They just prioritize Islam first and cultural believes, second. Just because you can't see what are they wearing inside their houses, it doesn't mean they don't wear it and are against it.

Nishat Aamir 5 years ago Reply I think people who agree with this blog are not supposed a Muslim and Pakistani. Every women has to do follow culture or not and also every women has authority to do fashion or not in context of sindhi ,balochi etc you can't say hijab or naqab is not allowed in Islam. To point out naqab you actually want to defame islam Anjum Hameed 5 years ago Reply Ever since our labour went into the Gulf countries have we had to endure this rubbish black-bin form of dressing..

Khadeeja Chahat Butt 5 years ago Reply Dear Author, Thank you for posting modernized western shalwar qameez and calling it our traditional dress! If you were that desperate to show a comparison to least pics he original post kar datay. A picture of a model wearing so called shalwar qmaeez, took in a staged environment is not what represent the culture of Pakistan.

Don't know about Karachi but Aik chakar Lahore ka laga ayn, you will find "authentic cultural dresses worn by real people" Authentic Shalwar Qameez is a decent dress which follows the instructions of Quran i.

It has full sleeves, proper coverage and a duppta to cover head. Why you don't find it or the finding bother you is dimag ki kharabi perhaps not enough flesh is reveling P. S: Dressing is a matter of choice and ladies used to wear "Burka" a. George Carty 5 years ago Reply "Eskimo" is the Algonquian exonym for the Inuit -- it literally means "eater of raw meat". My2Cents 5 years ago That's very interesting.

But, by definition, an exonym is a name for a group given by others that the group does not use for themselves, so again, there never has been a Tribe called Eskimos. It's funny, considering they lived so far away from each other. Almost as if they never met, or would meet, considering the thousands of miles separating their tribes in every direction. Sure they shared Canada, but the Inuit stuck to the extreme northern regions, and the Algonquians never ventured passed Ottawa Marx Tsa Giovanni 5 years ago Reply All the traditional ones look gourgeos.

They fit the female form and highlight their beauty, but the one that completely covers that is the "diversity" that crazy middle-class ideologues want to protect. Rohim Kholasin 5 years ago Reply Astaghfirullah, this article was one of worst article I've ever known!!!! Obviously, each country have their traditional dress. But, Islam is teaching how women to be dressing on public area.

And wear traditional dress can be applied in their muslim women home. Shajee Fareedi 5 years ago Reply I like the first one Green Dress and want to buy, is there available for sell? Logical 5 years ago Reply Where do you work? Logical 5 years ago Reply Your country is already being hijacked by Saudi Arabia and wahhabism.

Logical 5 years ago Reply Why don't men have the same standard of modesty as women? That seems really sexist to me. A woman wearing a T shirt and jeans is not "naked".

That is just silly. Logical 5 years ago Reply So forcing women to look through a mesh every time they are outdoors is a symbol of Islam? Makes sense, as it is very oppressive to women. Logical 5 years ago Reply Very interesting choice of words, "confinement". Because the Islamic standards of modesty are very confining. Logical 5 years ago Reply Killing people who commit adultery is less moral that actually committing adultery.

Logical 5 years ago Reply So you will spend your entire life looking through a mesh? Are you saying that Islamic culture is just Arab culture? Notice how small of a percentage of Muslim women wear it, and mostly in Gulf Arab countries? Riyaz 5 years ago Reply Dear Author!

Nikab is not a traditional dress. Do you mean that in the pictures you shared from different countries the women in burka are wearing no dress inside burka? Mostly women wear their traditional dresses in their homes not streets.

Do you want to display their dresses and their beauty for the evil gaze on streets. Absurd logic in the garb of traditional dress.

It is just burka bashing. Logical 5 years ago If muslims only have Islam for a culture then they must make terrible citizens. Salma Khokhar 5 years ago Reply Im sure shes wearing a shalwar qamiz under her burqa.

Im sure she dresses up nicely at home in front of her mahram family. Shes covering up because shes out in the streets And Allah says in the quran that shes to cover when she leaves her home so she doesnt get stared at by shop keepers and drivers and taxi cab drivers or oglers in general. You never know But its not for all to see. As long as a woman reveals bare shoulder and midriffs its all beautiful? But if she covers and decides not to display herself it becomes ugly? I think its entirely a womans decision whether to please society And for those who say there is no such command in the quran And yes Del Stone 5 years ago Reply You confuse and conflate home and public dress.

Islam allows for both. It is not a mutually exclusive choice. You are trying to elevate your "culture" at the expense of other's religion. What has a women wearing a niqab or burka ever done to you?

Has a non-ignorant person ever forced you to wear a niqab or burka? I don't think they would appreciate being the butt of your jokes, with photographic evidence none-the-less. Also, those who say that hijab or burka is not in the Quran, they are perhaps very uninformed- Quran - "Tell thy wives and thy daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them Why is it that you talk about cultural dresses and the hijab as if they are two polar opposites- as if they cannot co-exist?

