Why aren't Nuns considered Opressed?

I personally dont seem to understand why people claim that the Muslim women are being "forced" and "oppressed" to cover their bodies, while a Christian nun is considered "pure" and "pious". If you look at the way a Muslimah covers her body and a Nun covers her body it is the SAME. Every part of the Muslimah's body and the nun body is covered maybe not in the same manner but those parts being the hair, neck, arms, legs,etc. they are covered.





So why isn't the Nun looked at as being oppressed? And why is the Muslimah not looked at as being pious and true to Islam?
It doesnt make sense and look at the Christain's imagery of the Virgin Mary (Maryam)


does she not wear hijab?
I just dont understand nuns and Muslimah both cover so if you are saying that a Muslimah is oppressed because she follows her religion and covers her body then it is only fair that you say a Christian nun is also oppressed because she too is following her religion and covering her body....right?

I am not attacking Christanity I just want people to look and understand that the Nun's and the Muslimah's attire are basically the same. Just because one is Christian and the other Muslim isnt a excuse because both are covered in the same manner and both are following their religion.
With that being said why in society is the Muslimah looked at as oppressed while the Nun isnt? Does that make sense?

WOW
Assalimu Alaikum Sister Mila
Hey do u want me to pass out with the post??
Sister you are telling the truth on this yet again. Sister sometimes when i got out to the markets, sister they look at me like im about to do something really bad. I have seen a Nun in the markets and people crowd around her like she is a saint and want to touch and admire her.

Assalimu Alaikum to the forum.

Wow sister mila this is a great point sister, this is so true. Sister as far as i can see with the pic's you posted, sister mila i only see that BIG CROSS around that nun's neck. But as for me sometimes i highlight my hajib with a neckles, ROFL
Sorry hope not to offend others, Insha Allah
