Assalamualaikum,
I would like to know everybody's opinion. I live in singapore and it is a very multi-racial country. The government emphasizes on strict racial and religious tolerence and we are encouraged to have dialogues between the races. So i had read one of these dialogues about the differences between muslims. The was this one chinese lady she noted that some of the muslim women here are wearing the hijab while some do not and she commented that that those who are wearing the hijab are those practice islam or those who abide strictly to the religion while those who do not adorn the hijab are moderate muslim.
The thing that shocked me the most is the idea of moderate and strict muslims. In my opinion there is no such thing in islam and all muslims are obligated to follow the the rules that allah has set through the prophet muhammad p.b.u.h as it is the best for them.
Thus i would like to know all your kind opinions and also how would all of you react if you are confronted with that kind of situation.
wassalam.
