I think it is sad that people and men in particular go and kill their wives daughters and sisters because they think wearing a strict uniform is the only way their women can be religious and on the "right" path. I would like to ask that man : does Allah forgive murderers?
I know women who live in North America and do not wear hijabs and yet they are often much more respectable and "naaik" than some who do have the "right apparel".
It is not for men to judge who is right and who is wrong, that is God's work. I dont know why people dont understand that their job is to teach their children and show them the right path and make them understand logically not by force... and then have faith in them to know and do the right thing.
You dont have to wear a hijab to be virtuous.

diarox, yaar these things are not so simple. They might make YOU personally sad but that doesn't mean others shouldn't be allowed to do them. And if it is not for men to judge others then it seems odd seeing so many rush to judgment in such cases.

O Haider, the Knight-at-arms, you have perhap not met any 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci' yet or I wouuld have asked you in Keat's words:

"O WHAT can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge has wither’d from the lake,
And no birds sing."
