How do Muslims dress in Syria?

Answer 1

I will tell you, as a Syrian Christian female how my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters dress in my country. Muslim men here in Syria wear jeans and shirts just as in other country. As for females, a large percent of Muslim females in Syria do not wear Hijab, this has nothing to do with not being practicing Muslims. Almost all Muslims in Syria are practicing, males/females-Hijab wearing and none Hijab wearing/youth/elders. None Hijab wearing women wear jeans and tops just as they do in any other country. Hijab wearing women, wear the same clothes as the none Hijab wearing women but with shirts and T-shirts being long sleeved. They wear plenty of makeup, and many of the most attractive women I've met were Syrian women who wear the Hijab. Many Hijab wearing women in Syria wear tighter and much more alluring clothes than none Hijab wearing women do. As part of Arab culture, we (Christian or Muslim) as females do not wear shorts, belly showing tops, cleavage showing tops etc etc in public and prefer to be on the modest side of fashion. This has nothing to do with lack of freedom, womens rights or any other nonsense many Westerners think we, as Arab women put up with. This is part of our culture. Please come and visit, you will enjoy yourself very much and be extremely surprised by how inaccurately we (Muslims/Christians) of the Middle East are portrayed on Western news and TV. Have a great day and God bless both you and your family. *I would like to explain, in case you do not know, that the Hijab only covers hair*
