn to deal with. Other countries NOT the west accept multiply wives for men that is exploitation women in the west are truely free and you sad you don;'t see that.

Even women who is not muslim have to cover if they go to visit middle east, why is that so? Why muslim women can wear their traditional clothes in all countries, but other women can't wear jeans and t-shirt and have their hair and face open if they go to cities in middle east? Because there is oppression, and there is danger if women don't do what is expected from them. Americans in non muslim country don't kill women who wear their hijabs, but muslim people in muslim country don't allow any other clothes? What's up with that? So, even if tourists have to cover up, what can we say about those women who live there? They definitely don't have any choice! I don't know if those women ask for help or not, but the situation is very unfair. And my personal opinion: there is nothing beautiful in black piece of cloth with 2 eye looking trough a hole :( maybe it's modesty or protection, but it's not beautiful.

Then again, who would ask? This is difficult. I wish the entire world would get to a point where we all had freedom to practice or not practice what we choose. I wish we could get to a point where we embraced our differences and learned from one another. I am taking a religion course in college right now and it has been incredible. I embrace certain parts of each religion. I don't think that any one of us can say with absolute certainty that one relgion is the right way and all others are wrong. The funny thing is at the root of all of them, is love. Love one another, be kind, be generous, help those with less than what you have...and yet we are so stuck on ripping one another apart. I know it is a bit cliche to say I hope for World Peace and i think we can get there if we all just take a step back and realize we are all human, we all make mistakes and we all bleed red. War is not the answer, name calling is not the answer, opression is not the answer. Love is the answer, openness to other views is the answer, caring about our fellow man is the answer.

Mariam, the traumatized biologist, says that after being attacked by extremists, she has become disillusioned with religion.

“When I was young, I always wanted to wear a headscarf… and it was my choice.

“But today, for being forced to it, it has lost any religious meaning and I put it to survive rather than follow a religious teaching.”

I got it not from media, I red comments in other muslim websites posted by muslims. Many of you get killed by male family member or other people for choosing to live your life the way you want. I know not everywhere is the same story, but it does happens. Why you say there is no oppression of women in islamic world? Why you get offended by people who don't agree with all that killing of women?
