How does GP's statement have anything to do with "nakedness" and "vices". Those appear to be your words, dude.

Besides, the woman that was killed in custody that started this whole mess in Iran was hardly "naked", quite far from it.

It's not the west's fault that people lack so much self-control they can't handle anything but a hijab. In my opinion that speaks incredibly poorly, if anything that means folks shold spend more time looking inward than foolishly crying out for divine protection

Moralism is far more responsible for a society's ills than "decadence" ever will be



The slippery slope is real. And as far as we're concerned, taking the Hijab away is one very obvious step in that direction. Just look at history.

I'm not defending the Iranian regime by the way.

You're straw manning to assume that the Hijab's only reason is lack of self control. It's one part of many things that we have in Islam to preserve morality and purity. For example, both men and women are ordered to lower their gaze.

I'm not moralizing here. I'm defending my religion and land from the assumption of the secular west that they're here to liberate us from "oppression".
