Modest is Beautiful Just ask Britain's Susan Boyle

Dressing Modestly is Beautiful and if you want a Britain's opinion just ask Susan Boyle. Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle has created a sensation with her beautiful voice and Modest dress. The media wants her to have a makeover. What is wrong with dressing Modestly? Dressing Modestly is beautiful and there is no reason for Susan Boyle to change, she is lovely just the way she is.

The media thinks everyone agrees with them. Muslims are just some of those who don't. Even non-Muslims are asking retailers to please make modest clothing. It is just crazy that people think you cannot be beautiful by dressing Modestly. It is just not true. It is more important what is in your heart than what is shown outside to the world.

Allah, God, Buddha, whomever you believe most will agree that you should dress conservatively. The Media needs to change.

If nothing else may the rest of us learn from Susan Boyle that dressing Modestly is just fine. Maybe the media will catch on with this idea, anything is possible.

Muslim American Women most highly educated females Paving the way for others

According to a recent gallop poll http://www.gallup.com/

Gender Equality Between American Muslim Men and Women

The report reveals that Muslim American women are one of the most highly educated female religious groups in the United States, second only to Jewish American women. In addition, as a group, Muslim Americans have the highest degree of economic gender parity at the high and low ends of the income spectrum.

Way to go Muslim Women ! American Muslim men and women also reported to have similar monthly household income. Very interesting poll. It looks like Muslim Women are doing much better in the United States and reaping much more benefits due to the Gender Equality enjoyed in the United States. Good news for those immigrating to the US and for future generations.

Muslim American women are equally as likely as men to say they attend mosque at least once a week, which stands in sharp contrast to the trend seen in some predominantly Muslim countries where men are more likely than women to report attending a religious service in the last week.

The freedom American Muslim Women enjoy definitely has its benefits. Many countries are still following old time standards which basically hold back Women. It is good to see that Muslim Women have gained the same rights as other American Women have. It just goes to prove that Women are and should equal to Men. Gender makes no difference in how smart you are and when Women have the same education as Men do they are equally intelligent as Men.

The 70's in the United States brought much in helping American Women obtain these rights and Muslim American Women are enjoying those same rights. Perhaps the Middle Eastern Countries will eventually catch up and update their strict rules that are holding their Women back. The United States is helping to prove that given the chance these Mid Eastern Women could definitely measure up to the Mid Eastern Men.

Can Middle Eastern Men handle it? Can Middle Eastern Women gain the respect, education and rights that American Muslim Women enjoy? Here's hoping they do. It is only fair and after all American Muslim Women are paving the way by showing other countries that they can.

Interesting Website

Interesting Website: http://www.cair.com/

This is an interesting site if you are having any problems. Some ladies have had trouble at work and are told they need to choose either the hijab or their job. This is not right and is against their Civil liberties. There was also a recent case in Atlanta where a judge had a women escorted out for refusing to take off her hijab. This is simply not right. Wearing a hijab should not be different than wearing any other article of clothing or accessories like jewelry or a head band. This site has some other useful information so you may want to check it out. Good luck out there the world can be rough!
