OK. Can someone please explain to me what is "indecent" about showing your face?
I'm a white nominally christian woman and so I do not cover my head or face as neither rmy culture or my religion requires me to. I DON'T wear miniskirts or revealing clothes - I usually wear long skirts, blouses, jeans sweaters etc, so I am clothed from head to foot.
So why would that be insufficient for a muslim woman - am I "indecent" in showing my head and face?
I also am not arrogant enough to consider myself so beautiful that any male who sees me will be overcome with lust for me. Maybe if I wandered around in a bikini or somethign but in everyday clothes, Jeans, sweaer etc, I'm sure the average male can cope.
So why are muslim women insisting its necessary to cover your face for "decency" and "modesty"? Whats immodest about showing your face? Are you somehow suggesting us non-muslim women who don't are being "immodest"??
