response to Carly

I read Carlys ch.9 blog and I agree with the fact that understanding Islam is a bit easier because it is more like Christianity. The belief in one God is much easier to connect with. It is a huge problem I feel that there seems to be little to no distinction between the religious laws and the state or civil ones. America pushes that card a bit also with matters like swearing on a Bible, the pledge of alleginace, the words In God We Trust and so on. Religion is one thing and law is another or at least that is how it should be. People just can not seperate such strong emotions and when those two get intertwined it can get very ugly very fast.

I also have wondered at times about the restrictions on Muslim women as Carly has. Muslim women do sound as if they are to be obediant and silent but are the veils till necesarry? It would make sense if so because if the men are so concerned about the women being obediant and in the shadows then it makes sense to keep them covered up with only their eyes, the eyes that must focus on their duties, being visible. For the sake of these women and for the equality that all women have earned and deserve, I hope one day these veils become an option or choice and not  mandatory.
