A campaign to explore ways to combat the growing number of women wearing skimpy clothing has served to symbolize the concerns among Emiratis, a tiny minority in their own country. They ban ‘abaya’ we ban ‘skimpy cloths’.
“While going to a mall, I saw two ladies wearing … I can’t say even shorts. It was underwear,” said al-Muhairi, whose black abaya — a long garment worn by conservative Gulf women — is offset by a gold Versace watch and egg-shell blue handbag. “Really, they were not shorts,” she said. “I was standing and thinking: ‘Why is this continuing? Why is it in the mall? I see families. I see kids around.’” Failing to persuade the mall to intervene, al-Muhairi and another Emirati woman, Hanan al-Rayes, took to Twitter to air their concerns in May."
Its interesting. In Europe and the US immigrants are required to respect local law and culture. In the Arab and African nations they do the exact opposite.
A campaign has been going on for a few months about dress code. But Dubai authorities may not lend full support to such a drive because Dubai's priorities are different. The emirate has the largest numbers of European expats who go about their routine life without caring much about local sensitivities. I don't think Dubai would like to change its image about lifestyle of different communities.

Very Interesting.
Now don't start saying that West is a democracy and all that. Do unto others what you want others to do unto you.
I'm not suggesting girls start wearing skimpy clothes it really is their business, but skimpy clothes are only an issue when it is so rare. In the West you see girls wearing such clothes and you really don't care and don't take a second look.

Right. So people taking off the Hijab in public places in France is now doing the exact opposite. You have such a warped view of the world. Have you ever left India?

If we justify this forced following of our traditions by Westerners in Muslim countries then we should forsake our right to condemn forced imposition of Western values on Muslims in Islamophobic societies like Netherlands.
One can not have the cake and eat it too.

The beauty is people like you do just that. After all you defended the french ban on Hjiab correct? So you are most certainly in favour of this development :D
