First of all I would like to greet everyone as I post my first reply in this forum!
Second of all I want to tell you guys that I have found the level of expected western athiest ignorance on these forums towards islam and hence I am taking it upon myself to clear this cloud of stereotypes and lack of understanding.
As to the matter of this topic here are the facts in points:
1) Islam requires a woman to wear a head scarf and wear decent clothes (cover her arms, legs and body) this doesn't mean they should wear a nazguls' costume in the process. I will tell you the origin of that latter on.
2) Not wearing a head scarf after adulthood is sinful but it mustn't be enforced by ANYONE on the woman. A husband should though as his wife to wear it only to absolve himself from blame before god.
3) the nazgul costume is a tradition dating back before islam in the arab penincella and then made its way to the religious tradition falsely. But god didn't ask for it.
Don't blame islam for the follies of muslims.
