To play devils advocate, that would mean that most members of the media (or at least most photo-journalists) in this country would be arrested the moment they step foot into almost any Islamic country, as posting a photo of a woman clad in anything “immodest” is gnerally considered a crime in those countries (and most of what women wear in this country would classify as “immodest”).

That’s the standard you are suggesting…

Not sayig whether that’s the correct standard or not, just making sure you realize the full implications.
