I think that many Western women feel insulted by this. Simply because most of those women do dress modestly, not because they are in Qatar, but they generally do .
thank you for your post. That is excatly my point.
I am one of those Western Women who dress appropriately. I lived in Egypt, and Lebanon besides here, so I see many, many women of Arab decent wearing the controversal clothing Western's are being accused of wearing in Muslim countries. I always wonder, why these women that are wearing the Abaya bother.... they wear it very tight fitting, or un-buttoned from waist down, so we see the skinny tight jeans, and very high heels.
It should be up to the individual if there is not going to be a law like in Iran or KSA. Until then here it is freedom of choice. But if you do, then be aware you will be stared at. I just chose when I am out, to respect the culture.
