I just cannot see forcing a woman to reveal a part of her body she is not comfortable revealing as

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

112. I have spent much of my life living around muslims

And they have pretty much told me the same thing for the last thirty years, be they Saudi or Gulf Sunni or Iranian Shiites. The most radical and or vocal family member sets the tune in terms of the family's personal adherence level and everyone else falls in line to keep the peace.

I live near some Saudis who attend UC Irvine. When it's just the "kids" at home they could be mistaken for the Arab spinoff of the Jersey Shore. They get piss in the front yard drunk, blare dubstep and hip-hop one of the young ladies has been seen stumbling down the street topless. When this old dude who has a motorized wheelchair is around they wear the full abaya or something similarly modest but in lighter colors. They do however drive their own luxury SUVs. That tells me all I really need to know. Similarly Iranian family albums where women in the 50's through 70's are in fashionable western clothing. I guess the Iranian revolution was a huge spiritual awakening for them.
