Ya'all pagal people (crazy people) made me so happy.<br /><br />MKL, Saudi Arabia is a sacred place for Muslims - especially Mecca where most of the clothing regulations are enforced. It is similar to the rules of attire enforced by the Vatican city for visitors. Every place deserves respect and the nature of respect depends on the culture of the place. Whereas female visitors to Vatican City are disallowed in skirts above the knees/shorts female visitors to sacred locations in Saudi Arabia are disallowed without being covering their heads and wearing dresses up to their ankles. <br />Also, for perspective, covering the head is not enforced in most cities in Saudi Arabia anymore.Kanwalfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04891061123244305574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977916873038990540.post-22888407635305938372010-06-06T19:48:44.734-07:002010-06-06T19:48:44.734-07:00Johana, this monthly interview thing is awesome!

Western women are also not...@Johana: Define decent. Western women are also not allowed to wear mini skirts in Saudi Arabia. Why? Because "decent" depends on each culture. We are liberal in Europe, but the long struggle for women's rights made us sensitive to the issue as well. This is really a complex debate, because it involves religion, freedom to express yourself and women's rights. Basically there's no real right here, it all depends on the way you look at the whole problem. Carina said it very well actually. Kudos to her.<br /><br />@Kanwalful: I CAN HEAR YOU, lol :P No worries. ;)TGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15796150972580581810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977916873038990540.post-79472446432313856412010-06-06T13:39:28.058-07:002010-06-06T13:39:28.058-07:00Carina To me it's ridiculous to ban the Muslim...<b>Carina</b> To me it's ridiculous to ban the Muslim women in Western countries from wearing a hijaab.

Lol!!<br /><br />As a person who lives in a country with MANY Pakistani immigrants it's interesting to hear from the ones who live there as oppose to here. I suspect Pakistanis in Pakistan are more liberal the Pakistanis in Norway. <br /><br />The hijab debate is an interesting and complicated one. I don't like the hijab because of how it places the responsibility for a man's wondering eye on the woman, and I'm scared to see that now young girls down to the age of 5 is wearing it here in Norway as they are become the frontline of the battle. BUT I will defend people's right to wear it, for the most part anyway.Hepburn Hiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731700754429635426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977916873038990540.post-17476783092143718142010-06-06T11:06:44.336-07:002010-06-06T11:06:44.336-07:00MKL and Barbara You guys should read her blog.
