Why, in Islam, men and women do not cover their bodies in the same manner?
The difference between men's physical structure and that of women is an unquestionable axiom to all people, simply because men's swimsuits differ from those of women in the West. A woman completely covers her body to ward off temptation, but has anybody ever heard of a woman charged with raping a man? Women, in the West, go on demonstrations demanding their right to have a secure life free of harassment and rape which they lack; however, we have never heard of similar demonstrations held by men.
Extremism, fanaticism, and bigotry are nothing but qualities that are basically forbidden by the right religion. The Noble Qur’an urges people in many verses to be gentle and merciful, pardoning and forgiving.
Allah Almighty guided all His slaves to the way of salvation and He does not approve of disbelief for them. However, He does not love the wrong attitude itself that man adopts by disbelief or causing corruption on earth.
As for the angels, they are great creatures of Allah. They were created from light and have a natural disposition to goodness. They obey the commands of Allah Almighty, exalt Him, and worship Him without ever getting bored or tired.
Islam calls for good morals and prohibits evil deeds. Thus, the reason behind bad conduct of some Muslims is their cultural customs or their ignorance of their religion and their distance from the sound religion.
