Why wear head coverings

I live in San Francisco and regularrly see their big beautiful eyes, but also love showing the respect. It is culturally different. Dont be ethnocentric. Im not sure our sexual willy nillyism has been too sucessful either. You are like trying to nail jelly to a wall. Sorry but Muslim women are not the only religious group that cover …. The title suggested something more informative.

The entire premise of requiring WOMEN to cover up so men can control themselves was a great way to ensure you have an entire country filled with men who are basically no better than dogs in heat. Quite literally, uncontrollable animals. The Western reporters were horrified. This female reporter being mauled by Muslim men in broad daylight in the middle of a celebration would be like a women being sexually assaulted in Times Square on New Years Eve — just would not happen.

Not possible. Times Square New years eye men and women jammed packed on Times Square never ONCE has their been masses of American men so out of control sexually that they attack some women for simply being in public.

A mass of women had to form a circle , go out in the crowd of animals and surround her, then take her back completely surrounded so more animals wont get at her. Seriously, you Muslim men are like dogs and you create this in yourself by excusing your violence and expecting your women to deny they are human beings.

Either women have worth and value quite apart from their purity or they do not. If you are man walking next to a women in a head scarf anyone Western is looking at you like you are essentially a terrorist to women. Like a black person choosing to stay with their owner after emancipation. Do your daughters a favor and leave. Be brave enough to choose freedom for all the future female generations in the family. Jesus told the crowd years ago they were not worthy to stone a women for adultery, years ago!

Muslims now are not where Jesus was years ago. They file more lawsuits than gays, blacks, and illegal immigrants all put together. That fact alone proves that the filthy beasts have no desire to become a part of whatever community they have invaded.

The can hide behind the scarf claiming religious needs and use it to practice taqiyyah and hatred towards infidels. If you want to dress in a tent then go back to the Flintstone countries that spawned you evil thugs. The quran was written by a lying, cheating, stealing, thieving, murdering, raping pedophile called mohammed pieceofbaconbeuponhim. It is NOT the word of a higher power but rather the ramblings of a psychotic false prophet.

Only the foolish or psychotic would follow that garbage. And is clear in what is says. It means a lot to me. My mom is going to study 1Cor11 also. She is interested because she sees that my heart is full of love and joy for Jesus and the Word.

The more I study this teaching the deeper the Word is. God bless you. Women in the world are too wrapped up in their hair, makeup and body type and size. I am so thankful that Jesus loves me!

I appreciate you sharing this piece on your blog Elle. All the best to each one of you ladies as you strive to be faithful to God's calling on your life. Love and blessings, Norann. Hi Norann, I'm delighted to hear it is truly a choice, and not a pre-requisite. I'm happy to know of your community, and I'm glad to hear you allow for this freedom for women. Thank you!

So, in a sense, head covering comes with the territory. Wishing you blessings and encouragement, Norann. Hi Norann, I enjoyed your post. Respectfully, my question is this: how can you say it is a choice when women who are born and raised in your community wear the head covering as a uniform?

Is it not required by your community? Does your community allow for women to choose, for their own reasons and conscience, not to wear the head covering and still partake in all community activities? I do not mean these questions at all to be offensive or attacking, but simply inquisitive. To my understanding of the word 'choice', it means that you allow for women to choose otherwise, according to their own personal relationship with Christ, and identity with God.

Great questions, Teresa. My head covering is just a simple, home-made triangle of lightweight cloth. I use a bobby pin on each side to keep it in place. Hi Norann- thanks for this article! Dear Nikki Thank you for your comments and questions. I would encourage you with your own words that "I feel like I am being led by the Holy Spirit in this. You are right that covering will not make you any more "spiritual" or endearing to God; we are His beloved daughters always and all ways.

Likewise, I don't think the style of covering, rules about when you wear it, or pearls or braids are the most important thing. It's the attitude of the heart and forgoing those things which we do to make other people notice us which is important.

I wish you God's guidance and peace as you continue to seek His will about this. Wishing you every best blessing, Norann. I'm in the beginning of studying 1 Corinthians Every time over the last few years as I read through the bible I always really ponder these verses.

And more. So I am Looking into it more.. I feel like I am being led by the Holy Spirit in this. I don't believe it will make me any more "spiritual" or a way for God to love me more. I have questions like how often am I to wear a cover? And what constitutes as a head covering? Is it always scarf-like? What about a ladies hat? What about my hair. Can it show? Does it mean specifically those things or anything that makes you more noticed?

Where do I find a swe s to these questions? I love the level of your understanding in the word of God. I am very well encouraged. Thanks for your thoughtful comments, Greg.
