The fundamentalist Muslim attitude towards women, as portrayed in their dress code, is often presented as similar to the attitude of Orthodox Judaism as portrayed in its dress code. Is this similarity, though, actually true? I would contend that the Muslim dress code for women is not a proper manifestation of the Torah concept of tzniut. In fact, it is a dress that contradicts that concept.
