I converted to Islam last year. First of all, no where in any source does it say that women must veil their faces. Wearing a head scarf (which I don't do, fyi) and dressing modestly (which I usually do) is considered obligatory.
Secondly, I get so peeved when people (Americans particularly) change their names when they convert to sound more Arab. If someone converted to Christianity and renamed herself, people would think she was a quack.
Thirdly, there is no way she could safely drive w/ a niqab (veil) on. It's hard enuf for me to drive w/ a hat on or something. Honestly, I get so pissed sometimes that people try to make things so difficult. This "Sultana" lady is giving baaaaaaad PR for all Muslims. The majority of us are normal every day people and our lives are made far more difficult by jokers like this.
