i think thats more overseas. i live in america, here its rare to see nuns, or those that are that devoted. but subhanAllah, this only comes as proof that their faith demanded a type of modesty from them!
my mother in law used to be a nun, she used to dress just like that too. then she 'quit nun-hood'.... im not too sure how that works lol. but when she saw me in hijab and abayah she was shocked because she said that she used to dress like that as a nun, so she thought i was some type of deep dedicated spiritual leader of some sort!
its because we're muslims, and the media is out to exploit us.
i saw a commercial the other day that got me so furious, it was a fund to raise money to protect israel. they said that the muslim jihadists were gaining money and would try and defeat israel so they were asking for money to help the israelis, as if they dont have enough. they made the muslims seem so blood thirsty and symbolically showed them as flies eating the israeli flag. but yet they cant show all that happen in filisteen? a'udhu billah, what goes on in israel is barely a small fraction of everyday life in filisteen. its all propaganda
So, why do media be bias on muslim womens wearing hijab? Muslims womens are not the only one wearing head scarves in this world.
Nuns don't go throwing insults towards women that don't dress in that particular way.
Nuns don't go working in factories, shops, police forces or even demand the rights to wear one here and there, during football for example. Nuns don't ask for special privileges. It's not a nice site seeing people hid behind the veil in the streets

Muslim women don't either. They just want their own rights.

So what if they don't? Muslim women have the right to work and wear what they feel comfortable in.

Well that's just your opinion, some people dont like seeing mini skirts either.
Except uncovered, immodestly dressed people in the street which is a whole lot worse - If you dont like seeing veiled women, then look away
The best option would to ban it... It just causes problems :X

Don't give me that. I've heard many, many muslims insult non muslim women for not dressing in their manner. I hear it all the time, even on here.

And non muslims have the right to work and feel comfortable in the environment they are working in. How can we take anyone seriously if they are hiding behind a rag?

Not all non muslims wear mini-skirts, in fact you don't see many women in mini skirts, just the odd tart or two but hey.

I've heard many non muslim men saying that muslim women shouldn't wear the clothes they choose to wear. Wonder what's up with that. What's it to them anyway.

Who's stopping them? And how can we take someone seriosly if there just wearing a string for example?

Well i can guess that they're more women in UK who wear mini skirts than women who wear the niqaab.
the Bible says that women are to cover their heads when entering church. which is why if you go to many Catholic/Orthodox Churches, you will see many, many women with veils on.
however, women in Christianity don't have to veil themselves at all times.. Just while at church.
most days when you go to a Catholic/Orthodox Church, the elderly will have veils on, but the younger generations cease to.
sadly, protestants have went and made their own policies and twisted scripture to fit their own views.
in italy, covering your head was essential and part of the culture until probably as late as the 50's. same thing in portugal.
so yeah, although christians aren't required to cover their heads all the time, it's been a major part of our past! although, we(christians) have always been more liberal, and don't make people, and we don't make it cover everything, like their eyes and all.

With every reason. In this world identification is important. As I've said before if someone robs your purse/wallet/handbag, shoots someone and runs off you could go straight to the police station and give them a visual description of what they look like which would be hugely beneficial in capturing the criminal. If they're hiding behind a veil what can you say?

Complete exaggeration. Anyone dressed in that manner at work would be sent home by their employer.

Narrated by Abu Huraira (ra): The Prophet said, "Faith (Belief) consists of more than sixty branches (i.e. parts). And Haya (This term "Haya" covers a large number of concepts which are to be taken together; amongst them are self respect, modesty, bashfulness, and scruple, etc.) is a part of faith." (Bukhari)
The Bedouin asked: 'What are the best deeds in eyes of Allah?' whereupon the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: ' Gentle manners, modesty and patience.'
O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks ("Jalabib") veils all over their bodies (screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way Tafseer Al-Qurtabi) that is most convenient that they should be known (as such) and not molested: and Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful." Surah Al-Ahzaab, Verse #59
"Whoever lives amongst you will see much differing, so adhere to my Sunnah" Muhammad (صلّى الله عليه و سلم)
