Heh heh. I was going to ask the same thing, Urban...except in a different way, of course!
I just thought it would be good to point out that not all Muslim women cover up body/hair. It all depends on people's belief systems, and most religions have more orthodox beliefs and more liberal interpretations, don't they?
Here's an interesting article about Muslim women who are defying stereotypes about Muslim women by painting them nude in erotic ways:

As another example: the U.S. Miss Universe contestant is Muslim and posed with her back bare (as opposed to her front, like some of the contestants), saying that she wasn't going to show her breasts in deference to Muslim sensibilities: “For me, I like to do the back,” she said. “I didn't want to do the front for many reasons, and one of them being in respect, I'm Arab, I'm Muslim, and I didn't want to disappoint many people.” So, she probably has her own rules and ideas about what she feels comfortable doing, regardless what certain Muslim groups feel:

Also, Zaqarbal, I never thought there might be an association between being atheist like me and feeling comfortable with public nudity! Hmmm....maybe if I start emphasizing a connection between atheism and nudity, we atheists will get a lot more converts.
