Your previous post:
"Unfortunately", there are laws about beards, hijaab, niqaab which all talks about attire. Appearance. And which only apply to Muslims. So to say there should not be any laws whatsoever, we, Muslims have laws that Allaah has command upon us. So what is insulting here is you commenting about those laws - either laws that command/forbid, as you always put it.
Also about you mentioning we should do other more beneficial things. Well to advice and spread the responsibility to every Muslim to wear modestly is an IMPORTANT matter. And thank you, but we know which are important matters to us in terms of deen and which aren't.
The freedom that you fail to see which do not apply to Muslims are the one that you said anyone can wear whatever they want. As I have said this dozen of times, as a Muslims, we have laws to adhere to, laws that come from The Almighty God Allaah subhanahu wa Ta'ala. So to say that, OK, one can be a Muslim but can wear miniskirts or tops that expose much of their skins are WRONG. Why? Because she is a Muslim. A Muslim has her own responsibility not just to her family, society or to herself but most important to Allaah.
So that kind of freedom, we do not tolerate with it. And to say that, since everyone has their own freedom, and so a Muslim can drink, fornicate, lies etc are also not acceptable. Perhaps for you we are not to be judgmental. Yes, we are not to be judgmental to others but in Islaam it has draw the line on how far you can "judge". If a sister in Islaam is doing something against the faith, the other sister is to advice her to repent. Not just saying, oh, its her bussiness, let her do whatever she wants.
You know, the more I read your post, the more I see that you are mixing up everything and that you are confuse even from the fundamentals part. And it comes down to one question: What is your intention coming to this forum? Was it merely to seek Islamic knowledge [if so, may God increase your knowledge and guide you to the straight path] or simply to "share" your ideology of freedom that you embrace?
Why don't you try browsing, reading and understanding the fundamentals of our faith - about aqeedah, tawheed, imaan. Did you browse through those threads?
There should not be any laws about beards or clothing at all, it should be up to all people to decide for themselves what sort of beards, if any, or what sort of clothing, if any, that they want to wear.

The people who are so worried about other people's beards or clothing, or lack thereof, need to find something more important to do with their time than passing such laws. I'd recommend their cleaning out the dust from between their toes, to start with. When they are done with that, I'm sure I can find several thousand other things for them to do, all of which are of far greater importance than worrying about other people's beards or garments, or the lack there-of. IMHO, human beings of normal intelligence ought to mature beyond the point of constant worrying about the beards and clothing of other people, including making laws about such things, by the time they are 20 or so. But perhaps maturity standards are different in Gaddafi's and Mubarak's family.

I fail to see how my version of freedom does not apply to Muslims, since included in my version of freedom, as I have stated many times, is the right of Muslims to dress and grow beards as they see fit. It simply doesn't include anything that will allow Muslims to tell OTHER people how to dress, any more than it includes anything that will allow Gaddafi (or anyone else) to tell Muslims how to dress.
