Abstract

It is hard to deny that there are Muslim families whose women wear the 'hijab' (and even the 'niqab') when they go out, but their adult male family members do not hesitate to appear in shorts in public. Unfortunately, this gendered dress code discrepancy does not give a favourable representation of Muslims as a global community. Practising polygyny and wearing shorts in public by Muslim men also points to their tendency to abide by Islamic teachings selectively and partially, depending on their whims, desires and caprices.
