Dress code and its effect in Qatar
It is true that Muslims are strict as far as their dresses are concerned; they prescribe and prefer full and non revealing dresses for the members for their religion. Dress code which itself an arguable topic, has hold a lot of space and time in Gulf States in general. Qatar with its booming economy and large number of expatriates dare not and should not impose unnecessary restriction on dressing; the human right index of this country is already very low and has been the cause for the loss of candidature for the upcoming Olympic Games. Qatar should not take one more scar of dressing code unnecessarily.
Currently the most arguable topic is in highlight. Now people want free, happy life but due to dress code their happiness and freedom is falling on shadow. Because they can’t wear what they like this is totally mismatch with the freedom of life. So it’s very bad if we stay under the dress code. Nobody should be bound in this dress code they should be free.
Dress is not matter for effecting Muslim culture of Qatar. As we know Qatari culture is strong they have different history and society in Muslim culture. In my opinion from dress the culture will not change or effect. It’s a worthless debate. According to Mr. Ibrahim al –Ibrahim “if such revealing cloths are normal in their country, this not the situation in our country and they should be aware of that “he want to show how is the situation of Qatar and it’s culture. According to Holy Koran it’s true they should cover their whole body because they are precious gift of Grate Allah but for whom they accept the Allah either they are Muslim or non Muslim. If Qatar will start ruling on dress code, this will be totally mistake. They will snatch the freedom from their well-wishers.
It is easy to ruling over unconscious people such worthless topic but currently people will not agree if anybody will try to ruling over their freedom. So nobody should be tight in such rule which will directly effect to their personnel life.

no,its ok ...i dont like to see peoples runing half naked on the streets like they do here in the west.thats weird.
especially teenager girls does that to impress the guys.but they defenetly shows to much.even at scool.
so i find it not bad to have a kind of dress code.

I don't think anyone ...I don't think anyone complains about the way Muslims dress. The only two issues in the West are the wearing of religious symbols (of which the hijab is one) in government buildings (if you're an employee) and niqab, which prevents people from seeing your face and is potentially threatening, and in most countries they don't complain about it at all unless you're a government employee.

hijab is not a religious ...hijab is not a religious symbol! It is part of a dress code that all muslims must wear. And if anyone has ever walked down the street in any western country then they would have been hurled abuse for wearing islamic gear.
Unless of course she/he is wearing western style clothing that most westerners find elegant and fashionable and would wear themselves. And I have had more then a few compliments on my pretty colourful abayas.
The difference is that muslims do not find Tanks and shorts showing pretty legs and great cleavage fashionable or pretty. Many find it disgusting and revolting to wear such things in public.

But you said it yourself, ...But you said it yourself, it's a part of the MUSLIM Dress code, it states your religion as much as any cross would. And hurling insults, while despicable, is not the same as instituting or trying to institute laws against wearing them. As for what we find revolting and disgusting, I find niqab revolting and disgusting, but I'm not trying to tell Muslimah's in Canada not to wear it.

Gypsy it is completely your ...Gypsy it is completely your right to tell muslims in canada not to wear it if that is how you feel.
Why do we always have to be polite just because we are so scared of offending others?
Why can't we just voice our opinions and know that no matter the differences we still like each other for the common ground we both share?

Some of us in Qatar find the ...Some of us in Qatar find the Niqab revolting & disgusting. In fact well known Qatari writers (Fahad Al Thani, Hissa Al Awadi & Moza Al Malki) have wrote columns to ban niqab at government offices
Gypsy said
I know it's my right PH, but ...I know it's my right PH, but frankly, live and let live. Just because I see niqab as a symbol of oppression doesn't mean everyone does, and as these women are harming no one but themselves by wearing it, why would I say anything?? I also don't believe religious symbols should be banned in government offices, if someone wants to declare their religion, then so be it, but BE AWARE of the prejudice you might face because of it, just as I am when I declare myself an atheist or wear a mini-skirt out.
Why do people constantly have to force their beliefs on others?

Dress code and its effect in Qatar ...Im a western lady and i really do think the dresses that the Muslim ladys wear are very beautiful.I also want to wear the may i or is it against the elders believes that we western ladys can wear the dresses.My husband thinks you must be Muslim to wear them is it true or not.I dont want to wear them to make a mockery i want to wear them because it is so beautiful.Please tell me.

Gypsy I think in terms of ...Gypsy I think in terms of your mini skirts then it really is about the sex drive. I mean.. you know covering yourself up is an expression of religion..
But taking your clothes off is an expression of sex. And I think it would turn on most women and men to see a sexy girl walking by. Even in the west girls who wear skimpy clothing are called all sorts of names.
And I just think that in a conservative society you would be doing the sexual monkeys a favour by being a bit more covered. At least with the attempt you are then blameless should they continue to beat the monkey at the sight of you.
Of course, then the question is where do we draw the line?

I wouldn't say a mini skirt ...I wouldn't say a mini skirt has anything to do with sex at all, anymore then a tank top. It's fashion and summer wear. But as I said, I'm aware that that's what people think of mini-skirts here, and yet I still choose to wear one, why should anyone stop me? Why do people have to force their beliefs on me?

Up till the fourties, ladies in most countries wore dresses to cover their "modesty".. In many countres they still do.

If we're talking about what ...If we're talking about what I actually think about skimpy clothes, and not whether or not I have the right to wear them, then I have to say NO skimpy clothes are not liberating, quite the opposite, they are as demeaning as niqab.
But I don't want my actual dislike for skimpy clothes to detract from the fact that they are the only things you can buy here, and that's it's unfair to sell them if we aren't allowed to wear them.

Gypsy ...I have seen local Qatari ladies wear Mini skirts underneath their Abayas, the abayas bottom part is open to the middle. Definitely they put a show to be witness while they are walking in those high heels.

PH ...I totally agree with you. If women decided to go religious and started covering up according to Sheria, then no openings should be allowed.

How if tomrw Qatar OR the religion declares its ok not to wear Abayas???!!!!!

Nothing offensive ...I don't know anyone in America that finds the head cover offensive, even Catholics in America in the past used to wear a veil in church. To me its a sign they respect their religion. Its funny how people twist things. I am reading books about Spain for vacation and they even request people dress properly, its just respect!
