Lately, I've been realizing how Emirati ladies have been perfectly adapting to the western life.
Whether it was by the way they dressed, talked, ate, or act.
Every time I talk about this issue, the first thing that comes to mind is "brainwash". They have been brainwashed without a doubt, that they have sadly reached a point where they would taint their traditions, culture, and what's worse their religion; for the sake of fitting in with the westerns.
There are a lot of ladies out there who are well-known in our community, have reached a place with their hard work and concern to tell the world who we really are and to show them what reflects us. Except that they're making up new traditions, culture, and trashing (very sorry to use this phrase) religion. Abayas (a full-length, sleeve outer garment worn by Muslims) for instant, were once upon a time known as a coverup for Arab woman. Nowadays, Abayas have a different meaning. It's a show off tool, the way Arab woman are treating Abayas nowadays is a shame. Its either too tight that shows every single detail of a woman's body, or a see through. Technically, it should be worn as a dress since nowadays they're also adapting to the colorful Abayas.
The reason why I'm discussing this topic, is because of the way some Arab women are presenting or unleashing our culture and traditions to the world is making them believe that this is what our culture and religion is all about. They're painting the wrong picture, and framing it just by telling assuring the world that "yes, this is who we are.. and this is who we've always been".
News flash to those women out there who are trying to "color" their traditions with bleach: By doing such things, and taking such actions. You're doing nothing except proving to the world how Arabs could get dragged into anything. How Arabs have no respect to their religion, and to cut a long story short you're giving them a reason to stick the stereotypes they have of us in their heads.
