Islam has a major PR issue if it really believes it will ever convince any decent human that sex with kids is OK.
Little girls at EIGHT YEARS OLD, are supposed to start covering up with the costume which supposedly stops men lusting after them, that in itself says a lot about a cultures belief in the moral abilities of it's males to control their deviate sexual urges.
First of all Mozza, I don't believe that either Abu_Rashid nor myself have ever said that simply being 8 years old is the criteria for a girl to cover.
The criteria for a woman covering is that she has reached puberty and as I'm sure you're aware, there is no specific age that is attached to that.
Furthermore, I don't quite understand why you feel the need to see more than the face and hands of a girl who's just hit puberty or who is older? How is it any of your business what she looks like other than her face and her hands?
You see it's your precious, holier than thou secular West that has the greatest perversions, Western secular society sexually objectifies women by putting them as objects for our lusts to sell various products on billboards and many other ways.
Muslim women however cover everything except their hands and face in front of all males that are not closely related to them. In front of their close family and other females they are not required to cover everything but the face and hands. Because we DON'T see them simply as objects for our own gratification.

We have some pretty sad instances of western businesses promoting and selling 'SEXY' clothes for kids, and that sucks, but the kids do not understand that these clothes are other than trendy, sexuality is a concept they have not even assimilated at that age.
That's not quite true at all, statistics show that about 20% teenagers have had sexual intercourse by the age of 15. That's sexual intercourse, other sexual experiences begin earlier and are at higher percentages.

So like all normal people I would prefer that people just allowed kids to be kids, the burkah and the hotpants outfit are opposite extremes from sick people who want to rob kids of their childhood.
I hope you know that neither the burkha nor the niqaab are considered mandatory in Islam and wearing them are very much a cultural practice. In fact the Niqaab is great for being in the deserts of Arabia because of the protection it gives from the harsh elements. However it has no religious value.
