So you're saying in an Islamic country, uncovered women get killed?

Why do people who have never been to a country only go by what they have heard or see on the TV? And why do news crews try so hard to portray all women as being swathed in sheets and bags when this is not the case? I've been to Pakistan, a so-called "islamic" country. You know, where you've heard of unislamic honor killings being done (Islam says rapist gets stoned to death, not victim). I remember getting off of the plane in Lahore and looking around. The entire trip, most women were very loosely covered, if covered at all. Many only had the "dupatta" hanging off of their shoulders, but not their heads covered. And the style of clothing is so tight that even big chested women don't need a bra. I actually had to fight to get my own clothing made loosely because it was so tight I could not breathe. Why do you people (not all, some) hold so tightly to stereotypes even when they're broken right in front of you?
