[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wearing the hijab for modesty causes less destruction in society than the wanton, reckless, immediate gratification and satisfaction of lust. We see this in teenage pregnancies, adultery, STDs, broken families that result, cancer, broken lives.

I do not respect such behavior but you still have the right to engage in it. Normally I do not voice my opinions about this and follow a live and let live philosophy,  but if you think its fine for you to criticize women who choose to wear hijab, then its fine for you to hear about destructive western behavior.[/quote]

I agree with you pp.  Teenage pregnancies, adultery, STDs, are all bad.  I don't know what cancer (?) has to do with it, maybe you mean HPV?  Anyway, I managed to wait to have sex until I was married, and so did my husband, all the while wearing whatever I like.  Swimsuits, shorts, the whole shebang.  Being sexually conservative has NOTHING to do with hijab.  Nothing!  Look at the problems we have in many Muslim countries:  an epidemic of unreported rapes from strangers and known people alike, sexual assault of women in the street, leering and catcalling women in the street, disrespect of women and their place in society.  Plus, from what I saw living in a Muslim country, people still "indulged" their lusts, they just did so in secret.  What exactly is better about living in that kind of society?  I will take the teenage pregnancies over that, thanks.[/quote]

Oh, and I forgot to add:  Muslim men routinely ditch their wives for another woman, or even better, "add" an additional wife.  Haven't you ever seen an old Arabic movie, pp?[/quote]

No, I don't get my cultural or religious education from movies.[/quote]

I think movies say a lot about a culture.  I think living in a country tells you a lot about the culture.  I lived in a Muslim country where most of the women wore hijab and everyone made a big show of piety- and I was NOT impressed.[/quote]
