[quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous]It pisses me off no end to go somewhere on a hot summer day and see little girls in long sleeves and jeans.  That's just miserable and inappropriate for the weather. It's abusive. If you have to put your kids in wrist-to-ankle clothing, you could at least put them in a thin linen or khaki or cotton outfit. It's especially awful at a theme park like Six Flags, when the family is going to be there all day.

I don't care much about what adult women do, but when I see a grown woman in the US in a full black outfit, rather than just a head scarf, I have to think that there is a bit of a "fuck you" to American culture.  Her family is trying to make sure that we understand that they don't approve of our culture. It's a bit rude.

You must be a very angry person. Do send us a photo of yourself and your children so we can all try to look like you and be like you so there's no chance of the rest of us being anti-American. First children are not required to wear the hijab, [b]second the way parents choose to dress their children has nothing to do with you[/b]. The fact that you say there is a big fuck you to american culture when a grown woman chooses to dress the way she wants shows your narrowmindness. On a side note you are a perfect example of how liberalism and secularism are just the same as the ideologies they oppose. "Liberalism" - you can be anything you want, as long as you are liberal. "Secularism" - you can believe anything you want, as long as those beliefs are secular.

Not particularly.

I would object to kids dressed without winter coats in winter weather, too. Jeans and a long sleeve cotton/spandex shirt in the summer in most of the US is not appropriate. It's too heavy and too hot.  Parents could at least make an effort to dress those girls in light pants and shirts, but they don't.   It's abusive. Over-heating, dehydration and heat stroke are real issues even when dressed appropriately.  It's a worse issue when the kids are wearing jeans. Kids are everyone's concern, not just the parents.

As far as adults go, we require our American military women to dress in the full black outfit when they are in Saudi, because it's respectful of our hosts.  Our reporters wear headscarves when they are reporting from Muslim countries. Our First Ladies frequently wears headscarves when visiting Muslim countries. The refusal of some Muslim women to modify their dress from the full black outfit to something more similar to what Americans wear when they are here is disrespectful.
