Religion has no reason to dictate dress codes for people. It is the fanatic religious people who compel to wear a typical dress. Can any one say the benefit of wearing a religious dress? In fact it invites the wrath of other fundamental groups by the very sight of the dress. I am at a loss to understand how you people favour such an unwanted practice which had caused many a strife. As I have already said the religious people should follow the religious dictats seriously rather than basking on physical appearances for the practice of religion.we can also say that people who cannot practice religious disciplines in reality tend to show their religion by physical appearances. That is the reason why problem arises between different religious denominations.
Let us practice religion in our minds and not in our dresses.

Dear Ezhil,

«I am at a loss to understand how you people favour such an unwanted practice which had caused many a strife.»

But who ever suggested that people should employ unwanted practices and be dictated to or compelled to wear something they do not want?

There is no mention of it in your opening post - we were, so far, discussing people who WANT to wear this or the other religious dress, or have you changed the subject?

«we can also say that people who cannot practice religious disciplines in reality tend to show their religion by physical appearances»

THEIR religion? If they cannot in reality practice some given religious disciplines, then these disciplines are clearly not a part of their religion
- they could of course be a part of other people's religion, but not theirs!
Are we then changing the subject again to talk about pretenders?

The topic is pretty serious. It appears that it is too difficult for you to understand.

Let us practice religion in our minds and not in our dresses.

Dear Ezhil,

«Let us practice religion in our minds and not in our dresses.»

For some people, their dress, along with various other physical routines, support their mental religious practices. Some people need this support.

Perhaps you personally are beyond that stage and no longer need it, perhaps your mind is already so concentrated on God without any need for peripheral support - I don't know you personally.

Overall, people are very selective on this issue and only pick out what they like and leave out the rest.

As a person who went to a conservative, private, religious school we were forced to wear and cover our bodies in a very restrictive school uniform.

Not always pleasant to wear and not overly fashionable or to my liking!

I would see other people around wearing whatever they wanted and I had to wear a school blazer with tie and follow strict guidelines on hairstyles for example. The guidelines were worse for female students. Our parents were sent a whole guidebook on how we were meant to look, present ourselves, how our hair should look, what shoes to wear etc.

I'm sure some here will say "Oh but that's schooling...."

A few times we had a uniform free day, which we had to pay for with funds going to a charity we had no say on. Whilst a uniform can remove competition in terms of who has the best brand name clothes, really our schooling shouldn't be about clothes and what fits in with the dogma of a conservative education system. It should be about the quality of the teachings of which it is not.

I see many people with tattoos. I personally don't like them, but respect free choice, just as I do with clothing, particularly as a person forced through a long time of youth wearing things I did not enjoy or like!

I think we should be very grateful as adults in Australia we have in principle free choice on what we wear and how we look. I do feel for those under 18 denied such freedoms at conservative private schools. I find it to be akin to a violation of the rights of the child in terms of the United Nations.

Talking about dress codes of those who vantalize synangogues?

Vile actions such as these are done by extremists . They
should be arrested and punished.

Luckily they are a minority.

Elon Musk caused a controversy at the US Presidential
inauguration with his Nazi salute. And he was not wearing
a religious garb.
