It is also a privilege not to be worried about the beauty standards, as her entire body is covered. I've never discriminated against Muslims, but I've always been curious about their lifestyle. Wonder if the climate affects them, simple stuff like that. However, I am on Naheed Mustafa side; my body is my own business.