It's like saying, if you wish to wear trainers you cannot possibly wear heels; you don't wear them both simultaneously obviously , but you wear one in one social situation and the other in another. Just because you choose to wear one one day, it's not like you have abandoned the other for ever and can't possibly just wear the other later that day.

For me personally, growing up and living in London all my life, by the way , I choose to fully cover myself when at uni, work, etc, freeing myself from the chains of society, and wearing jeans, dresses, cultural dresses and quite frankly whatever the hell I want when in the privacy of my own home, at dinner parties with friends, and the list goes on.

In short, my point is your research sucks as you clearly don't understand the concept of hijab so stop demonizing it and those who wish to wear it. Side point: dear men, please stop speaking my mind for me. I am more than capable of doing so myself.

Nasreen Khan 5 years ago Reply You are comparing apples with oranges. There is difference between a Muslim dress and a non-Muslim dress. Depends on who wants to keep their Muslim identity, and who doesn't.

One chooses to obey the commands of the Creator, while the other doesn't. Thanks for proving my point, that this is just a matter of men's preferences regarding women's looks and availability to them.

Oxy Moron 5 years ago Availability! Ha Ha - Nice try, but like I was just telling Noman here, its a complete waste of time, and I'm honestly totally out of it today, Priscilla. Mother Nature 5 years ago Reply From a truly sublime wardrobe to the emblem of the most misogynist political ideology in all of human history. HKhan 5 years ago Reply This attempt to Hijack the ideology of this country is bound to fail, the percentage of liberals in this country is directly proportional to or may be even equal to the percentage of body these liberal want their women to cover, which is very little of course.

Even if it isn't, it would just be wrong. Rubina Majid 5 years ago Reply It is called importing the Saudi Culture and looking down on your own culture!! Chase Steffen 5 years ago Reply Those dresses are gorgeous.

Dress is cultural, and each culture tends to be different every miles apart. Pakistan is an exception in this regard, where a dress was labeled as a national dress and almost every Pakistani has at least one pair of such clothing.

When it comes to clothing, particularly Hijab, we need to be pro-choice, that is a woman should have the freedom to wear what is comfortable to her, as a majority of women tend to be modest no matter what faith or culture they come from.

No Taliban brute should force her to cover up completely or French brute to force them to wear fewer clothes. Neither of them respects woman's choices. I hope some one can take the time to put the dates on the critical changes, that is, when did a mass movement to wear Hijab the fashionable head covering began.

Tentatively, I place the date to be AD, so we can discuss and arrive at a more precise date. I thank God for giving me the wisdom not to blurt out, "not with me" instead, I responded, "its your choice".

But deep down, I did not want her to wear Hijab, but did not want to sound like a brutish man either. Of course she did not wear it and I have no idea if she was testing my "open mindedness" and pluralistic attitudes, regardless, I felt good for keeping my attitude of live and let live. What was ironic was their mothers and family members did not, the girls chose it on their own and then the mothers started copying them, mind you many of these women had never worn Hijab before. I had never seen Muslim Female Doctor wearing the Hijab before but the movement started then.

The same trends are observed around the world. Hijab is a fashion statement along with an expression of a new identity. It is certainly not Islamic, the Islamic requirement is nothing different than calling men to be modest and not stare at women, and women to be modest and cover their bosoms, which all religions, cultures and societies call for.

No urban society in general is comfortable wearing clothes that sexually incites others. Mike Ghouse www. The Prophet was told in the Quran not to take any more wives even if their beauty inspired him. Now go figure! So I belong to half iranian half pakistani parents and I am currently residing in the west. Never been forced to coverup or do anything Islamic. I choose to coverup no one forces me to. Under my abaya is my cultural shalwar kameez or whatever western clothes I want to wear but that is only for my family my mahram's eyes not every Tom dick and Harry.

The writer is biased. After living in karachi for the last two years, I'd say karachi is very multicultural. Whilst there are women in jubba and burka, there are also women in sleeveless low cut tops etc so live and let live. Who is he to worry about culture in regards to womens clothing? Has he got nothing better to do? And bring on naats, nasheeds any day as opposed to the vulgar Indian songs that talk about vulgar acts and zina.

Let Muslim women stay covered let them stay dignified where they are not judged by 36 26 Their beautiful cultural dresses are for the eyes of their family and their mahram men. My Muslim sisters, you need to coverup.

When an uncovered woman walks down the street, every neck that turns, every eye that gazes her, she shares the sin. And sisters the truth of the matter is, when your body is on that slab being washed with cold water, remember all those men whose neck you have turned? Guess what, they will do nothing for you. Not whilst you are in your grave and not in the akhirah! Prophet Mohammed pbuh waged war against banu qanuiqa and invaded the Jews because they mocked the honour of One Muslim woman- think about it!

