Murder For Islamic Body Bags

    "In March 2002, compliance [with the muttawa or religious police) meant that young women couldn't escape a school fire until after they'd thrown on their full-length abayas. According to Saudi Arabia's own news reports, fifteen female students died and dozens sustained injuries when religious police forced the girls back into the burning building to retrieve their abayas, which literally became body sacks." This is from Irshad Manji's book, The Trouble With Islam, page 152.
    As a beginner in reading about Islam, it appears that women are considered as somewhat a minor. Her decisions are made by her father, and then by her husband. She doesn't even get to look at men in the eyes. It's too assertive. Also, there is still much anger in some sects about a woman even being educated, which could have played a part in the Saudi religious police forcing girls back into the burning school to put on their body bags. Why wear body bags? From what little I'm reading, it is because men think women exude such sexuality that if their bodies were exposed, any of it for some sects such as the Wahhabis, men would go into instant, uncontrollable sexual frenzies, and the world would immediately fall into chaos. So how come that isn't happening in the West? In fact, the East seems to be in frenzies, and the West seems to be orderly, with exceptions? I believe the Islamic answer to that would be that Western men aren't men at all. While I would agree that the Western city man seems to be becoming more effeminate and danty, there are still plenty of men with sexual desire in the West, especially the country people, and they are not having nervous breakdowns and jumping on women like barnyard roosters because they see thighs and breasts.
    I do worry about our college kids who as high school graduates accepted into high tier colleges, are so impressed with themselves and are so righteous in their economic dependency on their parents, loans, and scholarships that they don't think they have to be exposed to anything different or contrarian. Instead, they demand the absence of that and plead for "safe areas" where they won't be challenged or expanded in knowledge. I compare these to our same age kids who are soldiers fighting grueling battles with Islamists who will torture and kill them and worry that the difference is too great between the two sets of kids. I worry that the soldiers will return to America and see how soft, corrupt, and immature the civilians have become and say "F-   this sh- ! We're taking over."
Is this already happening with the Dallas police killings?
