Media's Impact in Modest Clothes in Baghdad

In Baghdad there is a store that sell's the "proper" clothes for women, but as a display the owner of the shop put a few female mannequins with blond hair and bright colored scarfs covering their heads loosely, the clothes were very moderate by western standards. This whole displays come with a message “Whoever fills his eyes with the forbidden, on judgment day God will fill them with fire.” At first when I started reading this I thought it was an extreme way to send out a message of a families man frustration with today's media.  But of course it does not have anything to do with true values, all I got from this was how weak men can truly be this whole demonstration was because with women not being forced to wear the veil. All they are worried about is women wearing clothes that will inflame men’s imaginations. Instead of worrying for themselves and how they can do things themselves they want everything the easy way.  which unfortunately we cant close the media so my only thing to them is Suck it Up, and get your heads out of the Gutter.
