[quote][quote][quote]The analogy is, you say, well Allah says cover the chest with the head scarf. So that means we can take off the scarf and only cover our chest.[/quote]

I did not say take off the head scarf.

There are two possibilites:
1) the head scarf was being used to cover the head
2) the head scarf was just used as a decorative ornament and not to cover the head

IF case 1 is true, then you should continue using it as head cover + cover the chest also with it

IF case 2 is true, then just cover the chest

In any case, it is no requirement to cover the head otherwise it would have been CLEARLY mentioned.

I have made it clear, I think Allah wants us to dress modestly, and there are not very many specifics In the holy Quran as to how. So it leaves it up to us to do our best.

Any person with common sense knows that uncovering the navel area or thighs is not modest[/quote]

Navel or thigh is not modest?  And this is from common sense?  So you agree that Allah has not specifically stated that you must cover them... so what if my common sense is not like yours and I say actually there is nothing wrong with uncovering my navel?

And lets turn it around again.  what if my common sense, and that of the majority states that it is modest to cover the head?

Oosman, Allah was specific in the way he dealt with modesty in dress.  you just want it to be specific in YOUR style of: -

cover your: -

head, neck, shoulders, chest, arms, stomach, rear end, privates, thighs, knees, lower legs and ankles.

My article proves, when you take all of it into consideration that head covering is mandatory.
