Jim Nelson has written a book ‘ When Nations Die’. He points out  an 
important common rule for the fall of nations ..the abandonment of 
religion…… What ever little moral lessons the western Democracies have 
in their Bible they are also discarded. The two biggest examples are: 1.
 Belief in one God   2.Modesty.   This is the beginning of the down of 
the great Western Civilization.
Can you guess how foolish are their intellectual arguments to ban the
 face veil? The refutation comes from the Non Muslims themselves and 
that too on street corners. Here is one of them “Why has France banned 
Face veil?” .. Because they find that it is unhealthy for the Muslim 
women wearing it”… Oh then they should ban even high heels shoes and 
sandals too as they are more injurious to the entire women of 
France….They should ban lipsticks and many other cosmetics because they 
contain lead , which is harmful for the skin and it is applied by most 
of the French women…. Ah they are manufactured by Multi national 
companies so they cannot be banned… Ah I wish that Addidas and Reebok 
should also come out with face veil and make it a brand product !!!.
When I was a young boy of 6 years, I used to accompany my maternal 
grandmother to sell milk. There was this 70 years old lady who used to 
buy milk. Every time I used to enter her shop, she used to draw a 
“Ghungat” ( face veil  of a kind) and cover her face. One day out of 
curiosity I asked my grand ma “why is this lady always hiding her face 
from me?” She replied “ It is very natural of a woman to be modest  and 
be shy in the presence of a Non Mahram”. I asked “ Grand ma, she is  too
 old and I am a young boy!”  “So what?” My grand ma replied “She has 
been covering her face for past 60 years so even when she is old she has
 that natural bashfulness in her that Allah gave her…..” That was a 
memorable answer. By the way that lady was a Hindu Brahmin.
The modesty of women is among those cultural similarities which 
different civilizations have enjoyed except that when they tore of that 
modesty, their down fall speeded up. Robert Stonebraker, from Winthrop 
university writes “Among the women under twenty years of age, 70 percent
 of all births are to single mothers……”  Prior to the 1960’s most women 
in the West refused to engage in pre marital sex without an explicit or 
implicit promise of marriage in the event of pregnancy. Today they go in
 premarital sex with an explicit promise of not getting married… The 
mentality of western women has been changed due to the changing job 
opportunities in the West. The economy has shifted from muscle power to 
brain power so women are finding a lot of jobs and along with money 
comes a super confident or illusion that they can bring up their 
children on their own without burying themselves in the matrimonial 
life.
Have you noticed how gradually the western women has been cheated by 
male dominating western society?. Yesterday it was with abortion. Now 
the debate over banning abortion is dead , Today  the  radical 
liberation can hit any Priest of  Roman Catholic who opposes same sex 
marriages. He will be  disowned by the so called vanguards of freedom of
 speech. Marriage life has stiff competition from gay marriages, lesbian
 marriages, live in relations……And this is nicely  wrapped like a gift 
and awarded to the women with the label of ‘women’s liberation’
