At the time I did not understand why, later I found out that the ones who have money wear amazing and very expensive things when the women get together, when no man is around. They dress up of each other.

(I'm reading backwards). I find the top picture very beautiful, the eye is mysterious and dark. My Western upbringing would rebel too but hey, after all, our civilization has been wrong before... and our way of living doesn't have to be the only way for the rest of the world.

I understand their wanting to keep their culture and religion the same as its been for hundreds of years but really its not practical. Nothing lasts forever. The Christian religion knew this early on and the religion has changed drastically over the centuries. If you try to hang onto a culture for too long it becomes stagnant and only makes the inevitable fall more painful. It's too bad they don't understand this. Another great post Sera.

In Bangladesh, Pakistan and India vivid bright oranges and reds are popular (similar to the sari) with a lot of Muslim women observing hijab. But interestingly enough in some secular nations where there is an absence of religious police such as Turkey, Iraq and Egypt many women are embracing hijab. So they wear a Burga, Niqab etc as an expression or icon of defiance against this secularization of their religion in their country as part of the revivalist movement indicative of the growth of the Islamic religion.
