With all the hoopla around Muslim women‘s dress many better have a look back in history seeing that there where years that Muslims were clothed much more ‘modern’ than women in their time or than Muslim women in certain regions today.

To remember
women liberated = ridiculously untrue
regimes brutal, squelched freedom of speech, imprisoned people seen as political dissidents
women “went backwards” again > many parts of Muslim world rebelled against this neocolonialism by going back to their Islamic roots
direct response to Imperialism
religious code of conduct.
