Why would you want your wife or mother walking around during the day, at the mall, at the grocery store dressed in a bikini? Why would she seek the attention of other men, why would she want it? It is about the de-sexualization of a sacred symbol: the mother. It shows the greatest respect and unconditional love of women. It is a simplest form of feminism wearing a hijab or burka.

"We are born of love; Love is our mother."

"Woman is a ray of God. She is not that earthly beloved: she is creative, not created."
