Not among the 1 billion Muslims who actually know that there is no such thing as "Muslim" dress. Or anyone else with a clue.[/quote]

No such thing as muslim dress? Whats the burka?[/quote]

Read a book, for God's sake. Burqas are tribal dress, traditional in parts of Afghanistan and Central/South Asia, but as far as I know it is not a word included anywhere in the Koran. The Koran proscribes modest dress, which has been interpreted in wildly different ways depending on time period, social class, national/tribal customs. Modest dress itself is generally equated with veiling - which is typically called hijab in Arabic and Persian (not sure about other languages.) Some countries require this by law (Saudi, Iran), many others don't but it may be effectively required by social norms. That is more education on this issue than your semi-literate query deserves, but less than you need.[/quote]

In the Persian or Farsi, the head and body cover is a chador, not a hijab which covers only the hair.    Perhaps you should follow your own advice, PP.  [/quote]
Not pp but,
Farsi is a language
Persian is a culture
In Iran women can wear scarves to cover hair to meet [b]government imposed requirements[/b], no veil and, a "traditional" chador  if they [i]want[/i] to.
Iran fashion show - fyi
