Dress code and its effect in Qatar

It is true that Muslims are strict as far as their dresses are concerned; they prescribe and prefer full and non revealing dresses for the members for their religion.  Dress code which itself an arguable topic, has hold a lot of space and time in Gulf States in general. Qatar with its booming economy and large number of expatriates dare not and should not impose unnecessary restriction on dressing; the human right index of this country is already very low and has been the cause for the loss of candidature for the upcoming Olympic Games. Qatar should not take one more scar of dressing code unnecessarily.
Currently the most arguable topic is in highlight. Now people want free, happy life but due to dress code their happiness and freedom is falling on shadow.  Because they can’t wear what they like this is totally mismatch with the freedom of life. So it’s very bad if we stay under the dress code. Nobody should be bound in this dress code they should be free. 
Dress is not matter for effecting Muslim culture of Qatar. As we know Qatari culture is strong they have different history and society in Muslim culture. In my opinion from dress the culture will not change or effect. It’s a worthless debate. According to Mr. Ibrahim al –Ibrahim “if such revealing cloths are normal in their country, this not the situation in our country and they should be aware of that “he want to show how is the situation of Qatar and it’s culture. According to Holy Koran it’s true they should cover their whole body because they are precious gift of Grate Allah but for whom they accept the Allah either they are Muslim or non Muslim. If Qatar will start ruling on dress code, this will be totally mistake. They will snatch the freedom from their well-wishers.
It is easy to ruling over unconscious people such worthless topic but currently people will not agree if anybody will try to ruling over their freedom. So nobody should be tight in such rule which will directly effect to their personnel life.

Qatar is a modern society and people tend to forget that it's not a factor of just looking at religion, it's the nation itself.

You'll find expats wearing almost whatever they want, MANY Qatari's wearing Jeans and T-Shirts.

The only rule is don't flash your boobs and no pink thongs.

Anybody who says otherwise is just making up fluff.

So my dear Bakish, saying that Qatar has a dresscode is utter rubbish. Have you ever been to Qatar?

I myself wear a thobe, jeans, suit, shorts, whatever.

My female friends where summer dresses, short skirts, bikinis, as they like.
