Bismillah
"I'm just hoping that Muslims don't judge non-Islamic women based on their appearance & consequently label them as immoral & immodest. For me, virtue comes from within."
Everyone is judged by their appearance. We may try to refrain from this nature or understand that one cannot always judge a book by its cover, yet it is very rare (cannot think of a time) when a "good catholic girl" wore a hot mini skirt with a midriff exposing/bosom enhancing top.
Virtue does come from the heart but it will manifest outwardly.
How do we judge an apple's ripeness and taste? the health of an animal? It is the nature of the world that we judge according to observations.
