[quote][quote]Comment: Discrimination in any form is vile.   If I do not like moral busy bodies telling me to wear a prayer cap in mosques, then the following is equally despicable.

However, one may state that if certain places have a decorum requirement like wearing a suit while going to a ball and you end up in jeans, how can you expect entry?

Nonetheless, any comments on the following?

I had to go to Karachi's Malir Cantonment recently to meet a friend. I was wearing my usual dress - shalwar-kameez and an amama (turban). I was stopped at the entrance to the cantonment area.

One of the soldiers at duty informed me that I could not enter with my head covered in an amama. I refused to follow the instructions and entered into a debate with the duty staff. However, the guards refused to allow me entry, saying they had to follow orders.[/quote]

Do you think it's better to draw a line between what people regard as "fashinable" like jeans and what people regards as "religious obligation" like Hijab or ammama for some?[/quote]
