Exercise #2 Cultural conflict

1-The conflict is over the way of wearing clothes between Muslims and non-Muslims. Muslims believe that wearing clothes that show women beauties is immodesty while westerns don’t see any immodesty. But, logically its actually immodesty first because its God’s order and God never make wrong decisions and as Muslims we obey him through Islamic rules and don’t need to know why because whatever comes from God its for our own good. Non-Muslims must know that Islam provide protection to society, particularly to women through Islamic guidelines as well as for men in order to be able to control themselves. Once these protection guidelines are missing, it will definitely produce uncontrollable society, especially when comes to the lust and sexual desires of men, here comes women roles to protect themselves of the animalistic men and if we look into the statistics of top 5 countries with highest rape crime United states comes first, south Africa, Sweden, India and the fifth is United kingdom.
2-I believe this situation is honor/shame based because Muslims believe that women should only show there beauties to their husbands otherwise it’s a shame and here the brothers or fathers come to get back the honor of the family.
3- Before I think of the solution I would like to ask those who hate the idea of modesty, what kind of harm it may cause to you if you obey the law or accept modesty?  I don’t believe there is any other solution than respect and obey the law.
4- Well, based on my faith and knowledge I gained from my religion I can say I broadened my worldview. My philosophy for living from my religion is that every human being should think and look for the truth and God because it’s the beginning for having a peace of mind and true happiness. Often people think success and richness are the main source of happiness while my source of happiness is conviction and satisfaction of what I have as long as I’m healthy, have enough food to stay alive and a home with good family.
