So Maybe Covering is about Being Modest
Topic: Modesty
It seems that the veil raises the question of modesty. Especially in response to the Imam's comments about uncovered women inciting men (consciously or not) to do things they shouldn't. Read here about the Australian Christian ministers, who had to actually explain to people that Christiany also expects men and women to dress modestly.

And this Texas Christian student, trying to find something to wear to dress up for Halloween, is stumped. Why are women encouraged to uncover so much more than just their heads?

Granted, there are some Israeli government officials who are offended by all the immodesty, considering that it is being used as a target to get people to travel to their predominantly Jewish country.

Perhaps, as this Modern journalist points out, modesty is not limited to Muslim school teachers hiding behind a traditional cultural form of dress. Maybe there's a little modest history in all of us. As well there should be.

(Please also look into some of the links I've added to this page as well, for more on modesty in dress for all three Abrahamic faiths listed - and how having the head covered factors in their explanations. Also check out this Christian Teen Study on Modesty, from which I took the picture for today.)
