    What an awesome article. And I agree totally with modesty not meaning oppression. Thanks for posting chloe.

    Very interesting. I, too agree with that this article says, and I certainly agree that the headscarf has become symbolic of a demonised islamic "enemy at the gate" that has largely invented by the US, and other Western governments.

    I do wonder, though, whether there really is a "growing epidemic" of "reduced libido".

    Huge profits by the makers of Viagra might bear this out.

    Thanks for posting this chloe. I am an avid fan of Naomi Wolf's views and this only highlights the reasons why.

    I often laugh at girls, even my own friends, who are closed minded about female muslim dress. Quite often you will hear a comment along the lines of "why do they allow themselves to be controlled like that"..... whilst flipping through the pages of the latest vogue, absolutely covered in make up and more concerned about Pairs Hilton's latest fashion fiasco rather than actually THINKING about what they have just said, and whay they allow themselves to be subject to.
