Er, that's the same response a lot of people used for why they are Catholic. "Because God loves me and wants me to love him" how do you know that?

As another posted pointed out there are the hijabs, but there's also those long gowns that almost look nun like. A lot of the Somalian Muslim women that live around here wear them. I feel kind of sorry for them,it can get up to 36 degrees with horrid humidity down here and black attracts the sun!

It gets to 36 degrees in New Zealand?

I found the responses to this question somewhat vague, but I have two Muslim friends and I would never dare ask them this question in the first place.

If I got agro every time someone took the name of the Lord in vane, I would be in a punch up everyday! Many Muslims are just as tolerant of the rudeness of others.

I have a Muslim friend who wears the hijab, she has them in all sorts of colours and shades and patterns and I feel kind of jealous at times because I hate my hair and if I wouldn't look like a racist I'd shave it all of.

They are probably not that hot... I used to belong to an order that wears a dark brown habit, and it's actually cooler than having your skin exposed directly to the humidity.
