Talk:Islamic clothing

“Islamic dress” inherently white-washed terminology

I propose that this article flattens what is a spectrum of dress by many quite different groups who share self-identity as muslims by staying close to a narrative that “muslims” wear “muslim clothes” and seeking little further depth in its ethnography. In other words, a lazy description of an Other made firmly from within the comfort of the white gaze. Furthermore, several sections almost exclusively highlight perceived problems with “muslim clothes” at length, which is tantamount to a description of a mode of dress as a vehicle for prejudice. This article should be at the very least heavily moderated. 95.23.96.15 (talk) 03:23, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

The lack of information about male Islamic clothing

Almost the entire page is about the veil, but the veil isn't the only Islamic dress. If possible, please add information and texts about the male Islamic clothing as well, the only thing in this page about the male Islamic clothing is that they should cover their body from the navel to the knees with clothes. 36.71.142.129 (talk) 08:11, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Potential Edits and Reasons for Them

• Here are some of my detailed reasons why I think the Common Practice section needs to be rewritten. There are unreliable sources used here that shouldn't be used on Wikipedia. There is very interesting information, so I’d like to corroborate these ideas, but other sources will need to be found. I am not yet comfortable deleting these entries, but in the coming weeks I will be drafting some contributions to this page.
