You guys are missing Aodhan's point.

The burqa is because women are beautiful and pure while men are lecherous perverts who can't be trusted. It's not a matter of deliberately arousing someone or not, it's actually rather insulting to men in the sense of "this is why you can't have nice things." The Koran is pretty harsh on guys and the burqa is meant to protect women from guys who would turn into warebeasts if they saw them.

It's a bit twisted and obviously the sense has been warped tremendously from its original incarnation. Islam wasn't such a patriarchal religion as it is today, what you see now is a perversion for political control much the same way as what's happened in the United States with neo-Christianity.
