You can take your shroud and stay the H-e-double hockey sticks out of my country and my area of the planet. They look like a walking corpse when wearing them.

Covering up their faces and bodies is a GOOD thing for many of them. Not all women on this good earth are young, slender, good-figured and attractive.

Modesty isn’t covering your hair up which according to The Bible is a woman’s glory. For a women to be beautiful isn’t a shame. It is a shame when a woman is immodest and exploits sexuality in inappropriate ways. A woman being beautiful shouldn’t cause a decent man “problems” unless she is being immodest.

You said it.
YOUNG men, however, are hard-wired a bit differently than older men and women. They...well, you know what I mean.

Saudi women's passport had them with their veil ON.
UNCLEAR on the concept.

Things might be different now. One would hope.

I agree with what you said, and stated very well. Women used to wear scarves on their head all the time. Modest dress and demeanor was the sign one was a lady or gentleman.

They're either encouraging women to dress like hookers for their tastes or to completely cover up because of muslims. They can't possibly co-exist.
