Faith Under Pressure@DeenRatio
Sahih Muslim 1403a told us that whenever Muhammed saw a woman, his thoughts immediately turned to s3x.
And when he noticed his companions were driven by the same uncontrolled lust, instead of teaching men discipline and self-control, he pushed his wives into wearing the niqab so they would not be devoured by the eyes and desires of his companions.
In Islam, Women are treated like objects men could not control themselves around, so the burden was placed on women to hide, not on men to control their desires.
