Khaled Abou El Fadl
We like to speak of Islam and liberation, but we close women behind curtains and walls and call it modesty. What modesty is there in men who cannot control their desires and who project upon women their subjugation fantasies? Every time we tell a woman to not speak or act or appear or breathe, we only affirm our own immodesty. What modesty is there in resisting temptation, not by sanitizing our hearts, but by purging women and turning our sisters and wives into a subjugated colony?
Khaled Abou El Fadl, The Search for Beauty in Islam: A Conference of the Books

Abhijit Naskar
Hijab and Habit are both symbols of sacred humility, Yet the latter receives respect, while the former faces cruelty.
