I lived in Saudi Arabia five years. Muslims didn't really think that. In fact we had a little pork store on camp. We DID have to show our I.D. and sign for the pork we bought.
MOST Saudis REALLY don't care much about life outside of their country. They have enough to focus on in their daily lives. So many Americans think the Saudis are obsessed or something. They are just folks. The men only wear their THOBE and GUTRA for special occasions. Their daily dress is just the normal JoeSchmoe pants and shirts.
The OLD men wear baggy pants, of course, as all old men do and the young men wear normal ordinary clothes. Nothing weird or abnormal at all.
The Saudi women wear regular clothes too, and wear that big bag over their hair, head and clothes. The younger women wear the bag and underneath they wear regular clothes, high heels, make-up, the whole nine yards.
The old women dress like old women everywhere, saggy, baggy and frumpy.
Sorry, way to much information.
Thanks! I didn’t know that. You have educated me!
Don’t be sorry —that was really interesting.
Thank you! ^_^
