I’m not being a cynic here but im only trying to show you how complex it is to say that 1 group of people is somehow better than the other based on what they wear.

Understood and agreed. But then how did you come to the following conclusion?

@McPendo

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. the Muslims.

So hijabi/bearded men are all a victim of the molvi mentality who’re not trying to please God but to show off to the world? Really McPendo, are you not passing judgements about people based on their appearance now? How do you know their intentions?

You made some great points in this thread but this bit really emphasizes what I’m about to say next. That the non-hijabis and the non-bearded men (muslims and non-muslims alike) are far more judgemental of the hijabi/bearded lot than the other way around. That is something that I have observed personally and Sajania786’s experiences reiterate this point. “It is complex to say that 1 group of people is somehow better than the other based on what they wear” but it seems to be very easy to use words like “mullah” and “molvi” in a degrading manner for those who dared follow the sunnah and to question their choices.

@McPendo

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.”

I don’t understand why you don’t understand. They do it because the Prophet saw did it. Simple. Why should their decision be affected by what the terrorists wear or how amir liaqat was able to fool everyone by appearing all pious?
