If you want to ignore the thousands of muslim women everywhere who dress traditionally for their own sake, and find it extremely degrading that some people refuse to acknowledge that (now who’s oppressing muslim women?), that’s your business I guess. But the fact is still that MOST WOMEN WHO DO ARE JUST MUSLIMS, NOT MUSLIM EXTREMISTS. There’s quite a difference! Also, I find it quite telling that you apparently can’t cope with current Egyptian culture and would hate to see that in your game, but think the ancient Egyptian stuff is awesome. Picking and choosing much?

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com:
racism – “prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior”
race – “each of the major divisions of humankind, having distinct physical characteristics”
Dictionary disagrees with you. I wasn’t racist beacuse I didn’t mention anything about country of origin/race. I commented on clothing style which is my right to free speech.

*Edit* I DO think it’s an inappriopraite place for this discussion.

BTW, that’s the result of concept art image what would it be if it was in game 😉

Excuse me? When exactly did I say that running “around in mini-skirts and showing breasts is freedom”? You don’t have to wear full body tent to look decent. It’s also quite an irony to be called uneducated. I research a looot about this topic from different kinds of sources, rarely from tv. It’s a FACT that an awful number of women “choose” to wear hijab because if they don’t, they will be frowned upon by society, in extreme cases even murdered…(yes, in Egypt too) I don’t think it’s an appriopriate place to discuss this type of things. If anyone wants to contact me (in a civilised manner): [email protected]
One slur directed towards me and I won’t even bother to read through it.
Also, you can start educating yourself 😉

agree 10000% to you @Zazzy. @Drosera really needs to be re-reeducated and start caring others too even with different culture, religions, language, race, and even every people!

Hey! did you just trying to be a racist or you just stupidly trolling?

and here the lack of education shows off again… you’re saying to choose to run around in mini-skirts and showing their breasts is freedom while choosing to cover yourself is opression? You’re feeling insulted when a woman CHOOSES to cover herself? How can one be so ignorant? This world really would be a much better place if “people like you” ( i dont wanna label anyone but I don’t know how to say it differently ) would educate themselves before opening their mouths. For me it’s foreign as well to cover your hair and everything but I actually respect the women who do so, it shows great self-respect, not supression. It’s really sad to read things like you say here…

Seriously? Wow. You sure need some education (and less TV)!

I would have loved the clothing, would be far more realistic and would bring alot more culture in it. I like World Adventures but they really missed a lot of cultural features in all the worlds which would have made the game far more enjoyable. And real camels would have been awesome! Imagine having your Sim riding on a camel through the desert 😀 would have been awesome!

Just beacuse they (have to) wear it, doesn’t change the fact that it’s opressive towards women. If EA included clothes like that it would mean they aprove of it and would in turn lose a lot of followers, including me. I’m not trying to insult others, it’s just that this kind of clothing insults me 🙂
