Yes typical middle east, but Morsi wanted to drive Egypt backwards and install Sharia law. The Egyptian people didn't want that.

Everyone in Egypt loves Sisi and they don't see him as a dictator. They hated Morsi because he was a lying scumbag.

I work with a woman who wears a hijab because she wants to, not because she is made to. She likes the fashion of it.

I love hijabs and am not religious in any way lol I try to be less "appropriating" by just wearing a head scarf instead of a full hijab.

How many years have you spent regressing? Quite a few it seems, to think that's all there is to the story.

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 4

It's only regressing because it differs from your standard. Do you really think you're all that better? Look around you.

10 years ago | Likes 23 Dislikes 16

objectively, yes.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

The headdress isnt the block standard. Egypt got Cairo centric after the war then had conservative resurgence with decentralization.

The rise of fundamentalist Muslim extremists is what resulted in fashion reversion. We caused the rise of the fundamentalist extremists.

10 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

The fashion changes reflect both the absence or abundance of fundamentalism in a country so yes it absolutely has a relationship
