To be a good faithful muslim there are lots of important things that you have to do such as praying, fasting, hajj, abstinence from alcohol and not eating pork and other stuff, and hijab (which is covering your hair and body by any types of cloth) is one of them.
It does not mean wearing a abayaa or veil which are traditional dresses for the Gulf countries and some other arabic/muslim countries which women in these countries feel they have to wear and when they go abroad they take it off!
It is a requirement for muslim women to wear hijab but as with other muslim commitments e.g praying some muslims do not commit to it. In islam you are responsible for your own actions, god has given you a mind to think with and guidance has been given to you through the quran.
As such i believe MUSLIM women should have the choice to whether to wear a hijab or not; as long as she knows the quranic guidance and thus should not be judged as long as she dresses modestly (i.e no mini skirts or shorts or low cut tops). At the same time women who choose to wear a hijab should be respected for that, same way jewish men wear their hat (yarmulke), jewish women wear wigs, sheik who cover their heads, nuns who cover their heads etc it is a religious choice and should be respected!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I as a true muslim believer expect people to respect my believes as i do respect other people's believes, to be treated and respected as a person and not judged by how i dress or look.
