Dressing Fatimah Muslim Style
American women and their Muslim counterparts have very little in common, especially when it comes to wardrobe selection. Muslim men and sharia law determine the dress code as far as their style is concerned. The women dress in clothing that reflects their unique culture and the directives of sharia (rhymes with diarrhea) law.
Western Gals are free to embrace every imaginable style while islamic females must dress in accordance to the fashions worn by middle eastern women two thousand years ago.
Here’s a rundown on the standard clothing as prescribed by the religious and social mores of the times. We have assembled a list of basic islamic women’s wear items but omitted more personal undergarments like bras and panties. Any non believer who might sneak a peak, would probably cause the woman to be stoned to death.
East and west seem to share some common ground here, so we have chosen to bypass the more intimate part of a lady’s ensemble. like bras, and panties where anything goes. ( we hear). We might save that for a later study.
American women, unlike their middle-eastern couterparts are free to choose whatever they pleas They are much more relaxed and uninhibited in what they wear. Many believe that “less is best,” while the adherents of Islam adorn themselves with multiple layers of cloth robes and scarfs and head dressings and body wraps an nauseam. That's the difference between being an equal and being owned like a slave. Women must dress in layers of traditional clothing, designed to shield themselves from the lecherous eyes of every Arab male except a husband or other close relative. Any hint of form or female sexuality is not allowed and except for the introduction of color and pattern to their wardrobe, their clothing styles haven’t changed since pre-biblical times.
The truth is that the various articles of clothing muslims wear are required. Muslim husbands insist on wrapping their wives in layer after layer of baggy fabrics. They claim it is all part of sharia law which downgrades a woman to the status of property not to be viewed by anyone but their tyranical husbands. But those muslim husbands allow themselves to gawk at beautiful western women, part of the double standard that is common.
Khimars: Color doesnt help
A Khimar is a head scarf that a muslim woman drapes over her entire top half of her body to covering herself from her head to her waist. (picture a tent) It’s part of a layering process that has been in vogue in middle eastern countries for thousands of years. Hides a multitude of female problems, especially overweight figures
Abaya
Abaya
A must in Arab Gulf country like Saudi Arabia, where women walk obediently a few steps behind their masters (husbands). Abaya sounds similar to obey ya, which she better do. It is usually all black and sometimes decorated with embroidery or sequins. It is worn so as to not expose whatever it was intended to hide- everything. This garment covers a woman from head to toe and shields her from the eyes of strangers who try to sneak a peak at what's inside the black wrapping (Abaya)
