I am sure they have to cover those sexy legs :)

Qatar & the AUE both try hard, to LOOK modernized... but doesn't Islamic Clerics interpret the Islam as to FORBID men & women who are strangers to be in the SAME SPACE??

How do Islamic girls & women play COMPETITIVE sports (swimming, gymnastics, running, tennis, running, etc.) if they had to be covered so much. And I'm not even referring to primitive Afghan Taliban style --- head to toe black bag, w/ just 2 small holes for the eyes --- I'm talking about "normal" Saudi Arabia dressing code.
