Niqab and Muslim Women

[FatAndFaithless]

It's not only one of the many stark absences of women's rights in some muslim countries, it's also a damning self-indictment of the men.  They really don't see themselves as being able to resist the allure of an elbow or an ankle or, allah-forbid, a woman's face?  Are muslim men really that weak and enslaved to their biological urges that if they see a relatively 'uncovered' woman that they get all gropey or rapey or adulterous?

Some even have to cover their eyes with that mesh material. Like, an eye is too tempting because she is nothing but a sex object and men are nothing but pigs who are going to act on instinct. It's just awful.

It's especially strange when some of the criticisms that some muslim countries have of the west have to do with us being sex-crazed or our women being promiscuous... when they apparently can't handle seeing a shred of flesh on their own women without going nuts.
