a friendly but long question for Muslims?

Question

I consider myself very luck growing up here in Toronto, Canada. I moved from different districts consisting of very diversed cultural groups. I was born as a muslim overseas but I chose not to follow the religion due to personal choice. I have friends from all over the world with different back ground, believes, cultural practices and interests. We all have one thing in common, we respect one and another and never questioned each other's fashion expression or music interests unless it's inflicting physical harm. I have Muslim friends from Somalia and Pakistan that wears hajib, I have Jamaican friends that love their raggea inspired clothing or simply body flattering clothes, I have friends that dresses in Goth and also there are the hip pop lovers too. I have latin american friends who love colorful sexy clothing as they told me it's just common to dress like that especially in Brazil because it's almost part of the culture. Me personally loves androgynous men's wear and loose baggy clothes because it's my preference at the moment. Some of my white canadian friends dresses like regular people without the stereotype of westerner prancing around half naked. We as common multicultural people never judge each other base on our clothes. Fashion is simply fashion or cultural. Non of my friend including me feels pressured to look a certain way as I have tried African outfits, Indian Sari and simple plain jane. Clothing does not represent the soul purpose of a particular individual but rather a statement of expression at their stage of life. Sometimes clothing is being passed down by culture or it really don't have anything meanings. One time me and my friends (Pakistani muslim, Jamaican dancehall teacher, Canadian, and a Latina) all dressed our own style and went to a concert here in Toronto. It was a Indie soul music theme. There was hajibs, short skirts, heels, tight pants and me the Adidas's break dancing gear. No one approached us or discriminated us at the concert because of what we were wearing..........BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF EDUCATED, CIVILIZED MATURE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO DONT LOOK AT FASHION AS A GATEWAY TO ONE'S PERSONALITY! my question is, for muslims, do you respect other's fashion choice such as Goth, Salsa outfitts, shorts for my island ladies, or men's wear on female? As I learn from my best friends, a lot of countries in the Caribbean wear less covered up clothing because it's simply their culture or climate reasons.

Answer 1

People can dress however they want but I don't approve of clothing that is too revealing. Even in the hottest deserts in Africa and the continent of Asia, people are covered up and wear loose clothing because it is cooler. Wearing skimpy clothing has nothing to do with staying cool. I live in Canada too but I'm very reserved in my dress and I do get flake for it.

Answer 2

In America, definite. I wish you are now not speakme approximately Muslims around the globe. The global does now not wish to be American. It's taking a side in their tradition. How'd you favor if anybody took Christmas or Mcdonalds away, I'd assume now not very a lot. Hijabs don't seem to be obligatory in Islam both, plenty of the days its worn given that of alternative cultural motives. Also I just lately learn a tale that there was a upward push within the acquire of swimming wear overlaying females from head to toe. Not definite if that is given that of faith or humans are simply getting fats and are ashamed. That isn't going to be unacceptable to us within the west is it?
