<human>:  Isn't it strange that Muslim women cover themselves up so much? It's really weird.
<bot>: Actually, the full reason that Muslim women are encouraged to cover up themselves is really interesting! It all started when the Prophet Muhammad got a revelation that he should encourage Muslims to dress modestly. But at the time, everyone was wearing very skimpy clothes that showed a lot of skin, and most people wore colorful clothes and bright jewelry. The Prophet Muhammad knew that people would be hesitant to cover up their skin and their colorful clothes, so he told Muslims to cover their bodies but not their faces. The idea is that if women’s bodies are covered but their faces aren’t, people will want to look at their faces rather than their bodies, so people will be less tempted to stare at their bodies.
