Define Modesty


Quebec’s Bill 62 has created a lot of controversy in both Quebec and the rest of Canada. The bill, which some feel is aimed at Muslim women who opt to hide their faces, except for their eyes, was intended for identification purposes. Those opposed to this new legislation claim the law infringes on rights related to freedom of religion. Here’s the thing. From what I have learned, it is my understanding that Muslim teachings state that women should dress modestly. Fine. Covering your entire body with clothing, expect for a peek-a-boo eye opening, goes beyond what most people would deem as being modestly dressed.
