i wear hijab. and im living in a muslim society, in which there r muslim women who do not wear a scarf. but i do not think of them as u say. for me hijab is a step towards God, that's it. it does not mean that women without hijab r going to hell or sth. u should not feel so bad when u see a woman with hijab or at least u should respect her choice. actually i can compare muslim women to nuns because actually both r humanbeings who think that hiding their hair is a step towards God.

i m sorry for writting the whole thing in the 1st place because i think that some westerns want to hate islam and muslims so such a discussion is in vain
