Cultures are influenced by other cultures they come in contact with. But lasting changes to a culture come from within. How can Islamic culture change in regards to women's issues, in the presence of this, in many cases, female perpetuated, cultural attitude about something as fundamental as the appropriateness of women's bodies? I see a big hurdle with outside cultural influences reaching these women. However, I refuse to believe it can't change, because there are examples of moderate Islamic societies where women are treated more equally, if not as equally as in Western or other cultures.
