Pilgram, despite you being here for 5 years its quite evident that you dont know the difference in what culture is and religious belief is.


Yes, if the man had worn shorts above his knee and if he is a muslim then, yes is is shameful but if its below and wearing a proper tshirt then its not.


With regard to the women, its NOT a compulsion on anyone to wear a Niqab but its based on religion and bit of culture alone. If one is religious then she can do so, in fear of God only. In Qatar there are many muslim women mainly the expats (shamefully, in my humble opinion) wear tight fitting, clothing exposing the shape of the body. Thats their opinion and their belief.


But women wearing Niqab are NOT forced. its a requirment of the religion, just like the Nuns of Christianty have to. If you see a Nun walking down Cornishe will u admoish her to for being forced into wearing a thing like gown with head cover???its her option to be religious and to please god...How is that shameful???Its in the same lines...


At the same time if you see a woman dressed in tank tops, she is supposed to be NOt shameful is it... she chosing to expose more than 70% of her body to strangers who obviosly will glare at her???the next thing is she is being followed, hawked,raped and thrown in a gutter like a prostitute...who intitated what here???and who was shameful in the first place???
