The beauty of Christianity is that it does not dress cultures, it consecrates them. That is why the nun rebuttal Muslims make never works on me.
Christianity is a religion of inward transformation. It does not enter a culture and replace what people wear. It enters a culture and sanctifies it. Which is why in a world shaped by Christianity you see variance, dignity, and beauty expressed through a thousand different cultural vocabularies. African women in their ancestral elegance. European women in theirs. The gospel walked into every civilization and said: bring yourself and glorify God in your essence.
That is why nuns stand out. Their covering carries weight precisely because it is not what everyone else wears. The distinctiveness means something in a room full of women already worshipping in their own traditions. A nun in a crowd of Christian women from different cultures is a statement of singular consecration. A nun in a world where all women dress the same is just a woman.
Now imagine a world under Islam. Every woman dressed the same way. Regardless of continent, climate, culture, or history. There is no Nigerian woman, no Malian woman, no French woman. There is only the prescribed form. Islam does not consecrate cultures. It replaces them.
And then you trace the revelation itself. One of the cited reasons for the Quranic instruction on covering was to distinguish Muhammad’s wives and free Muslim women from enslaved women. Enslaved women who, under the same Islamic system, were available to be violated and sexually abused. The hijab was in part a status marker separating women men were required to respect from women men were not.
Think carefully about what it means for a divine revelation to be organized around that distinction. Not around the dignity of every woman but around which category of woman you belonged to.
Close your eyes and imagine a world where only Christianity exists. What do you see? I see color, culture, beauty, a thousand peoples glorifying God in their own forms.
Now close your eyes and imagine a world entirely under Islam and Sharia.
What you see in that second image is the argument.

I started buying Jewelry from Elsa in 2022
She made it so easy for me, hehehehe, even thought me how to get my ring size.
I'm so glad she is here today
Thank you Jesus
Nobody told me to be fat, but the things my eyes have seen today at the hand of this people selling clothes.
I am going to intensify my workout, this cannot continue .
Woke up today with an overwhelming expression of love for Etse.
I love this woman, I love her so so much mehn
When she laughs, when she talks, when she moves, that's my person, that's my better half
If I do it’s not like my life would be easier it’s just that I would be able to focus on things that actually matter too me
Really wished I was able to do this earlier
I find it comforting that when we are old I'll be the one to die first.
I can't imagine mourning Etse, I might actually die the next day
But thinking about it, I know it's selfish, but abeg, please God give me this win

“When this started on April 3rd, I wanted to thank God in public, and I want to thank God again."
"The gratitude of seeing what we saw, doing what we did, and being with who I was with, it's too big to just be in one body.”
