I sympathize with you, while I do not hold with the traditional Muslim dress as a standard, I do hold with modest dress standards which are required by Christianity, that have largely been destroyed in Western culture.
Many Western Catholics, do not hold to their religion and traditions, they live a life based largely on the corruption of culture through the media. They are truly brainwashed by their cultures, so much so they do not even understand or hold to the standards of modesty clearly witnessed to from their religion.
It is not a Christian life, however much they may call themselves this or even think it is. The modesty of Our Lady and Christ is the example for all. Our Lady’s dress is the guideline for modesty for women. Some good nuns wear dress similar to, though not quite as restrictive as Muslim dress.
Muslim traditional dress may go too far, but it is better to go too protection against sin than to go into sin. And it is hard to change a tradition into a more modest one without people going over the line into license once they are less restricted.
In these times we have to be all the more careful about boldness and audacity in freedom of dress, and in relations between men and women.
‘The Virgin Mother, all pure and all white, will make her servants pure and white.’
‘If you would keep yourself pure, shun dangerous occasions. Do not trust your own strength. In this matter we can not take too much precaution.’
