I found this interesting letter written by Mustayeen Ahmed Khan published in Newsweek's December 25, 2006/January 1, 2007. It printed this…
ONE ERROR STANDS OUT PROMINENTLY in what is otherwise a very rational essay by Denis MacShane ("No Problem With the Veil," Oct.30). "You can hunt high and low in the Qur'an, they tell me," he writes, "and find no dress code." And the same view is repeated in the picture caption: "Dress code: The Qur'an says nothing about it." Indeed, the full burqa and the part veil, niquab, are not mentioned in the Qur'an and I believe that they represent, more or less, culture and tradition. However, the Qur'an does enjoin a dress code that is modest, not at all provocative and can, of course, be practiced without its extreme form of the full burqa or even the part veil. "Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and be modest…And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only that which is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment save to their own" (Qur'an: 24: 30-31).
A lot has been mis-interpreted (in Qur'an) – you have to read and understand beyond what is written.
Well, I still stand to what I believe...religion is very personal, it's between you and God. It does not and will not involve anybody else. So, why do people get involve in something that doesn't or can't or won't involved them at all. Today, in life and after life. Shouldn't they be introspecting themselves rather than interrogating and false finding in other peoples life and believes???
