Opposites

Sitting in a coffee shop today I saw the polar extremes of cultural approaches to modesty and appropriateness - perhaps a shorthand hint about the long standing and intractable nature of the conflict across this part of the world.

In the door of the shop came a woman dressed in a full burqa, down to the black gloves that cover the hands for complete modesty. On her heels was a woman in a tight dress, low cut to show off rather ample breasts, and a patch of webbing down each side about 6-8 inches wide, showing flesh all the way (I could tell she was wearing a black thong, so not much was left to the imagination).

How does one reconcile those two world views?
