Was it you who wrote this?

"Wearing the hijab is a choice....a choice to tell the rest of the world that you think women that don't wear one are whores."

This is absolutely false on several counts. Many women who choose to wear hijab don't wear it to let others know they aren't whores. They wear it for modesty.

They also don't assume all nonMuslim women are "whores." Lack of modesty can absolutely lead to sexually free behavior (we know this to be true), but it doesn't follow that women who lack modesty always engage in sexually free behavior. And the evidence for that is that Islam permits Muslim men to marry unveiled Jewish or Christian women.

I don't have the time or the inclination to teach you LSAT prep reasoning skills.

[b]The bottom line is that women who PREFER to wear hijab should not be constantly scrutinized and made to feel like naive, dimwitted, or gullible. Why can't you see how offensive that is?

Once you go down that path, you should be ready to face scrutiny for your own western attire and the unfortunate behaviors that may result.  [/b]

New to this portion of the thread:  Clothes send lots of signals, positive and negative, conscious and subconscious.  Changing clothes can change the signals, which some people do with purpose.  We individually and as a society judge men and women according to the clothes and the signals they send.  You are free to judge me and my clothes and extrapolate any real or imagined unfortunate behaviors I might engage in, and I am free to do likewise.  I may or may not be aware of what you think when you see and judge me, and I might be hurt or offended if you judge me negatively.  The same is true, the other way around.  That's how it works, living in society.  [/quote]
