Dress of Muslim Women

Submitted by Robin (Australia), Aug 16, 2009 at 09:35

It used to always make me chuckle in the UAE when I'd see some Indonesian or Lebanese muslim women with skin tight jeans, a tight top (and nice breasts pushing out of the top) and every part of their head covered (except the face).

I know what turns me on and it sure as hell isn't hair. And fortunately, despite being turned on, I'm a civilised human being ... I don't assault women (or men for that matter), which seems to be the problem with muslim men, they can't be trusted to see an attractive woman and remain courteous (as the covering up law would suggest).

I used to say to my muslim friends, "Allah creates a thing of beauty then man covers it up as though it's shameful to see it."
