First impression of Muslim women and Christian Nun:
- Both are practicing modesty;
- Both covering hair;
- Both are wearing cloths covering almost whole body;
- Both are religious;
- Both are staying away from direct contact with a men (at least until marriage).

Interesting comparison, Andrius. I believe there is a similar concept in Judaism, by the way. What you're neglecting to consider, though, is the spectrum of beliefs, as far as Muslim women go. Not all believe the hijab is necessary (and choose not to wear it), while some believe that the entire body should be covered. It's not as black and white as it seems!
I know, Jeremy, about choices and etc. You absolutely right saying that not everything is black and white... You can't say that in Europe or anywhere else nuns are so common in the city.
I just wanted to show that people shouldn't judge other cultures without knowing their own.
My education about Pakistan culture continues : )
Really very interesting comparison, never thought about it before :)
Looking forward for continuation on this topic,
Rytis
