All the Koran teaches is that a woman should be "modest" in her appearance. Obviously, there's many different ways to translate that.
I've not been around very many Muslim women... but what he said holds true. I've seen some in head scarves, and some who dressed in jeans and t-shirts. | The Bible teaches pretty much the same thing. And, as with the Koran, that is subject to interpretation. There is a Christian sect in my area called Church of God. (I don't know if they are present in other parts of the country.) Women in this church must never cut their hair and must always wear dresses that extend below the knee. They also are not allowed to use makeup or wear pants. Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this. That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.
