Mohammad, thank you. how i know or knew? I knew cuz I am married to a Arab Muslim who knows, & teaches me: I have been in many muslim countries, and have read the quran. I am not just saying like I am a Westerner...You need to educate yourself about what is the difference between tribal traditions and what is in Islam.
Covering the face....Just old tribal traditions being passed down... doesnt make mean it's Islam required and in the Quran. Many Muslim women who speak on woman's rights, even say, they are brain-washed by MEN at very early age to wear these clothes, and memorize, memorize, memorize the quaran.

Salam, it should be personal choice not forced.
