LMAO.
So as not to scare off people?
Seriously, though, I think it's some religious thing.
Merry Christmas.

we don't. it's our choice to do so or not.
~In the Quran, God states: "Say to
the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their
modesty...And say to the believing women that they should lower their
gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty
and adornments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they
should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty
except to their husbands, their fathers...(a list of exceptions)"
[Chapter 24, verses 30-31] Also, "O Prophet! Tell thy wives and
daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer
garments over their persons...that they should be known and not
molested." [Chapter 33, verse 59]
****and to rennkeal.......u either are muslim or u are not. pick one. there is no such thing as "half muslim". we are not a breed. we are a religion!

in some cases, because their husbands make them do it, in other cases, because they are not supposed to show their incredible beauty, and in even other cases, because they are incredibly ugly. finally, it seems that islamic men are easily turned on by even the mere sighting of feminine epidermis so require their women to totally cover up to avoid those embarassing tents in their loongies and being admonished by their mullah

Because...as far as consideration of women's privileges, rights, and feelings...Muslim men rank women about on the par with a donkey.

Dress Code for Believers*
[24:30] Tell the believing men that they shall subdue their eyes (and not stare at the women), and to maintain their chastity. This is purer for them. GOD is fully Cognizant of everything they do.
[24:31] And tell the believing women to subdue their eyes, and maintain their chastity. They shall not reveal any parts of their bodies, except that which is necessary. They shall cover their chests, and shall not relax this code in the presence of other than their husbands, their fathers, the fathers of their husbands, their sons, the sons of their husbands, their brothers, the sons of their brothers, the sons of their sisters, other women, the male servants or employees whose sexual drive has been nullified, or the children who have not reached puberty. They shall not strike their feet when they walk in order to shake and reveal certain details of their bodies. All of you shall repent to GOD, O you believers, that you may succeed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*24:30-31 Dressing modestly, therefore, is a trait of the believing men and women. The minimum requirements for a woman's dress is to lengthen her garment (33:59) and to cover her chest. Tyrannical Arab traditions have given a false impression that a woman must be covered from head to toe; such is not a Quranic or Islamic dress.
Encourage Marriage to Discourage Immorality
[24:32] You shall encourage those of you who are single to get married. They may marry the righteous among your male and female servants, if they are poor. GOD will enrich them from His grace. GOD is Bounteous, Knower.
[24:33] Those who cannot afford to get married shall maintain morality until GOD provides for them from His grace. Those among your servants who wish to be freed in order to marry, you shall grant them their wish, once you realize that they are honest. And give them from GOD's money that He has bestowed upon you. You shall not force your girls to commit prostitution, seeking the materials of this world, if they wish to be chaste. If anyone forces them, then GOD, seeing that they are forced, is Forgiver, Merciful.
[24:34] We have revealed to you clarifying revelations, and examples from the past generations, and an enlightenment for the righteous.

Some do it because their god asks them to. Others do it for fear of being prosecuted and beaten for not wearing their garb.
