[... Rape isn't about sex, it's about anger and rage...]
Where did you get this idea? Let's step away from the
deviant and predatory Muslim context for a moment and
put this into a western value set. Rape can be provoked
for many reasons and is never excuseable, but how fair is
it to a man when a woman dresses like "bait"? In western
culture the onus of self control is ALWAYS on the man,
while women covort with impunity in all manner of undress.
I taught my daughter that modesty is not only virtuous,
but it can keep her from harm.
I know this may bother some people, but in my opinion,
in order to be above reproach, western women need
to clean up their act.

I don't disagree with you about women, especially teens and tweens, needing to dress more appropriately. But you've taught your daughter that dressing properly will prevent her from being raped and that is not true. If someone wants to rape her they will no matter how she's dressed. So what you've done is set her up to blame herself rather than the perp. If it ever happens she will always question whether or not her skirt was an inch too short.
If she marries and her husband beats her because he dislikes her cooking, is the beating her fault because she's not a good enough cook?
