Today there is a pervasive misconception that hijab automatically equals modesty, but I couldn’t disagree more. Hijab is a concerted effort towards modesty but by no means does one wearing hijab automatically become modest. Modesty, after all, is a disposition, an ATTITUDE. You can wear hijab and act completely immodest or you can not wear hijab and exude it from your head to your feet. In fact, some of the most modest women I know do not wear hijab and increasingly I’m beginning to see many girls who wear hijab yet do not dress or act very modestly. So, it’s not so black and white.… http://seekersguidance.org/blog/2010/05/muslim-women-cant-we-all-just-get-along-sr-hosai-mojaddidi/
Leave men out of this and discuss. Don’t say we didn’t let you speak.

My only question with the Burqa thing is (where you cover your face)...how do you eat pizza in public? or how do you eat in public at all? Do you eat in public?

There was no mention of burqa in that article... =)
To answer your question since I do wear a niqab.. If I do happen to eat out, I lift up my face cover and eat. But the whole point of niqab is modesty, so I wouldn't be eating out anyway. Hope that answers your question.
It said something about 10 yards of fabric, so i just assumed. So eating out is immodest?
No but to a niqabi like me, the whole point of a niqab is a means of modesty, if I eat out, I will be uncovering myself, so the means of modesty is shot dead right there. To avoid it, I don't eat out. Hope that answers your query.
Sir Wearing Hijab is The Order of ALLAH dont try prove more smart than ALLAH he also knows a person can be immodest in hijab too but he has ordered to wear HIJAB form some reasons

Ji yar, nobody is saying otherwise. We're discussing the attitudes amongst the women (hijabi and non-hijabi). Nothing more :)
cricketplaya, the whole time i thought u were a guy :S
out of these women, you tell me, who is more modest?
a woman that wear a hijab on her head, so that none of her hair shoes. But she wears skinny jeans with shirts and wear 3/4 lengths sleeves, or sleeves up to her elbow.
a woman that does not wear a hijab on her head. But she wears clothing that is not tight and never exposes her arms.
Woman #1 justifies herself saying that she is at least wearing the hijab and her hair is not showing, and therefore is fulfilling her dean.
Woman #2 thinks that covering ur head is not the only requirement in fulfilling your deen.
(these are just examples of some woman..not hijabis are like woman #1, and not all non-hijabs are like Woman #2)

2 period. but true say not all in both groups are same..etc and I'm a niqabi, never said I was a woman.
some niqabis judge some hijabis because they dont cover their face and wear abaya. Also they judge hijabis becaue they do their eyebrows and wear makeup
some hijabis judge some non-hijabis because they don't wear the hijab, but only wear it to religious occasions and to the masjid.
some hijabis judge niqabis because they think they are extremists and wearing a niqab is not fardh
some non-hijabis judge hijabis because even though they wear the hijab, half of the stuff they do in their daily life is not considered "halal", and just because they wear the hijab, they think they know the alif to yaa about Islam.
what can you do? I'd say embrace them all...everyoen is different in terms of their Islam. You never know what are people's intentions and what is in their heart.
"The best among you is the one who behaves best toward people." [Al-Bayhaqi]
so dont be haters of anyone...love one another.
btw, the same can be said for men as well...the long beards, the trimmed beards..the no beards.
My only question with the Burqa thing is (where you cover your face)...how do you eat pizza in public? or how do you eat in public at all? Do you eat in public?
I think they just lift up the little flap thing and eat a tiny bit at a time.. I know some niqaabis only eat at restaurants with private rooms but not as tho there are many..
I always wonder what happens when they go on Hajj cos I know it's haram to cover the face whilst there.. Do the women not feel uncomfortable after always being covered or do most of them still keep it on anyway

Pizaa is food of kuffar, astagfarullah ...
you can eat gannay ,, just insert one end inside your naqaab and chew all day long

And can you point us to that order? You can post the text from Quran with translation where the order is given.
That was so random, but hilarious 
If men can wear pink long shirts (skirts), why not niqabs.
