Ladies, cover your entire body, except one eye: Saudi cleric
Leaving both eyes exposed is too much for this guy.
Saudi cleric Sheikh Mohammed al-Habadan has declared that a Muslim veil, or hijab, that covers all but the eyes encourages women to use eye make-up to look seductive, the BBC reported Friday.
Al-Habadan has called on Saudi women to wear a full veil, or niqab, which covers the entire face, including one eye.
Hey, Mr Cleric, that still won’t do the job. Women wearing a one-eyed niqab can still make themselves seductive by applying make-up around the exposed eye. Duh!
What’s needed, obviously, is a garment covering the face with some sort of external camera so the women can see where they’re going. Or just keep ‘em locked up behind closed doors 24/7.
It seems to me that women who still want to make themslves attractive could take a picture of themselves with makeup and stick it to the front of their hijab.
Their good looks might not last long, however, because of the black eyes and broken noses they would suffer from walking into walls.
What with female genital mutilation and all, it’s quite generous that they let these ladies hang on to their eyeballs.
I did a web search on niqab, to see what they actually look like, and found a website called islaam.ca. This site has a forum section, where I found this:
By wearing it, we are not seeking to be obedient to men or lower our status in the sight of others, but rather we are trying to earn Allah’s pleasure and to raise our status in His sight.
The niqab helps to shield us from indecent exposure, immoral actions, and strange men who may harm us when their desires are incited. And it preserves religious values, praiseworthy virtues and worth that is proportionate to one’s level of piety.

I found this so sad. It certainly points out the stark differences between Islam and Christianity.
