Thanks for posting. I have read that besides forcing men to view them as other than mere objects, the veil protects men because women know how much power they have over men, who will do foolish things for sex. I have also read that Mary, the Mother of Jesus dressed much as modern Muslim women do, the veil being a cultural phenomena more than a religious one.

It wasn't all that long ago that women in the West dressed modestly for the exact same reasons cited by this Muslim woman.

But we in the West have learned from our masters, the Great Liberators, to despise our past and anything that reminds us of it.
