This is an email I received:

asalam alaikom

Dear all brothers and sisters,
I wear khimar and niqaab, that means i cover all of me with very wide clothes including my face, and i live in muslim country nowadays, but it s sad to say that yesterday i ve been attacked while i was going to buy some things, a young man just took me from my arm and shake me, ,,,I wonder if here in a muslim country and me being a respectable niqaabi woman married and mother, 37 years old, they dont respect me, so what i m supposed to do???
i m really scared, world is turning really bad these days, Rabbena yahdina, ameen

wa alaikom asalam wr wb

Why doesn't that email ring true to me, i.e. this man just shook her? Why? What for? She didn't say. Maybe he was mentally ill :-\

P.S. Sorry if you know the sister personally.

May be it was only a confusion. The long clothes are not leaving men to identify correctly their woman quickly. I heard of a man who took in the plane his "wife" and only after few hours of flight when he tried to talk with she discovered the mistake - he took another woman. :-[

I agree! I think some people just circulate fabricated emails to try to prove some point. The reliability and validity of the emails are often non-existant.

lol poor man! Yes there is a possibility of what you mentioned. My own grandmother (in nikab) was mistaken for a young woman and followed by a lecherous male who offered to carry her shopping. :X

These things might happen, but then we have to think, "why?".

I know young women (in Pakistan) who leave the house with their niqabs down and lift them over their heads when they reach the shopping malls. They make eyes at men and behave flirtatiously, thus reducing the respect and haya aspect of nikab. No wonder some indecent men think that women in nikabs are just that "women in nikabs" and not pious women who are worthy of respect.

that could be a reason but i also think its lack of education as to the importance of respecting niqab. i know of many men who have the attitude that a woman wearing niqab is fine 'except she doesnt have to do it from me'.

Why do you stress that such incident can never happen in a Muslim country? There're in fact more street crimes in our country than in the civilized countries. In Muslim countries these days, parents give more stress on the teachings of Islamic fundamentals than on the teaching of civilized behavior. Ladies are not very much respected in the streets and bazars. Some men in the street keep using using fowl language loudly or scractch their private parts in public ignoring the presence of ladies. Some men even try to attack ladies when they find them in lonely places. Snatching purses and jewlery has become a day to day crime.

I don't know on what basis some people try to prove that this is a lie. This is how many criminals get away with their crimes exploiting the name of Islam even when they're caught red handed.

All ladies should be respected in any case. Our mothers, sisters and daughters are also ladies who have to go out with or without niqab. After all this society is their society as much as it's ours. If we don't respect all the ladies in general, then how could we expect that our mothers, sisters and daughters would be respected when they go out alone.
