It does not hurt American interets

The covered up photos of prominent Western females do not hurt American and other Western interests. In fact they many times help.

It is good to make the whole world watch Westerners, particularly in Islamic world. As far their sexuality is concerned, it gets reduced but not fully eliminated. The beauty is beauty and even if it is the poor shadow of a real person.

If by hiding their explicit bodily parts, Moslems see them in more numbers, that should be satisfactory to all those who matter. The facial beauty is sufficient to make many Moslem males fantasize about them and inducing sexual atheism among them and also make Moslem females somewhat pervert inside their boundaries. That could increase consumerism somewhat.

Anyway is the technology created by Islamic world or is it created by Western world? Eyes and ears have great influence in shaping the behavior and opinion of a society. I think that the world should see more beauty adapted to the local culture and should hear more English and other European languages. That may partly help senses converge and co-evolve. That could be step the right in the direction of wishful secular convergence.
