Experts: French Muslim Women Often Wrongly Stereotyped

A series of highly publicized incidents involving Muslim women have reinforced popular perceptions that an intolerant, sexist brand of Islam is taking root in France - home to Europe's largest Muslim community. From Paris, Lisa Bryant reports for VOA that Muslims and experts argue Muslim women are often wrongly stereotyped.
Like most young women, Wafa Ben Salem goes out to movies and dinner, dates men - albeit usually with a chaperone - and is a self-avowed fashion maven. Still, she is a far cry from many of today's young women in France - in her body-covering clothes, the headscarf tied under her chin and Ben Salem's personal vow not to have sex before marriage.

sweet east pearl, good point, "B.S. no sex before marriage"
That's the problem young muslim men having it with french women, then looking for a virgin to marry. After marriage again hanging out with different women; the "virgin" often gets infected. The problem you may not have in your country, but here we have it.
