Tempting eyes and Muslim men !!!

"19th November 2011:
The ultra-conservative Islamic state has said it has the right to stop women revealing 'tempting' eyes in public.
A spokesperson for Saudi Arabia's Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, Sheikh Motlab al Nabet, said a proposal to enshrine the measure in law has been tabled." Link.

If the faith cannot control our lust then what !!!, why Muslim men cannot control themselves !!!, why it's always the woman fault !!!, we want woman to be cover totally in black.......

I went to a Muslim country recently and I tell you, all women were beautiful: with full burka (?), with tempting eyes, with half a burka and with western clothes.

Women .... are always simply women...

Maybe they should just divide the country in half and have the women live on one side and the men on the other.

Not to be confrontational but does your faith require you to adhere to Muslim dress codes if you are a female?

Ditto, I was thinking the same thing. Sam will probly find the womens comments their interesting as most of us have. Funny, but sad also when you think about the "Me Tarzan, You Jane" mentality

Peace

Some of my Muslim colleagues choose to wear a scarf (hijab) at all times as they feel it sets them free; some wear a hijab because their husband "requires" it; some wear the hijab because they feel that they need to because of their perceived position in society; some don't wear any sort of head covering. (Note, our school does not allow the wearing of an abaya by staff, those who need to wear one to travel to and from work take them off once they're at school, revealing the pretty clothes underneath.) Also, I'm not in Saudi Arabia, where things are a little different.

Male (or also female) lust is surely an aspect of it, though I think overally it rather has to do with "evil eye", an aspect of which probably is lust+burnout, but also e.g. envy. Something which has more various aspects than what mentioned in this short comment.

Besides that, such dress issues should be up to women really, and from a physical medical point of view, I don't think keeping eyes in dark for most or all day is healthy for such eyes.

In the Bible, Genesis 38:14 spoke of Tamar...approaching a woman with a veiled face, thinking she was a prostitute....implying in ancient times, prostitutes wore veils over their faces.

My daughter's friend is Jordanian Muslim and she is very beautiful.

I read after 9/11....when alot was being studied about Islam, is that in prior times, the most beautiful women were taken by Muslim men during their conquests of peoples.

Their treatment of women aside, I think its actually more offensive to their men. To be so worked up over the eyes of a woman? Have they no self control?

But I was in Dubai recently and I was quite impressed by the level of modesty displayed by some of the women.

Though, it was funny when i saw a woman in a full length burka having an argument in a mall with her husband, and in english yelled at him "I saw you checking out her bottom...." And that guy, looked very, very scared!

Quote of day from that thread:

"I've never understood why the obvious answer isn't for men to be blindfolded outside the house and led around by their mothers."

Both women in the OP are adhering to the Islamic dress code, but the point is that in Islam it's always the woman who is bearing the consequences!, what about if the man has sexy eyes! what the cleric would say to him, simply nothing, he would tell the women not to look at him, so it's always the woman fault.........
