ORIGINAL: Charles6682 This Lady looks hot.Why do some Muslims cultures want to make such beautiful Women wear robes and headscarfs to cover their body?Thats what happens when religous nutjobs run the show.Just note,that is ANY religous extremist at that. Hello Charles, A woman's body is her temple. This is not just a Muslim belief; many other religions - Hassidic Jews, Mormons, some Christians, etc (just off the top of my head) have the same belief about women (and men) covering theselves. The sharing of a woman's body is to be with her husband alone for it is a sacred thing, the body. So, too, do the men need to wear modest clothing. Secondly, there is nothing "nutjob" about wearing the hijab. Many MANY women CHOOSE to do so because they want to be seen as people rather than women, as thoughtful, interesting, intelligent people instead of sex objects. Women in Western society are judged by their looks. One of the ways some women counter that narrow POV is to cover themselves, to celebrate some other part of themselves. Your post shows a tremendous lack of understanding of the social, cultural, and religious underpinnings of the hijab. Best, sunshine
