Why do all Somali girls wear that hideous long black robe?

Makes no sense at all, most if not all animals either have fur or feathers, how can they be naked?

Comparing animals` fur to clothes?

The animals' fur is equivalent to the hair on our skin.

Now try again

True, but if the hair on your head covered all your body you can't be regarded as naked.

A person is said to be covered when he/she has clothes on, not because they have hair on their skin/head. And same as people, animals could only be covered if they had any clothes on. Their fur might shield them from the cold of the Tundra (Which was the intent) but doesn't make them covered if they were expected to cover their genitals.

the thing you call hideous, is liberating for some. jeans and T-shirt is liberating to same too.

people do things that want to be liberated from societies judgement what ever being doing what society wants or expected from them or rebeling again.

it's wrong to call what some one choice to wear hideous. even with your secular standard.

[InaSamaale]

what kinda regular clothes?

B-ball jerseys, baggy jeans, snapbacks, and black and white striped boxers, air jordans and sometimes yeezys

Hassan, you should really focus on freeing your sisters from the late 90's, what you just described is hideous.

I just noticed that the vast majority of Somali girls wear that long black robe, and its so hideous. Most Arab girl and Asian girls don't even wear that...so why do only Somali girls wear it?? Before they used to just wear the hijab and normal clothes... but the past 7-8 years, they started wearing the long black robes too. It makes them look so unattractive and huge. My future wife sure as hell ain't gonna wear any black robes with me, hijab is fine...but she ain't gonna dress like we live in Saudi Arabia.

It only looks hideous to perverts who see woman as sexual objects.
I lost count how many times my friends and sisters who were the hijab were asked why they were hiding their beautiful bodies by random men.

Blame Salafism.

It comes easy to you to defend anything Arab, you are wearing the white version of that ugly drap. The irony is your male version Arab pyjamas is sheer and revealing! One can see the undergarments through , it sticks to the body in windy weather and exposes the contour of the male body. In Arab culture a woman must be reigned in bridled physically and mentally thus the reason for these cloths, after all what's Arab is what Islamic.

That is a very good question. To me it looks very ugly and boring. It also looks very scary. Balaayo idinku dhacdee dharkaas fooshaxun ee aad carabaha ka keensateen naga dhaafa sshittt.
