Women are expected to be covered in excessively modest clothing from nearly head to toe. In many countries operating under Islamic Sharia law—such as Iran and Saudi Arabia—women are subject to the ruling of undercover dress code police. Officers can arrest women who are deemed to be dressed too liberally.

In 2002, Saudi Arabia's religious police prevented school girls from escaping a burning building because of their immodest dress. As a result 15 girls died.
Often the clothing Islamic dress code officers deem too liberal, might be considered extremely modest by western standards.
In Bangladesh, women have had acid thrown in their faces simply because they were unveiled. Women, who attempt to assert rights common to females in the West, are subjected to cruel and inhumane punishments. Atrocities that women regularly suffer include lashings, stonings, forced marriages, amputations, genital mutilation, and even honor killings.

Sheik Muhammad Al-Munajid of Saudi Arabia describes how it is a woman's top priority to obey the husband's sexual needs and mocks the notion that women must consent to marital relations in western culture.
Thirteen year-old girls are forced into marriage simply because they are physically mature enough to bear children. Vengeful brothers have been known to stone their own sisters, if a brother-in-law even suspects that his wife has had an affair. And you can only imagine the punishment if allegations of marital infidelity are proven true.

In Iran, adultery is publishable by 99 lashings and in some cases death by stoning. Suspicious husbands are often able to attain a guilty adultery sentence against their wives, even without substantial of sustainable proof.
Often silenced by mainstream media, accounts of these atrocities go unreported. Yet, as Radical Islam increases its influence worldwide this inhumane treatment of women is creeping closer to home.
