It should not have to take the NYPD to know that short skirts and immodest dress in general are an invitation to trouble. Our forefathers in this land knew better than to dress like drunken heathen. And its not just an Islamic thing. People can find in their Bibles condemnation of immodesty in clothing.

Yep, blame the victim mentality. We're talking about short skirt here, not bikini. Except for the burka covering the face, I think people in the Bible would wear clothes resemble of what men and women wear in the middle East today. Men wearing slacks, or God forbid, women wearing slacks in public? Nothing but stoned would be appropriate punishment because they are luring people into sins.

My point is, the way people dress change. What is considered 'modest' change. Men wearing T-shirt would be considered inappropriate in the past, since T-shirt was considered underwear. Today, women wearing short skirt has been accepted as appropriate dress, at least in New York.
