i'll take it step by step.
First, that model wearing burkha in a prison attributed to a Muslim country shows that if you don't wear burkha you would be raped, if you wore it you would be spared. Well this is one side of looking at the picture, imagine if she and the prison happened to be a non-Muslim country?
Most here have tried to prove as if the Muslim countries are the only entities where rape prevails and women are molested at will, forgetting where the main blunt of this menace lies (i don't want to quote statics in this thread)
Looking at the brighter side, one can say that she saved herself from being impinged in a prison and the credit goes to burkha. So we should also not forget this.
Apart from being in a Muslim prison and getting saved due to that piece of clothing, burkha or any other dress that covers a women according to Islamic values keep you safe from many things including the piercing eyes of lusty men.
Every country have its own values, for some roaming butt naked in bikini is OK, but for some this might lead to an unwanted response (imagine a blond in bikini roaming open in countries like Pakistan, india, Nepal , Afghanistan etc etc-she would be taken to task by passersby in due time)
Somebody said here that wearing normal dresses is all about it, my question to him, who is going to decide the standard of that 'normal dress'?
For a western having shin naked skirts might be normal working dress, a skin tight jeans with sleeveless T which shows the undergarment might be a normal hanging out dress and bikini might land as a normal bathing suit, but in india these kind of dresses might not be termed as normal dresses by mots indians and in Pakistan none qualify to be even a dress.
So dressing is someones on baby, but common sense has to play its role here, a burkha clad women might raise the security level at an airport in a Western country, similarly a chick in shots might ask for a harsh response in countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran, and to be more specific a shot with belly naked T wearer might find herself at the mercy of some AH in countries like Pakistan-white skin attracts most here in the Sub-Continent you know.
So one has to be careful while he or she dresses up when they find themselves out of their 'safe circle'. A burkha wearer might like to wear simple shalwar kamiz (not the one with high side cuts and shin naked shalwar
) and a scarf if she happens to go to States, and a western model might like to wear something more sober when she lands in a Muslim country (you might have seen the way the American lady officials dress when talking to their counterparts) .
i call it use of brain.
If someone wants to make it a matter of compulsion he may do so, but the underlaying facts remains that he requires 'help'.
Here's an example, imagine the state of mind of a molvi who has never seen a women's flesh other then her face, when he finds himself sitting or talking to a big busted chick in bikini or may the more 'sober' jeans and T!
There is a high chance that either the guy would go crazy and would stay in a state of shock for atleast a week (if he was a human type molvi) or there is also a rare chance the he jumps on the lady to ravish her (if he is an AH)
Similarly also try to understand the state of mind of a western girl who happens to see a burkha clad women on a beach in summers. i know people (non-Muslims ofcousre, who were friends) arguing that why do Islam stops the women to show their beauty, they thought that it was harsh to do so and they considered it a punishment for the women and said that this will give her an infriority complex and make her lose the freshness of life while she hides inside that black cloth. They too were right because for them it was wrong as they have grown up seeing their mother and sister and friends displaying their 'beauty' and now they find it hard to see one with that display.
On the contrary the kid who have not seen other then a women's hand and face might land up crazy when he sees something 'more'.
So you must have seen the difference in point of views now. Blaming a religion for rape or something alike is not what a sensible do. No religion takes rape and women disgrace as a guud thing.
Anyone wants to wear burkha go wear it, she dont want you cant force it, but yes you as parents would definitely want that she stay in limits. And the limits are very well defined in Islam.
One has to correct his home first and then talk about pointing fingers on others, if i want all to wear burkha, i must keep myself to my home and correct my family rather then taking up a stick to force it on others.
Lastly, burkha or covering oneself whether in prison or out do give you more confidence and protection against the evils of maleness. (Would like to stare at a jeans+T girl or the one in burkha?)
Some might say that the testosterone level is high on this side of the world but whom would you be more attracted to, aroused by and had the dirty stuff in mind-by the chick with belly naked top and shots or the other girl who is covering herself properly (not necessarily in burkha)?
