Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."

Personally, I think it's ridiculous that to force women to dress modestly simply because men cannot control their imaginations. Look away. pray. I understand that short skirts are a source of temptation, but women shouldn't be responsible for keeping men chaste.
