Why do Muslim girls wear headscarves???


Why would a little girl wear hijab (head scarf)? I found this on the website The Religion of Islam http://www.islamreligion.com/articles/2770/:

"There are a myriad of reasons why, but the easy, one sentence answer is, because they believe God has made it an obligation for believing women. In the Quran God tells the believing men and women to lower their gaze and to dress modestly. He (God) specifically addresses women when He asks them not to show off their adornment, except that which is apparent, and draw their veils over their bodies." (Quran 24:30-31)

WHAT DOES A LITTLE GIRL HAVE TO BE MODEST ABOUT?!

Why Richard, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for Wales?

Because in Islam the world is good and people are evil. It is all about temptation. Women are evil as well because they temp men… that is why if I a female is raped it is her fault… Just do a little research for yourself.

Islam clearly says that both men and women should dress with modesty. Muslim women are NOT required/commanded/obligated to wear a hijab or burqa.

[24.30] Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: And Allah is well acquainted with all that they do.


[24.31] And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband’s fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers or their brothers’ sons, or their sisters’ sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments…


As for clothing, Islam doesn’t really say how to dress, but it clearly says that you should only guard your modesty and your sexual attributes. It doesn't say anything about covering the hair. Covering the face is actually considered to be a sin.

Even though Muslim women know that hijabs are not required, they anyway still CHOOSE to wear one because it's a symbol of modesty and also a partial symbol of pride to be a Muslim (like how Christians wear a cross necklace).

Most religions command their followers to dress modestly. It's not just an Islamic thing.

A predictable and typical response. Again missing the point as to why. Let me add also your attempt to redirect the question.
There is a very fundamental and basic difference in the reasons Jews or Christians cover themselves verses the reason Muslim covers themselves. Each day the world is learning the truth about Islam and the book of lies the Quran

What Christians and Jews are you talking about? Have you ever been to other parts of the world? Armenia is a Christian country with hardly any Muslims yet men and especially women are completely covered. Kim Kardashian always wears revealing clothes yet in her recent trip to Armenia she was completely covered with zero cleavage showing and guess what? She covered her head when she was in church. When she traveled to Dubai, she wore skimpy clothes and nobody there got upset or anything because in Dubai it's perfectly normal to wear revealing clothes. There is a sect in Judaism called Haredi. Guess what the women are wearing? http://moralcompassblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/haredi_purim.jpg In Saudi Arabia, women wear burqas and in Dubai women wear more revealing clothes than women in America. There are many Muslim men and women who dress just as modern as other Christians and Jews and many Christians and Jews who dress conservatively. You can't tell who is a Muslim just by looking at them. You probably seen many Muslims, but never knew they were Muslim because they weren't wearing a headscarf.

Again, Missing the point.... the reason that parts of the body are covered are basically different in Islam than any other religion . As for traveling.. yes I have traveled a lot but more important do you know anything about the world or history except the lies in the Quran ?

reply

Reasons are not different at all. Reasons are the same as they are in all other religions.

reply

No, they are not the same. Muslins require females to wear head and body covering because they tempt men. In Islam the sin is not the fault of the ' sinner' but the fault of the person who tempts them... That is why the USA is called the great Satan (the great Adversary.... because we " tempt" from the lies of Islam.

Each day more and more people are understanding the lies of Islam and the book of lies The Quran

reply

Covering the head and body in order to stop tempting men are lies. That is your interpretation of it. The Quran stresses on men and women to behave and dress modestly in order to lead a decent and and upright lifestyle...not because to avoid tempting men.

Do you know you can tell when a Muslim is lying ? Their mouth is moving .... Each word in the Quran is a lie.

Truthfully, they wear it to look unattractive enough not to be raped. They wear it out of fear. Muslim women in western countries are even distrustful of western men because they expect them to show the same aggressiveness to them sexually as Muslim men. It's a form of protection for them to hide their hair or even their face. They are forced to wear it (and the burqua in some countries) as well but many willingly want to wear it for the reasons I mentioned above.

Some Muslim women just want to feel invisible.
