Ofcourse its a choice esp the clothing. But suddenly as soon as anyone gets religious out goes the shalwar kameez and in comes the Arab dress. Same for the language, what happened to ‘yar’ or ‘salam’ or ‘shukria’, why must it all be Arabised. And I find it as cringing as Pakistanis in Pakistan acting all Westerny which makes a mockery of our culture ie the fake angreezi accent etc or ulti seedhi topiyaan to act black. We have a brilliant culture with vastly diverse traditions, I don’t like how its being eroded. In places like UK if us desis living there won’t hold onto something Pakistani then I don’t think our future generations would either.

Also what I am saying is due to my own personal experiences I should add, I did not mean to generalise.

Funny enough the hardest core religious jihadi Arabs wear Shalwar Qameez, a reminder of Afghans.
