That's a pretty big distinguishing factor between Christians and Muslims. If you're going to say that pushing for modesty will naturally result in women wearing full body curtains you should at least point to an example of where it's been a normative practice in Christianity. You've got about 2,000 years of history so I'm sure you can find it.

we shouldn't purposefully tempt others to sin. Women who flaunt their lack of modesty are doing that very thing.

...is exactly what men were saying just before they started making women wear niqabs. That was my point.

OK. You were trying to equate Christianity with Islam with a picture of women in body drapes because both religions teach modesty. I don't think that's a fair comparison when only one of the two religions has taken it that far in terms of normative practice.

The common denominator between Christianity and Islam is Mosaic Law, and the notion of sin. I don't abide by it.

that's obvious.

Whether you agree with the "sin" aspect, there are practical benefits that can be derived from modesty.
