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.

The full page is here:http://www.islaam.ca/forum/32.html

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

What with female genital mutilation and all, it’s quite generous that they let these ladies hang on to their eyeballs.

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.
