All of them.
According to their holy text, their god made them all naked. That actually makes some sense because people aren't born with clothes on. Yet, they all make sure to cover (particularly their women) as much as possible. Going by Adam and Eve (the biblical story, not the sex toy shop), the snake got off pretty lightly for tempting Eve with the Apple. "You will crawl on your belly all of your days. Oh and you'll eat Dust (and mice. You'll also eat mice.)" Earthworms crawl on their bellies, and unless the bible is missing a story about them pissing off Yahweh/Allah/Jesus, they didn't do anything to deserve it. So the whole idea that it's the responsibility of people not to tempt others is a bad concept in the first place. Even going by their religion.
It's fine to dress modestly. People should dress (within reason) how they want. But I think it's stupid that it's considered the woman's fault if a man lusts after her. It's similar to victim blaming when people say "Well if she didn't want to get raped, she shouldn't have worn that skirt in public." It's a bit misogynistic, and as my husband says it's also misandry because it assumes men can't control themselves.
