1 + 1 Equals One When You Add Him

First, I just want to take the time to say that I absolutely LOVE what this man is saying!
It doesn't matter if you're a Muslim, Christian, Jew, etc. ALL women should be modest in their dress and in their speech. If you profess your love to God then be the woman of God. That is the reason why Muslim women choose to cover their hair, we aren't forced to and we are not oppressed. Just like there are Christian women who choose to live a life of modesty and cover their head and body.

It is said in the Bible, "I [God] also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God." 1 Timothy 2:9-10 If you look like you're sending a signal that you want attention from men who want a one night stand even though you don't, then you shouldn't dress in that manner. Dave Chappelle once stated that many women say, "just because I'm dressed this way doesn't make me a whore" then he paints a picture with that logic saying, "just because I'm walking around in a cops uniform doesn't mean that I'm a police officer". Meaning, if you don't want to be seen as a woman who intentionally seeks inappropriate attention of men by wearing immodest clothing then why do so?

In the pursuit of modesty, it is much more than covering our heads or our bodies, it represents the covering our hearts and minds. To practice modesty means that we are to deny ourselves daily of ungodly desires. Covering ourselves reminds us to hold ourselves accountable for our actions, intentions and thoughts. It reminds us that we are the daughters of the Almighty God and should dress and act as such because it is Him who we are supposed to be representing.

"Everything we do should be a result of our gratitude for what God has done for us."- Lauryn Hill
