If Muslimahs have their clitoris removed at birth, or, for some other reason dont feel attracted to men, like normal woman do, then I understand why Muslim men arent also covered up like seasonal furniture...however, if Muslimahs work like normal woman, then it makes no sense and simply resembles steer branding.
It takes two to tango right? If a Muslimah woman cannot also feel desire for the man, cause he has also covered up his shameful body and face for angry allah, then the probablity of adultry IS FURTHER REDUCED. See the point?
Sure, because of testosterone men are more agressive, but if a Muslimah is a normal woman, she will feel attracted in some situations and try to put herself in a position to better make a sexual encounter happen when she SEES a man she desires.
In fact, many people believe its woman who subtly make the first move anyway, so maybe it makes more sense for men, not woman, to cover up totally.

You are assuming muslim males give a damn about equality(which they don't)which is why Islam is in the backwards state it is now in.

Your last paragraph is enlightening, despite the fact that muslim men DO cover their faces, with thich terrorizing beards.
If you think, their society inhibes women from making the "first move" and they are stuck in the middle ages. In USA the media is trying to make all women Dumb blonde models (Paris, Nicole and the liking should be banned from public appearances) and are getting stuck in the middle of the twntieth century. Here in Brazil we believe that "what is pretty should be shown" and that makes our women confident and capable, and its because of that that we are coming out of the bottom of the pit!!!
YAY!

UNDERSTAND THESE!!!
wearing black viel is not compulsory to all Muslimah (Muslim women)!
in public, a Muslimah must cover all her body with clothes except for face and her hand until the wrist. the clothes must NOT be body-hugging (tight) or see thru! they must wear head scarves that cover their hair, neck and chest.
any kind of clothes that fits the descriptions above is permissable for women in Islam.
in a way, muslimah never have to wear any revealing clothes that makes them look like they are CHEAP, DESPERATE and UNCIVILIZED!!!
free to reveal and show your body part DOESN'T make you civilized or liberalized! it's only turned women into sexual objects for men!!!
even Muslim men, have to cover from their navel to knee cap in public.
with these guidelines, they will look RESPECTABLE, and public will respect them. "human will look like human!" therefore Islam never discriminate women in the way they wear their clothes BUT Islam liberalized women from being the sexual objects to men!!!
Islam just taught women to respect their ownselves! women have long been a second-class citizen regarding many previous civilizations even women were not entitled to vote in America before!
those Arabs that treated women as second-class man aren't practising the real Islamic teaching! the most popular misconception about women in Islam is, women are being discriminate in Islam! actually, Islam raised up women's honour!
regarding circumcision in Islam, it's COMPULSORY for male but optional for women (if the clitoris is small, then nothing will be done but if the clitoris is large, only SOME part of it will be removed! NOT completely removed!)
I HOPE YOU WILL SURF THE LINKS BELOW TO GET MORE ANSWERS ABOUT THE ISSUE YOU'VE RAISED!
clearly you are confused, i can't blame you for the majority of the western civilization has been trying to give Islam a bad name since the Holy War!
may God have mercy on all of us!

Who told you that things?
I am Muslima and I'm a normal woman, and i have all parts of my body. Most of the Muslimas wear veils when their are already married and love their husbands and they don't think about another men in their lives. We are Woman an we have eyes and feelings and hormones too.

Umm... it's called Prozak. Get a prescription.
In regards to the poster above: isn't this similar to Fundamentalist movements against the way women dress today? Or aganist types of rock, rap, or metal music?

I'm with you on this one. However Muslumah men are doing their best & covering their faces with plenty of facial hair.
Like your logic!

This is one of the most hypocritical aspects of this barbaric fantatic's religion. IT is the men who chase women, yet it is their women who are penalized...these men have such inferiority complexes, they are terrorized by the prospect of some kind of comparison...virgins indeed. What a bunch of cowardly wussies. I suppose they know they cannot measure up to the standard, and want to insure their women have nothing to compare their failings and short-comings to. Good luck
