Thank you for taking your time to answer everyone's questions, including my own.
I have one more, and it's more curiosity than serious:
Isn't it unbelievably hot for women to walk around in all that clothing? I have seem a very few muslim women "out and about" in what I assume traditional dress, clothing to the floor, to the wrists, heads and faces covered and geez, I'm in Florida. For the heat index to be 102 and 85% humidity is not unusual. For me to wear a tank top and shorts the heat is oppressive. I can't begin to imagine how they wear all that clothing.
I've seen women out together, but I didn't see men with them. Am I confusing my religions? I thought there was something that a woman couldn't go out without a male member of their family as an escort.