That's how much your religion honours you sisters. That's how much your Prophet Mohammed pbuh honoured you. And preserving the honour of Muslim women was the sunnat followed by the Khulafa. Khalifa Muhtasam was called upon by one Muslim woman because her honour was mocked and he responded by sending an army to fight the superpower of their time- Rome, who they conquered- just to save honour of one muslima.

That's how much our true Muslim brothers our true Muslim men honour us! We are far superior than dressing up for every man on the street in our so called cultural dresses. Yes we dress up beautifully in our cultural clothes but only for the eyes of our family and our husbands. Islam have honoured us dignified us.

That fool on the bill board, that's not us. That woman dancing in music videos, that's not us. That girl dressed up to impress men on the street- that's not us. Sisters hold on to La Ilaha Il Allah and believe me, you look like angels walking down the road in your hijab or niqab holding on to La Ilaha Il Allah when every one else is walking around half naked. Syed Sajid Ali 5 years ago Reply Noman Have explained his view and everyone is going nuts i have read the complete comments and everyone is sharing their own thoughts and its not their fault that they are limited to their thinking.

Noman have mentioned in comments that he wears what suits him and he was wearing a brown Kurta as well. Even the students at convocations do wear the black cloak because by gaining a specific degree they are thought capable of wearing this.

So why do they have to wear these different dresses while they can wear shorts while operating, slippers in court and rainbow Tshirts? Why they are bounded to such rules? Because by attaining these positions they have distinct from other society and should be regarded and reputed and recognized by their wearing. So why pointing the beard and veils, if society is forcing Bankers to wear Dress shirts and pants not even the national dress like shalwar kameez, Gym Khana is not allowing entry if you are wearing chppal or shorts and even if a educational institute not allowing it.

And you can search the dresses code of organizations online and similarly there are religious dress codes as well but we can't force them because if you are not following the code and conducts of an organization you can't be the part of that organization similarly you can't be the part of religion if you're not following its conducts and regulations. I for one, being a Celt would not like seeing a Celtic woman dressed in a burqa.

Oxy Moron 5 years ago Reply And you had to upvote your own comment to emphasize that. You are as much a rationalist as I am the tooth fairy.

Asra 5 years ago Reply First of all it's a highlighting issue brought up by you. Pardah or as u call it naqab has many interpretations. As far as I know, Islam simply tells women as well as man to do pardah..

On the other hand if she chooses to wear a naqab with full face covered,so be it. The choice should be that of woman, and this choice she can only have it when she learns about her religion by reading and understanding on her own instead of carrying the burden of knowledge from her parents and family. We can't attach a dress code for a country in which multicultural people resides.

Like Pakistan and India. They can decide so by majority population choice, as in india you showed the symbolic dress to be sari which is an attire of majority population now worn occasionally. Babrak Khan 5 years ago Reply I didnt like your article Sarim 5 years ago Reply As a muslim, women must follow the dress of Hazrat Fatima radiAllah anha and the wives of Holy Prophet sallallaho alihey wassalam that is niqab. Women are free to wear whatever they are comfortable with. Men should lower their gaze My Gana 5 years ago Reply Burqas are for conservative rich women, who never need to become primary income earner for the family if the husband dies before them.

M 5 years ago Reply Is it really free choice if they are fed religion from a young age? It sounds like indoctrination to me.

Asy ma wail! Humanity got in shape, the way it is today, due to different intellectual stimulus influencing the common sense and knowledge of the humankind and no doubt religious philosophies are few of those stimulus. There are places where people wear some sort of clothes and they never accept wearing others very acceptable clothes in other parts of the earth, so what should I say?

Are they being indoctrinated? My point is, that in many places the girls might be covering due to established norm in society with not really having choices, but in places where they have more choices, I have seen them picking it up by themselves, with their free will. If that is the case, then we do not have any right to identify them with stereotypical stigmas.

I hope I made it clear. M 5 years ago Reply You nailed it. After a few pictures I was starting to consider wearing a burqa myself, and I'm not even a muslim. This is the main problem with posts like this - that they pit one way of objectifying women against another. We are not your dolls to dress up after your own preferences!

We are not here to be eye candy for your benefit! We are real, live human beings and we are allowed to wear whatever the fuck we want. Your opinion on it means nothing! If you enjoy a sparkly, shiny dress then YOU wear one! And labour for women's rights to wear what WE choose to wear.

Even if that would be a niqab. Logical 5 years ago Why so angry? Noman Ansari 5 years ago I'm sorry the point of the blog completely escaped you. It wasn't even very subtle. The pictures compare the clothing. Get your mind out of the box and try to look within the context. There is no objectification here.

I asked for proof, and then explained that it's hypocritical and illogical to assert that men cannot comment on women's issues.

The people trying to stop such a woman from wearing burqaa violate one of the basic human rights.

Burqaa or Niqaab is not something new. Many women wore it in s too. Dress is a personal matter and so is a woman's personal concept of modesty. Besides, dress is one of the things which are directly onflueinfl by religion.. Therein lies the problem.
