Maybe the Muslim theology student was simply pleased that his wife chose to show her body to only him. And it's not uncommon for men to get excited by a woman who makes them feel special and important in any way.

In Islam gazing inevitably leads to lust (in many cases). Lust may lead to greater sins. To permit women ( or men) to show off their adornments and say no sin will ever result is just false.

Newsflash- if men and women marry, no need to have sex outside of marriage...or have sex with animals. ?[/quote]

The Muslim theology student, of course, was kind of a sleaze.  He loved spending time with female students, but for his own wife, I guess he wanted someone "pure."  Fair enough.

Of course, pp, your description of Islam sounds consistent to what I have seen in practice.  Narrow, legalistic, and overly onerous.  To cover your entire body so that you can save some poor man from the risk of lust- I guess if you feel this is for the glory of God, good for you.[/quote]

It's not that burdensome for many Muslim women to wear hijab.  For many hijab wearers, it's more dignified than using their hair (or cleavage, legs, or any other part of their body) to attract a man's attention.[/quote]

Honey, if there was anything dignified about wearing hijabs, men would be wearing them.[/quote]

Lets try to refrain from the condescension ("honey"), shall we? I suppose if wearing booty shorts, exposing thighs, or tossing their hair around were dignified, men would be doing it too, no? [/quote]

Are women wearing booty shorts trying to promote it as dignified?  I didn't see that post.[/quote]

Right, and are Muslim women who opt to wear hijab doing it solely out of oppression or because they don't understand their religion?[/quote]

Oh, pp seems to understand her religion.  She understands that it is her duty to cover to protect men from looking at her, and that this is somehow "dignified."  Is it wrong to question this line of thinking?  What exactly is dignified about it?[/quote]
