Iran went through a similar change when the Ayatollah took over...women even protested being forced to wear Hijab.

Of course you'll claim this is Western propaganda.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Kumbe it's Uncle Sam who promoted the spread of radical islam. So @alphdoti & co are just pawns in the big geopolitical war game.

Spread of Wahhabism was done at request of West during Cold War – Saudi crown prince

No. One does not have to wear burka to be Muslim. Islam dress code is simple Below is criteria for hijab, given in the Quran as well as authentic (Sahih) hadith/Sunnah, the clothes should not be so tight to reveal the figure, it should not be transparent such that one can see through, it should not be so glamorous as to attract the opposite sex, it should not resemble that of the opposite sex, it should not resemble that of the unbelievers i.e. we should not wear clothes which are sign or identity of some groups who are unbelievers, extent between the man and the woman, of the body that should be covered. For the man it is from the navel to the knees. For women the complete body except the face and the hands up to the wrist should be covered.

Does this also refer to men dressing coz i see many men in western suits and neckties "that resemble those of unbelievers". Shouldnt all muslim men also be dressing in an islamic way eg kanzu or like the saudi men. You cant force women to dress in an islamic way and yet allow the men to dress in an "unislamic" way (suits and jeans). If you kenyan muslim men only wear the kanzu on fridays when going for prayers, then the women should also only wear the burka on fridays.

1. The problem IMO is imposing a dress code for all seasons for a group of people and punishing grownups for what they choose to wear. People should dress appropriately for the weather, activity, occassion, style and occupation. Let's break it down:

2. Weather - dress to keep yourself warm or cool. Westerners are accused of promoting nakedness but in winter they wear fur coats, boots, sweaters, woolen hats, gloves, socks. In the hot months in the tropics natural woven cotton or linen fibres are appropriate to keep cool. Best for women to wear natural fibre undergarments or go ngothaless.

3. Activity - dress appropriately for comfort, safety and perfomance when engaged in physical activities. Don't go running in office leather shoes or bathroom slippers. It's disgusting to go swimming in a pool with T-Shirts, boxers, buibuis and headscarves in the name of modesty. Sleep naked if you want.

4. Occassion - I admit, I like attending contemporary African introductions, dowry negotiations and ruracios because people really dress well, Wacha tu. Back to my point, dress for the occassion. Wear a suit to a business meeting, wear a Kanzu to the mosque, wear a gown on your graduation, exotic costume to a costume party, victorian wedding gown for your wedding. Again these are conventions but no one should suffer beheading for going against convention.

5. Style - Every human being is different. People have different tastes and preferences. Orie Rogo defines herself with her head scarves. PLO Lumumba with his maoist suits. If a woman wants to wear Rwandan Mushanana or Maasai shuka or japanese kimono style, let her.

6. Occupation - disciplined forces have their own dress codes which are remarkably similar for western, eastern and in-between countries. Health professionals, lawyers, mechanics, hospitality industry professionals. Let people dress according to their professional conventions. Let students wear prescribed uniform, let priests, nuns, imams, rabbis wear their garb BUT don't force the general grown-up populace to dress like students or nuns.
