Something that really buggs me about MOST of the muslim women that are mohajabat specially...when they are in KSA they are all covered up when they travel all that changes which shocked me (even my kids where like mama what was that) ....
in general most of the muslim women are mohajabat for the sake of the triditions or because the parents wants them too...

Very true!  My first trip back to the USA on Saudia Airlines was a real eye-opener.  About half-way to DC, many Saudis (both men and women) were entering the bathrooms dressed in traditional Saudi garb and when then came out.. VOILA!  I was like, who IS that?  They'd changed into western clothing!

Well, that's mostly true here in Saudi Arabia, where covering is a must since young age, it's more traditional than religious. Nothing buggs me more than that, coz it's hypocrisy, specially when saudi MEN won't let their wife(s) even show her/their face(s) here, while she can wear mini skirts anywhere else. But please let me correct you, true muslims and true mohajjabat will never do that, cause when a woman truely understands Islam and why she should be wearing it, nothing on earth will make her take it off. I hate how these poeple give a wrong image of amazing Islam!

The impression I get here from talking to Saudi women is that nobody trusts Saudi men, not even Saudi men!  That's what all the covering is about.

I personally know women including my wife, that wear 4+ inch heels on a daily basis, and have no health risks, and can outperform me in running and other activities.


Shall i list all the items california says causes cancer and turn your argument against you? Im sure you consume or use a large number of the items as does other.

Hi,I have read your post long time ago and was quite suprised with your strong answer about not much harm done if women wears high heel shoes, and wanted to share my knoledge about high heels . which does not support your opinion. it is veery bad for your feet from physiological side. especially simptoms of it is easily notisable if woman waers it  for 4-6 hours every day. if you don't trust me  or info in google (where is plenty of info about it)take a consultation from a specialist. I do suggest it because your wife is damaging her health,and if you think nothing happening today it will happen one day. We are living in consumer society and so many seller don't care about us or our health as long they make money out of it and high heel shoes and othe unhealthy type of shoes are in this category .

To be fare , I want to say that nowhere in the world you will find a community that is following its teachings 100% including saudis they are people just like us and trying their best to understand islam and practice it ,and ofcourse like anywhre its a struggle and challenge.

There are also studies that say running shoes are bad for you and hurt you as well.

Point is moot.
