[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]

[b]For every woman that dressed in bikinis, booty short, regular shorts, whatever, yet maintained her virginity and morality  I can find you twenty more that did not. For every hijabi woman that was secretly promiscuous I can find you twenty that were not.[/b][/quote]

I don't think this claim is true, at all.  I think there are PLENTY of perfectly moral people who wear whatever they want.  I think there are plenty of "moral" Christians, atheists, Buddhists, whatever, who have both worn shorts and decided to be virgins for whatever reason.  And I think there are plenty of completely immoral Muslims who wear hijabs, long beards, etc.

The foundation of your argument is that Muslims who wear these garments are better able to maintain their virginity/moral superiority.  I don't see you present any proof for this, nor do I think it is true.  The best way to determine this is to look at the morality in Muslim countries, and a lot of Muslim countries are doing pretty terribly on every measure of morality, whether it be corruption or sexual morality or just killing each other all over the place or what have you.[/quote]
