Jasmine Loves Children, Magic & Freedom (This Prompts Muslim OutRage)

[Mr Greene]

That's pretty much what I always thought. It says more about the men than the women if they need to cover women and have them escorted everywhere if they're outside the home just to keep her from being raped.

Do they even have a markedly reduced amount of rape in places that do this?

Quite the opposite, even tourists in fairly standard western clothes are assaulted by mobs on the grounds of "dressing provocatively". A fairly well known singer actually had crowds of men trying to climb the outside of her hotel in an attempt to rape her after a concert in Cairo a couple of years back.
Statistics tend to show a decrease in the number of reported rapes in Sharia states, but given that Sharia views it as adultery with the punishment of stoning to death I'm not convinced the stats are a true reflection.
My own hypothesis is that the lack of exposure to the female form reduces men to tourists essentially and incapable of behaving with restraint when females are seen.
