Having multiple wives has been authorized in the Bible in many places. Muslims don't consider coverings "hiding." You don't have to go far back in history to see covering in Christianity. <<not hiding from the world but facing it and having the inner strength to resist it>> This is what Muslims believe they are not allowed to practice Monasticism for this reason. I'm not criticizing your religion. It looks like, however, that you are expressing your loyalty to modern culture and patriotism to the Western way of life, more than Biblical principles. With respect, brees

wallstreeter, <<this is hypocrisy.i never understood why women have to cover themselves up. I have my catholic faith and no woman on this planet can tempt me.thats what faith is all about ,not hiding from the world but facing it and having the inner strength to resist it.>> You don't find anything judgemental in this. It certainly feels like peer pressure. Is this another way of saying, "skin to win?" Why do, people cover when they visit the Pope? Hypocrisy, hiding...I would never say so but how do you justify the above in light of that?
