**You know I think the problem is with muslims. **I wear hijab and attend go to school, plus i have had jobs. When nonmuslim men see me in a hijab they keep their distance. I have nonmuslim guy friends but they know where the line is. I have never told them. Classmates and men I have encountered while I am working are the same way. They are very respectful and professional with me. However, Muslim many men tend to get overly friendly with me. They probably think since we are both muslims, its okay to develop that close relationship.

Moreover, I think Muslims place too much emphasis on the teachings of scholars. If you study the Quran and life of the Holy Prophet, you can come to your own conclusions about Islam, you dont need to get a scholars opinion about most things, Purdah included. But thats just me.

As for you saying that we shouldnt adapt to changes in society. In my opnion if Islam is a message for all of mankind and time, then Islam should be able to adapt to various people and time because like I said society evolves, and there are so many different types of people and cultures in the world. Just because you adapt Islam according to needs today doesnt mean you are changing Islam. If the purpose of Purdah is to hide to keep chaste and discourage relationships before marriage, you can still do practice Purdah while keeping these ideals alive and interacting with the world. I mean if someone wants to commit sin, Purdah or lack of Purdah isnt going to stop them.

First you made a sweeping statement of saying the problem is with muslims. Not sure why.

I see the essence of your post but these last two sentences are contradictory.

Not arguing but there is such a thing like freedom of choice.

No one should shove a religious understanding on other in these small matters.

Different point of views can co-exist. As long as basics requirements are fulfilled.

Yes, women who do purdah are seen as low class, brainless, and oppressed women and that needs to be changed or tackled.
