As Salam Alykom
Well Jennifer, u have a point in almost everything u said. We are not behaving as Muslims almost any where. For instance, here in Egypt, if a woman wants to join deplomatic corps, she can not be wearing Hijab. Yes it is a government rule, but if all women would simply refuse to join under such conditions, I believe the rule shall be changed. And what if it does not change. So what if they can not have access to such positions. Brothers and sisters, the media here in the ME actually corrupted women's standards. They are torn. Torn between Islamic duties and world temptation. US is spending that much to destroy Islam. Actually we are not helping much to put this into a halt.
Let us just make dua much dua for this Ummah to WAKE UP before it is too late. We even must start with ourselves each in his/her relevant community, because dua only is not enought we must be determined to change.
إن الله لا يغير ما بقوم حتى يغيروا ما بأنفسهم
