Then, I would say that whomever stated that, was not educated on Islam. And, I am certainly no expert....I came here to learn more myself.

On a positive note.....while I can see how frustrating it would be to be misunderstood (believe me, christians and westerners are just as misunderstood and I get frustrated too), I would like to point out the silver lining in this fundamental misunderstanding. If westerners think something is oppressive to muslims and they speak out against it.....it is because they care about the rights of the muslim women/individuals. And, if they think the veil in oppressive, it is because they have been misinformed. So, in a strange sort of way.....they say what they say because they want muslim women to be treated with respect and dignity. This isn't a bad thing, is it?

The best thing you can do is what I try to do and that is to educate those who do not understand things about my way of life.
