ex muslim women and modern muslim women are exposing more and more skin and getting beautiful. ex muslim women and modern muslim women are wearing more mini skirts and bkinis. disgusting hindoos are jealous about this they want muslim women to wear burqa. disgusting hindoos will always be ugly no matter what they wear so they are angry that ex muslim women and modern muslim women are exposing more and more skin and showing their beauty.

@spicyguy07 You select and bring the most lazy people of the mideast and north africa to europe to collect welfare and social, then they start abusing the Islam! showing off that they are different and,,... If you force them to work 8 hours a day, they will not do this anymore!

Burqa is not Islamic at all! this is the traditional wearing in parts of middle east and africa started centuries before Islam!

Why doesn't anyone make a issue of women having to cover themselves in Saudi Arabia? Even if when some dont want to?

Its a law there, and its done to safe guard their culture, Just like France is banning burqa to safeguard THEIR culture, Why is it that western women who go to Arabia willingly wear the niqab and accept their culture but Muslim women in France cannot accept France's culture?

Let women wear what they want in your Muslim country and we'll allow women to wear they want it ours. :)

@hellojulie u r absolutely right, the problem now a days with people practising islam is that, they try to connect everything to islam, from food, clothes, color, hair, beard, etc, what ever they see they join with religion which is very wrong, as rightly said, religion should be practiced and not the customs and traditions as every region has its own customs and traditions. Arabs used long dresses and burqa and hijab for other reasons which become a major embodiment of islam..am i correct guys?
