Muslim Women Dressed

Datuk Azalina Othman, Malaysia’s Youth and Sports Minister, describes Malaysia as a moderate Muslim country where Muslim sportswomen should feel free to wear shorts and jump around. Women who find this inappropriate are classified as extremist compared to the modern dress-code she has prescribed for the modern-Malaysian-Muslim-woman-athlete.

Despite direct instructions from God for Muslim women to observe the Hijab (the Muslim dress-code where a woman covers her whole body, save her hands and face), Datuk Azalina decides that women who comply with the dress requirement during sporting events are not being open-minded enough.

The Hijab has become a popular choice for Muslim women in Malaysia as an integral part of their daily dress - as compared to twenty years ago - with the coming of Islam to the country. However, many “moderate Muslims,” as they call themselves, label women with a headscarf as being traditional, conservative and sometimes backward.
