Dude i agree with you and all the Muslims should have the freedom to wear whatever they please. The criticism doesn’t stem from the freedom aspect much more from the hypocritical aspect. By that i mean the aspect in which deception is used. You must also understand that these “Pakistani women” who wear “Arabic garb” are trying to rub their religious piety and orthodoxy on other Pakistani women’s faces who don’t adhere to the “Arab Garb”. But that doesn’t mean that those women who wear Pakistani clothes are some how not decent and somehow less religious? You must understand that a woman who wears a burqa is as much pious as the same woman who wears shalwar kameez and covers her body well. The same could be said of the Molvie who adheres to the sunnah and the sufi who adheres to the philosophical thought of the dervaishes. Their religion is not different nor are their prayers. Therefore you must understand that wearing something shouldn’t change wearing someone’s religion or the fact that lifting up our pants to our ankles is gonna make us better than the same Muslim who prays 5 times with his pants covering his ankles. This is the mentality that gets criticized and not the freedom to lift your jeans up your ankles or wearing a turban.** Muslims are pleased to do whatever they want yet when you wear and then display your attire in such a way to play down down another Muslim’s religion is wrong and should be taken in to consideration. Because showing off in Islam even up to a point in which you Read the Quran really loudly as to give an impression of showing off is discouraged**. Hope that answers the question.

The bold part. How do you know that those who do cover themselves entirely do it to show off or to show that they are more muslim than those who dont.

From my experience, all the girls/women i know with the so called arabic attire are very nice and modest. They have never pointed fingers at others and i never heard them discussing other people’s choice of clothing or lifestyle. They follow the live and let live principle.

Ironically their intention is questionned by girls who wear tight revealing cloths.
