should women be blamed for being molested just because they aren’t wearing 'hijab' ?

1) firstly, i think it's a crime straight of that person who molested a woman under any circumstances, whatever she is wearing can be another consideration. women are not responsible for being raped in terms of legalities. it's his(the very man) responsibility to be modest and respectful to women. on the other way also women should have to be responsible and more careful and modest in exposing themselves publicly considering social values, norms, safeguard, manner-etiquette, and living surroundings . Islamic teaching doesn't contradicts in here.

2) again they say, it's all about matter of self-control. in western societies generally people have good self-control ; it's appreciating not to look at a 'ramp sexy model' in a sexy way though (marketing of) 'consumerism' wants its consumers to be random sexually interactive. self-control is developing as if it was a natural course. it is as to a developing process is culturally/educationally in progress. culturally, it varies in regions to regions, and fluctuates in degrees but also it can be achieved by continuous moral learning. Religious self-control system is much stronger among all other cultural self-control/ proactive-educational mechanisms.

3) rape/molester/eve teasing etc are considered to be social crime, so we need to learn/practice how to control over negative instincts by Means of socio-cultural/Religious Self-Control System. a good Muslim inspired/ought to be learned and achieved good self-control by living a completely modest life. Islam doesn't force everyone (specially no enforcement on the non-believers) to wear/maintain hijabs. in strict sense, if a Muslim doesn't follow Allah's decree s/he can't be a good Muslim. if wo/men wear/maintain hijabs it helps them a lot, it's a factually proven truth. and statistically proved. proved in everyday experiences. witnessed in many Muslim countries. 'hijab' doesn't looks/mean/think alike what consumerism looks or thinks around 'body-covering-clothes' agendas.

4) is 'wife in veil' only husband's jealousy? answer is certainly NO. Islam treats 'sex' a sacred relational attribute. its bond is purified in two persons (husband/wife) by a marriage-contract. faithful Muslim couples can't be much worried and jealous in respect of non-Religious ego-matters. s/he should have gained the spiritual strength for engaging in sustainability with higher purpose.

5) more over, if a non-Muslim women like to choose keeping Victorian secret, a Muslim man shouldn't see her in a disrespectful way. because it's not Islamic at all.

6) sexuality in Islam is a sacred, pure, private bond; a strict commitment between two persons: husband and wife. sexuality is not only physical attachment and sensual enjoyment and happiness, more it is the family responsibility, conveying love and respect for each other and receiving inspiration from our the most gracious and the most merciful, loving Creator.
