Might you know someone with the use of just one eye? Might they cover the other? Might you consider them attractive even with just one eye? What if a female only had one eye - might she be attractive?
Apparently in Saudi Arabia they are hoping this is not the case.
Saudi cleric favours one-eye veil
BBC, October 3, 2008
A Muslim cleric in Saudi Arabia has called on women to wear a full veil, or niqab, that reveals only one eye.
Sheikh Muhammad al-Habadan said showing both eyes encouraged women to use eye make-up to look seductive.
The question of how much of her face a woman should cover is a controversial topic in many Muslim societies.
The niqab is more common in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, but women in much of the Muslim Middle East wear a headscarf which covers only their hair.
Sheikh Habadan, an ultra-conservative cleric who is said to have wide influence among religious Saudis, was answering questions on the Muslim satellite channel al-Majd.
