Um, last time I checked, wearing makeup and lipstick can attract the opposite sex and lead to fitna and goes against islam. Its not whether its permissable according to saudi monarchy law but according to islamic sharia. Women in islam are adviced to conceal their adornments and save it for their husbands in the privacy of their own homes. {And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof}[Quran 24:31] Anyway, this report just goes through one ear out the other, another media piece added to the 100s that are out there to suggest that islam is oppressive to women, stipulates her rights blah blah blah and the fact that we have differing views adds the icing to their cake. I.e It creates the notion that islam, rather than being a very simple religion that safeguards and upholds the dignity and honour of women, is one that does the opposite effect and causes confusion and controversy. I suggest all muslim women who immediately jump on the satanic bandwagon of "freedom" and "equal rights" to read the seerah of the ummal momeen and keep quiet! I applause the man who had the decency to inform her that she is enticing every man in the shopping centre, a few tears shed here will save her from a bucketful of tears for all of eternity in the akhira!
