Respect for what????

So how does modesty generate respect for a muslim woman's intellect when according to the Qur'an, females are deficient in intellect? This is such a joke; where on earth would a muslim woman go to wear the fancy outfit shown in the picture, the iftar gala at the White House? Everyone knows that muslim women are not 'respected' for anything, least of all their personalities and intellect. They are brood mares and sex slaves after they are forcibly married to their cousins, and spend most of their lives behind four walls with their proliferous spawn while cousin-hubby is busy impregnating his other two or three wives, probably also cousins. One big, happy, incestuous family with the potential for devastating birth defects.
