“O prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their veils close around them. That will be better, so that they may be recognized and not molested.” (Qur’an 33:59)
And if they don’t draw their veils close around them and are molested, in this view they have only themselves to blame.
“Woman assaulted over her outfit in Narsingdi station,” by Shamima Rita, Dhaka Tribune, May 20, 2022:
A young woman was physically assaulted over her outfit in Narsingdi railway station while she was on her way to Dhaka to take an exam.
The incident was reported on Wednesday at around 5:30am at platform no 1 of the railway station, station master Nayyum Mia confirmed on Friday.
According to witnesses, the woman and her two friends were waiting for the Dhaka Mail train leaving Chittagong. At that time, a middle-aged woman standing at the station saw them and made offensive remarks.
When the young woman protested, an argument started between the two. At one point, the older woman went to assault the young woman and her two friends protested.
Then some men standing at the station got into another argument with the two boys and went to beat them up.
Later, the young woman along with her friends went to the station master’s room for safety….
Narsingdi sadar police station Assistant Sub-Inspector Iqbal Hossain told Dhaka Tribune that he got a call from 999 and was informed that there was an incident.
“I went there and saw the girl in the station master’s room. The girl said that two women at the station made indecent remarks because she was wearing a short dress. At one stage of the fight, she was assaulted,” he added….

Bangladesh: Muslims assault woman for wearing a short dress
……………..
Muslims see something they don’t like and the first impulse–*almost always*–is to turn to violence.
And it sounds as though the assailants didn’t even know each other–but they all attacked this woman and her friends.
I’ve said before that in a civilized society civilized people do not initiate violence–but this is the norm in Dar-al-Islam. God, I hate Islam.

She was lucky only being harassed…
Article in Dhaka Tribune the same day:
“Police found the bodies of a woman and her two children with their throats slit””

Terrible but true, Jesper.

“A muslim woman must not wear a short garment which reveals the legs”,
instructs a muslim video for children (https://www.facebook.com/memri.org/videos/10153948273884717/).
The Manchester Arena bomber had punched a woman for wearing a short skirt, and continued to punch her when she was down. This incident was cited at the ongoing Arena Inquiry because it should have raised a red flag. Indeed, it should have done.

OLD GUY says
“Women’s Rights”
If you are worried about decisions regarding your body, then ISLAM is NOT for you.
Islam will give MEN total control over YOU.
Islam will decide:
What you ware
Who you can talk too
When you can go out of the home
Who you marry
Your SEX life
Female genital mutilation
You are worth half that of a man in the law
Women become a commodity
Women can be beaten if a man “thinks” you may disobey him
Murdering a female member of your islamic family often goes unpunished.
What more do you need to know about ISLAM and the Women’s Rights abuse that ISLAM considers a religious right on MAN.

It is no surprise it is happening in Bangladesh . It stayed in UK for eight years . When I first went to UK it was all European with occasional muslim man wearing full musiim beard and wearing ankle length pants coming to visit his very young wife in the hospital who had delivered a baby .Otherwise in every way it was British . By the time I left England eight years later it had become a mini Pakistan. There was an English county near London called Tower Hamlet which was a typical English suburb. By the time I left England the local white women could not walk around in the evening with skirts because the muslim gangs were threatening to rape them for being immodest. The only way to kill a snake is to hit hard on it’s head .There is no other way.
