Is this going to far or is this just the right measure?

A Muslim cleric in Saudi Arabia has called on women to wear a full veil, or niqab, that reveals only one eye.

Sheikh Muhammad al-Habadan said showing both eyes encouraged women to use eye make-up to look seductive.

The question of how much of her face a woman should cover is a controversial topic in many Muslim societies.

The niqab is more common in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, but women in much of the Muslim Middle East wear a headscarf which covers only their hair.

Sheikh Habadan, an ultra-conservative cleric who is said to have wide influence among religious Saudis, was answering questions on the Muslim satellite channel al-Majd.

Are these men so depraved that ANYTHING is "seduction" to them?

I personally think its a health and safety hazard only seeing with one eye.

Either cover whole face with that net that people can see out of or reveal face.

The road to hell is paved with the obsession with sex and seduction. Now the niqab ain't enough, you've got to blacken out one eye too. When anyon eis so obsessed with sexuality, there're usually issues beneath. . .

These people are getting too excited

i HAVE BEEN THERE DONE THAT, i USED TO WEAR THE NIQAAB, SOME OF MY FRIENDS WORE THE ONE EYE.

RIDICULOUS IF YOU ASK ME.

Muslim women are not required to cover their face and hands.

remember,

"Verily, this religion (of ours) is simple and easy to follow; whoever makes it hard will only be overwhelmed by it."

well said. We just need to be careful with what some people come out to preach all in the name of Islam.

Mustay:

It is a statement of the prophet (as). But it is an explanation of Quranic verses "Muslims of Muhammad is a nation of middle course, not extreme in either case, unlike the christians who are to open that human becomes God and no reparcursion for anything, while the Jews are so hard that they exclude almost everybody from possibility of having mercy since God becomes a tribal thing! Niqab at best is a sunnah, copying the household of the prophet. it is however not a commandment in the Quran for all muslim women, who are required to cover all that have to be covered in Salah, and thats all.
