Islam, Smith & Wesson and Protecting Women

Fausta's Blog has a great post on a perhaps emerging trend of "Submission Sheik." Please read the entire article, but I present from that story my Quote of the Day:

According to this site, the purpose of the veil is protection. While some decadent Westeners think of condoms when someone mentions protection,
This is the whole point, modesty is prescribed to protect women from molestation or simply, modesty is protection. Thus, the only purpose of the veil in Islam is protection.
Some of us decadent Western women, however, prefer to protect ourselves with firearms. Never mind that the mark of a civilized society is men's self-control.

As the father of two daughters, ages 21 and 19, I could not agree more.
