Salaam,
If you state that the words in the Quran is manipulated, then you have to stand up for that before Allah, SWT, when your turn comes to meet Him. As a Muslimah I know the danger of stating things that I have no knowledge of, it is very clear for me, do you know what it means? It is a very dangerous way you have taken.
I gave you an historical explanation to the word KHIMAR, which was well known to the people during the time that the Quran was revealed. I see that you have no bigger interest in facts, you want to make other interpretations. But you must bear in mind that you cannot read the Quran in the way that you like, since it is Allah, SWT, that has made the decision HOW to reveal it to us and what words it shall contain.
Why dont you let us Muslims follow the Words of Allah, SWT, since it is we that feel blessed that He has chosen us to follow His Message? If we want to obey His command to wear the hijab, why dont you let us do that in peace? Isnt that what you write everytime you write on this forum? Peace? Are you unhappy that we feel blessed and content with the blessings of Islam? For us to obey our Creator is the highest blessing we can reach. For us that is happiness and peace.
Consider the word peace or salaam again - join us in finding out the truth of Islam, by mutual respect and with the willingness to learn. That WILL bring peace in mind and in the heart. If you cannot do that, it may be better to take a step backwards and take a break. For the sake of peace.
Salaam
