Please note that it is not strict fundamentalist Muslim tradition for women to have only their eyes visible.

In Islam women are expected to dress modestly and not wear figure hugging clothes, only their face, hands and feet are supposed to be visible and their beauty should only be seen by their husbands.

Please make sure you get your facts right about Islam, women in Islam and the dress code!!!

Sahira, please explain the "Burqa" to us.

It was asked: "have you read the first 'chapter' of the bible? about adam and eve and why they covered up? hmmmmmmmmmmm"

Indeed, a similar event (to Gen. 3:7) will occur at the end of time (Rev. 9:19) with all sinners (suitably dressed - thus making fig leaves ineffective) shouting to the rocks and the mountains to fall upon them and cover them. They were afraid for their consciences' sake! This is NOT (as generally thought) related to God bringing the first sin-offer (Gen. 3:21) to atone for their sin - which is also why Cain should have known better!
