Women's beautiful eyes, other where else are covered. =)
I want to know why some women wear all black, some are not. Does the color of clothes tell something?

Islam - intolerance; women treated like second class citizens; the murder of children and women; hijacked airliners full of innocent civilians crashed into office towers full of innocent civilians.
This is more the image of Islam today.

If muslims are forbided to drink wine because wine could damage neurones in the brain, how about drugs? Such like marijuana or things like it. Are muslims forbided to take drugs? From my knowledge, some muslim counturies sell marijuana world wide in order to earn a lot of money.

well yes islam forbid taking drugs and anything that make a person addicted...because addiction destroy the human and God does not want that to happen...

by that i do not say that all muslims do as the Islam say because like any other believers they do not follow everthing in Islam...

I know the Hui minority. And actually, The Hui ethnic group is one of China's largest ethnic minorities. There is a sizable population of 8.61 million in the Hui minority group in China. People of Hui origin can be found in most of the counties and cities throughout the country, especially in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.
