text: Well, in Islam women are told to cover their bodies with appropriate clothing wich is not revealing & appealing to men.\n\nWhere as women are free to do what they want in US.\n& that is the difference!.\n\n\nWomen wear anything they want...\nRevealing or what is sexy etc...\n\nlike bikinis, mini-skirts, tight jeans & short shirts,\nor low cut shirts, revealing their cleavage & bikini revealing nearly their entire body...\nWhich make then notthing more than a "SEX OBJECT"\n\nHere in Islam, it is a saying, of Prophet MUHAMMAD(PBUH), that the woman who wears tight fitting clothes will not be able to even smell the heavenly odour of heaven.\nThat woman will not even b able to come even 500 yards away from the door of heaven....\n\n Note that the clothing is just tight fitting(which can show body cuts, highlight hipps,highlight breasts etc..)\nNothing is said about revealing skin....\n\nSo if just tightfitting clothes can make women suffer like this, how much can make them suffer if they wear skinrevealing cleavage revealing, panty revealing clothes etc..!\n\nStrict rules for all in Islam is just for their own good will...\n\nNeither the women will wear revealing clothes or tight fitting clothes nor they will be gazed by men as "SEX OBJECTS"..\nNor there will be sexuall abuses.. etc...\n\nThat is why there is hell lot of sexuall abuse in US alone    than all over muslim countries....\n\nEven in college, where young boys & girls go for study, the girls are sexually harrassed by either their classmate boys or their teachers....\n\nSo wearing viel infact increases muslim womens' protection against sexuall abuse. \n& they are respected & are considered pure, NOT  a "SEX OBJECT: \n\nWell this is how a women is respected & taken care off in Islam.\n\nThis is only one aspect of Islam for making people respect women...\n\n\nOne other is that \nProphet MUHAMMAD PBUH said, Heaven is under mothers' feet.\nMeaning that if u support & obey ur mother & take care when she is old, u r eligible for entering Heaven...\n\nWhere as mothers when they r old in US are kicked out of the sons/daughters house & are sent to OLD houses....\n\nSo Islam helps respect women in many ways, of which only 2 of them I have written here..\nIf I start writing 2 more aspects of Women in Islam, it will become very long to read & digest...\nSo I stop here...\n \nkeep it in mind that here are only 2 aspects , \nThere are Many more aspects which really make sense. like veil reducing chances of sexual abuse & help keeping  bad eyes off from women...\netc.etc...\nIslam is truely a great religion in every aspect.!
