Ugh. I tried to get my passport today (in the U.S.) and my photo was rejected for
the same reason.

Some muslim women in my opinion are very modest when they cover themselves!!!
They say they feel protected.
a muslim woman told me she feels very protected by covering herself up. for example how an orange feels protected by its peel, without the peel the orange wont feel protected at all.
and another example was a pearl at the bottom of the sea in its shell is more protected than it is without the shell.
so that is how muslim women feel when they cover themselves up.
THEY FEEL PROTECTED!!!

these examples really made me think.
so i think no one has the right 2 abuse muslim women in this manner.

btw im no muslim if thats wat you think!!
im just telling you some points

and also muslims are always the ones people say stuff about.
no one ever tells a sikh to remove his turban
or a nun to stop covering herself!!!!

so i think muslims should be left alone. coz they have a right to wear whatever they want just like sikhs and nuns do.

THANK YOU

“...But I do believe there is something to be said for modesty”

I’m not trying to come off as glib or a smart-ass when I ask WHAT MIGHT THAT BE? What is that “something” to be “said” for modesty?

What is the big problem with the HUMAN BODY, male and female, AS IS, without sugar coatings of any kind?

Don’t get me wrong… I think MOST PEOPLE should be required by law to cover their bodies when in public at all times… not out of any sense of “modesty” but to keep from profoundly offending the rest of us with their ugly, wobbling gobs of naked fat!

Let those with nicely toned physiques parade naked if for no other reason than to model for the rest of us what the MAINTAINED human body is supposed to look like.

I’m sorry to be so judgmental folks, but in my opinion, anyone offended by the sight of a child’s naked shoulders needs serious psychological counselling. He or she is sick in the head.

Methinks Muslim men have a self-esteem problem of the first order. At times I sympathize with them until I hit… that great continent that is Africa. It is so sick to me, when it comes to male/female relations, that I am repulsed. If men can’t control, it seems, they are inadequate. Lucky is the woman who finds a real man, the inward-looking type who questions it.

The topic is as absurd to me as the question of the size of a man’s penis. It’s so primitive, it defies logic.

I should add, though, that there is no sense questioning the version of Muslim modesty that profoundly affects so many women. If only a certain ‘balance’ could exist. Women should no more be exposing their ‘attributes’ than men. And we all know what the media is feeding us on a daily basis: half-naked women and fully dressed men.

Btw, I am not religious—at all. But I do believe there is something to be said for modesty.
