OMG! Can you please give your views on this?
I just read this article about " tight pants ban" and it has stirred a few questions in my mind. Please give your opinions.

1 What is the difference in " Burqa Ban" and this.
2 This only applies to " Muslims" but they ask others to respect it. Do you think this will inspire some women to just stop wearing hijab?
3 Dose anyone agree this is just too much?
4 Are other Muslimah's as tired as I am over all the drama about our clothes?
Of course I saved the best for last....
"Aceh, a semi autonomous region, made news last year when its provincial parliament passed an Islamic, or Shariah, law making adultery punishable by stoning to death. It also has imposed prison sentences and public lashings for homosexuals and pedophiles."
A "pedophile" receives lashings and prison sentence. Not! Stoning? Even the worst of criminals in prison don't accept pedophiles. I won't even mention the ( buffet ) homosexual part...
Do you agree this is completely backwards or is it just me?
Think Tanker.... Very simply Islam is Submission not force. Debate all you want but force only leads to rebellion. That is common sense. I don't believe my faith was part of the question.
Kells... did you notice this part......."I am not wearing sexy outfits, but they caught me like a terrorist only because of my jeans," said Imma, a 40-year-old housewife who uses only one name. She argued that wearing jeans is more comfortable when she travels by motorbike."
NOT wearing sexy outfits...
Be Good........ You seem to be mistaken. Unlike many here, I do NOT claim any sect. I submitt to Allah only and obey ALL of His Prophets. Call it what you want but I know what I am.
Be Good... Please explain this ayah...2:136 Say ye: "We believe in God, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them: And we bow to God (in Islam)."

Think Tanker.... In religion we all have the freedom of choice. Not from East West North or South governments but from Allah.
11:18 If thy Lord had so willed, He could have made mankind one people: but they will not cease to dispute.
Ahmed.... Hold on to your desk Brother, This may come as a shock to you, But I am a Muslim too. I just have my own mind and I do believe in freedom not because I am American... but because it is my right as a human.
Be Good... Once again.... I am not a Koranist or a Submitter. I have no idea why you have this notion that I do not obey the Prophet Muhammad...
