DDHK News, Qatar - A group of Qatari citizens ask tourists and foreign residents to respect Islamic values and dress modestly (closed) ahead of the month of Ramadan. They spread the appeal through social networks and social networks Twitter and Instagram.
"If you are in Qatar, you are one of us. Help us preserve Qatari culture and values, please dress modestly in public places, ”the leaflet was quoted as saying The Independent.
This sopa fashion campaign was launched by a group of Qatari women activists in response to the "cultural invasion" of foreigners who used to dress "openly".
"We don't want children to imitate this, we want to preserve our traditions and values," said the spokesperson for the dress code movement, Umm Abdullah.
"Foreigners have their own place to dress openly (to open their genitals), but we have the right to go to the hospital, to the market, to the mall, to the beach, without seeing these things (clothes that don't cover their genitals)," he added. .
A similar campaign was held by the Qatar Islamic Culture Center two years ago.
“The number of people who dress immodestly is growing in public places, especially shopping centers. Such foreign behavior is against our traditions, ”said Nasser Al-Maliki, Head of Public Relations of the Islamic Culture Center.
"We don't want our children to be influenced or imitate him and that is why we are starting this campaign."
Scheduled to be officially launched next June, this modest fashion move has sparked mixed reactions among social media users since it was announced. (mel / onislam.net / localhost / project / personal / ddhongkong.org / ddhongkong.org). *
