hahaha "we are not gonna make laws on what Mona believes" lol i love hebah ahmed. i also love cnn for actually having normal intelligent muslim women discoursing. so refreshing cnn, kudos.

just by using sophisticated words mona is trying to prove that she's superior, i don't get why she can't just forget about it and not get involved, it's not harming her in any way so why fight so hard for it, the people you THINK you're helping are getting mad anyway so basically all your fights are made redundant, go find a real job

Thanks for answering Sofia!

@bassplayer703 And you would know how?

It does say cover your head but the face is optional. The face and hands can be exposed.

And im following God not my parents not anyone here on earth. Im an American Muslim

[bassplayer703]

@Sofia0527 Actually it is not said in the Qu'ran that you have to wear them, please think for yourself and stop doing what your parents and or Islamic leaders tell you to do. Stop believing in god, and believe in yourself.

let me just make this clear .........islam dose not tells muslims women to cover the face....!!!! this is correct ...!! i am a muslim

[Sofia0527]

@keyokeyo59  They did in the 50's - 60's

[Sofia0527]

@MrWingsky Men also have to cover up in Islam. They cannot wear anything shorter than their knee length or wear tight clothes that reveal their body shape because Men aslo have attractiveness, Some woman are attracted to mens Muscles and can cause her to commit a bad sin by looking at him because a Muslim womans role is to be modest and for her to be looking at all the handsome men is forbidden

[Sofia0527]

@24fas so by her not covering up her hair is like saying, I Dont believe in the Quran and Allah or the Messengers pbuh. As Muslims we are suppose to obey everything in the Quran and believe in every word. Or its like saying God makes mistakes and he made one in his book Therefore the person has disbelieved. SO, dont listen to woman with ought there head covering because i assure you, they dont understand Quran correctly.
