Islam and clothing

A Saudi woman has been arrested for defying the kingdom's strict dress code by walking around in a miniskirt and crop top in a video that sparked public outrage.

Women serving in the Turkish army will now have the right to wear Muslim headdress when they are on duty, announced the Defence Ministry.

The model adjusts her clothing, stares at the camera with a hint of a smile, holds her head high and the photographer starts snapping.

France's minister for women's rights on March 30 compared women who choose to wear conservative Islamic dress to the "American negroes" who once supported slavery, sparking anger and accusations of racism.
