Its because being Muslim is all about the looks now. Long beard, no mustache, shalwar up the ankle, turban= Epic Mega Muslim Man. Women also have seem to pick up on this and they’re following the same “molvie” mentality of outward appearence to appease not God but their fellow Muslims. Islam is not about who can dress up a certain way and “look” a certain way. It is a universal religion, although the Prophet did said to dress differently other than the “Pagans of mecca” but that was only when Islam was in its infancy and Muslims needed to be distinguished from the Pagans. After the conquest of Mecca and subsequent islamification of arabia no dress code was ever forced upon the Muslims. I don’t understand why people think dressing up a certain way is going to make them look “good” in the eyes of God? “Don’t they know that Allah knows whats in the hearts of men.”

Agree with you but this kind of argument is actually used to make fun of and/or criticize people who feel comfortable with whatever they like to wear.

Why even ask the question which OP asked? Why can’t those people be left alone?

(Why didn’t OP ask "Why do Pakistani women wear see through or revealing clothings in America? )

I agree 100% sareh, but the thing here is why must we have to attach to a certain dress code in order to be recognized as muslims? In the Quran it is no where said that “Thou shalt not wear Shalwar Kameez” or Thou shalt Always wear a choga type thing and keep thy beards Long" Allah warns the people in the Quran of the impending after life which we all must pay for. Quran and Islam emphasizes heavily the distractions men and women face in the “Material” world. However Quran does mentions that women should cover up their bodies, no where does it ever state that they should completely dab themselves in the burqa. I would now like to point out here that Abu-Jahl the greatest enemy of the Prophet wore the same clothes as our Prophet did, He also had the beard like the Prophet and long hair, yet his view-points were completely different. Same thing can be said about the terrorists who explode bombs all while adhering to the so called “Islamic” dress-code.

But if they are thinking it will give them better cover of their bodies, then why criticize and give example:

“You can wear such and such clothings too!”

If they wanted to they would have before anyone points out to them. Right?

I do not understand one thing:

Why does freedom to do whatever have to be in one direction,… and not towards those who want to wear arabic like clothings?

Why all hell breaks loose when these women wear arabic looking clothes and all arguments and sarcasm come flying against them?

P.S. I am merely discussing the attitude, absolutely don’t care for arabic looking attire.
