You'll be the Judge...
I never want to be judgmental...I never want to judge people or cultures...Since I realize that each of us have a unique way of doing something and a very individualized way of dealing with situations...
But there are some issues which simply do not make sense...
1. Why in the Islamic culture the attire of males have been Europeanized and the female attire is kept traditional...?
This is a strange and difficult to grasp situations...
During one of my walks in Toronto, i witnessed a situation...A young couple was jogging...The male had the lead...He was few steps ahead of his female partner...and he was jogging in blue shorts and green T-shirt...But the female was garbed in ancient and traditional Islamic fashion...
I could not grasp why...?
If males can be in shorts...why not the females shed the tradition too...?
Traditional male clothing...
Traditional female garb...
Traditional clothing and males and females and foreigners...
The male...His partner... and the European female...
The male tells the European female..."Cover up..." because otherwise you will arouse the males sexually and they may not be able to control themselves and then they may..want to have sex with you and if you do not allow that...then may may rape you...
The males in European attire for Friday prayers in the mosque...and the female in traditional Islamic clothing outside the mosque...

Islam is against exploitation...But Islamic States Exploit people...
But just like any other religion...the Islamic laws too are there for the convinience of the rich and powerfull...and not for spirituality...
Foreign labour treated as slaves...Their passport will be taken from them and they will live in squalid and crowded rooms...
