A Muslim woman wears hijab for the simple reason that God has commanded it in the Quran and Sunna. As Muslims we make the testimony "Muhammad is the messenger of God". The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would not be a messenger if he did not come with a message, and his message is the Quran. Therefore, we are really saying "The Quran is the message of God". Our faith in God motivates us to obey God's message and that is why we follow what God has commanded in the Quran.
That is the explanation.

In what year and month did the Taliban force Hindu women to veil their faces as other afghan women do?
The Hindu women are not living in Afghanistan, neither are they required to veil their faces. The Taliban forced the Muslim women to wear Burqas, covering their faces. This happened in the early 1990s, 1991 or 1992. The Taliban who control parts of Pakistan are operating in parts without a Hindu minority, so it is not applicable there either.

What were the Differences between Hitler and Saddam?
There are many, many of these differences. The two people were from very different time periods. Also, Saddam Hussein was an Iraqi Arab, Hitler was a naturalized German whose family came from Austria. Saddam Hussein did not give orders to kill as many people as Hitler gave orders to kill. As a traditional Arab person, Saddam Hussein cared a lot about making sure that the people with the most power were mostly close relatives of his, from the same clan as him. Hitler did not care very much about what FAMILY people were from, but instead, he used other ways to judge how much power people should have. Many times, Saddam Hussein gave orders that people in his own family should be killed. Hitler never did this. Also, Saddam sometimes punished people by killing them himself, Hitler did not. Saddam had children, and liked to have sex. Hitler did not have children, and almost never wanted to have anything to do with women. Both of them ordered the use of poison gas in battle, but only Hitler was himself *hurt* by poison gas in battle, in World War I. Hitler was convicted of a crime and spent time in prison -- he came to power only after he was released from prison. By contrast, Saddam was convicted of crimes, spent time in prison, and was put to death, but this was only after he lost power. Saddam was put to death by hanging because he was convicted in a court. Hitler was not put to death by anybody, but committed suicide by shooting himself. There was a time when Hitler wanted to be a writer and an artist. By contrast, there was a time when Saddam Hussein wanted to be a writer, but Saddam Hussein never thought about becoming an artist.

Does anyone ever see a Muslims face?
Almost no Muslim men cover their faces. (If they do, it is for non-religious reasons such as putting on a mask to hide one's identity, etc.) Most Muslim women do show their face, either by wearing no headscarf or by wearing a hijaab or abaya/chador which leaves the entire face exposed. As concerns Muslim women who cover their faces in public, they will relax the covering in front of a group of all women or in front of men who are their close relations and thus unsuitable for marriage. I, as a non-Muslim, have seen Muslim faces.
