But then I think there's also a LOT of peer pressure in places of worship, too. I can tell you having been at a United Pentecostal church for a while that they eventually will pray over you for "revelation" on what "God wants" and "conviction" etc. After a bit, you figure out that they're manipulating you,no matter how "nice" or "loving" they seem, and you leave. :] But I could easily see someone who really needs that peer group staying and adopting the same cultural mores. The pic of the girl with the tight jeans and the hijab reminds me of some of the UPC teens who will wear the VERY TIGHT dress, but oh! It covers their thighs LOL!

I will DEFINITELY show this to my students when we cover Islam b/c they always ask about the ways that the women dress. thanks for sharing this.
