It’s not that there is anything wrong with being covered. It is that being covered is forced and being forced to cover is required in places that do apply Islam as law.
Many places don’t apply Islam as law entirely because they are only places that have been invaded by Islam and still able to retain some practices and people who did not accept Islam. However, in places like Iran, the Islamic revolution allowed an Islamic State to establish a dress code for women requiring them to cover and is therefore an example of no regard for women or oppression.
Obviously, there is nothing wrong with modesty. I like to dress modestly, but many people believe the Quran supports women being covered in something that does show a women’s shape at all and this becomes required in places where Islam has gained control over the government of the area.
My perspective as a Christian woman is:
1. Freedom of Religion. I may not agree with what I do know about Islam, but I know that I DON’T know enough about the religion to criticize the practices of their faith that do not infringe on my faith. Therefore, unless we are forced to adopt Islam as a religion against our will
I see no reason to condemn Muslims as enemies.
I don’t hate Muslims; on the contrary, I genuinely love them & want them to be saved. I think we should give them the Gospel in Love, rather than ostracize them based on propaganda fed to us by our lying, green screen media that propagates lies to the public to further their own genocidal agendas.
2. Try to understand their point of view. Christians know that our religion is largely misunderstood, misrepresented & mocked by people who think they know what we believe, but based on the false assumptions they present, it becomes apparent that they DON’T know what we believe because they haven’t studied the Holy Bible.
Therefore, it seems more likely that they attack our faith because they don’t understand it, or because they don’t like Christians in general.
Have you considered that this may also be the case with Muslims?
After all, Muslims are people, too. They work, play, have families & lives just like everyone else. Just because they dress differently, that doesn’t make them wrong.
Not everyone lives or dresses like Westerners, and how arrogant can one be to think they SHOULD?
Also, the Bible says that our garments should cover our thighs, yet many western women (even Christians) do not comply with
this.
The Bible also says women should keep their hair long & men must keep their hair short, but many believers don’t comply.
Also, the Bible says that wives are to respect, “submit to” & “obey” their husbands, but how many western women claim that doing so is “oppression”?
Perhaps we ought to get our own behavior in order & our own lives in subjection to God before accusing others of wrongdoing, when they are actually living more in obedience to our Scriptures than we are.
