The Gulf of Bothnia separates Finland from Sweden.
What is Dress of a Muslim man?
According to a Hadith I read of Muhamad, he stated, that the Muslim dress code, the need for decency applies to both men and women. More to women, because they have *cough* more parts that will tempt a man, nevertheless, paraphrasing that Hadith;
"If a young man be handsome, and well made (physically fit), so as not to entice the eyes of married women or virgins, he needs to keep his body well covered, and he must keep decency of dress."
In other words if you are good looking and physically fit, you can't walk around showing off your muscles, in Islam that is in fact forbidden. For enticing a married woman, assuming it does not escalate to adultery, you can get flogged according Muslim law for indecent dress. I believe the punishment is 10 stripes. If you are pot-bellied, fat, gross overweight and disgusting, then it doesn't matter.
Hint on the above:
However, the minimum requirement, per Islam religion, is that the Muslim man dress should cover from the naval to knees.

Higher salary in Sweden Denmark or Norway?
Yes. In Norway you can make about 2 or 3 times what you would make in the US. I met a girl in Kristiansand that worked as help in a book store and made about $20/hr. However, living costs in Norway are crazy. A small beer is like $8-9 dollars and I remember paying $17 dollars for small fries a burger and a drink at Burger King in Oslo Sentralstajon. I almost cried. Sweden is a little cheaper, not sure about Denmark.

Is Finland part of Scandinavia-?
No. I'd say Finland isn't, but some people happily extend the term "Scandinavia" to Finland, along with Iceland and some even to Svalbard and Greenland.
Geographically, Finland isn't really, Iceland most certainly isn't, and neither is Greenland or Svalbard.
If you think about it: "Is Finland a Scandinavian country?" No, not really... But I'd happily group Finland with Scandinavia long before I'd group Scandinavia with Germany or Holland.
If you get what I mean...
Either way it goes, Finland is most certainly a Nordic country, and is part of the Nordic Council. Finland is a native of Norden!
Uhm..
