Where in the Q’ran does it proclaim it is haram for women to wear pants? Or bra? Or burqas? In fact, where in the Q’ran does it forbid half the things modern-day Islamic fundamentalists force on women?

A hardline Islamist group in Somalia has begun publicly whipping women for wearing bras that they claim violate Islam as they are 'deceptive'.
