Dubai model critical of lack of plus size modest clothes – BBC News

Pakistani model Arfa Shahid says it’s almost impossible to buy plus size modest clothes in shops.

The Dubai based blogger says it’s frustrating because as a Muslim she isn’t supposed to show off her body shape.

She told BBC Minute she wants high street shops to do more to cater for women of all sizes.

      As I am not from Britain I don’t understand the difference between publicly funded and tax $ supported. It is theft for sure either way. I live in your former colony of the Sandwich islands (Hawaii) makes me sad to see whats happening there. Socialist /globalists trying to replace your history, race ,religion, and culture with 3rd world scum. Then sticking you with the bill for BBC propaganda. Not that we don’t have our own problems in 70% demorat Hawaii.

      +Adam J. Gurr You do realize that by clicking on the video, the BBC thinks you do care and will be encouraged to cover more stories like this.

      I am certain the BBC cares NOTHING for what British citizens WANT to see. They are paid with $ stolen from the public by force to produce far left propaganda. A privately opened media outlet has to care what people think or viewers won’t watch and the outlet will fail. Another example of why private enterprise is better than government at EVERYTHING

    MODESTY? Why is this woman painting her fingernails and wearing bright red lipstick? She is not fully compliant with the Islamic notion of modesty.

    Also, she should focus her efforts on critical thinking… and then she might realize what a hateful violent ideology Islam is.

    Furthermore, she should restrict her calorific intake and walk more miles per day.

    If she did all this, she would be a much better person.

    When did the BBC start trying to convince people that slowly dying from eating to much is a good thing.

    And people who don’t agree are evil straight white males.

      So looking at obesity as unhealthy and a bad thing is “ignorance”? Well then, If this fat acceptance bullshit is okay, lets have a smoker acceptance march too?
      why does society have to smoker shame by putting “can cause lung cancer” labels on cigarette packs? Might aswell do the same for junk food packs “can cause diabetes and heart cancer”.

    March 25, 2018 at 12:37 pm

    Being over weight is not healthy and should not be catered to . Lose the excess weight you putting too much strain on your joins, heart and organs when you can practise being more physically active eating wholesome fresh meals with small proportions . I understand that there are people who are over weight due to health reasons but they are the minority. Don’t normalise obesity

    • sica h

      March 25, 2018 at 10:47 pm

      Rosè X and that’s not at all bigoted – what little brain you have . Read what she said she cannot get modest clothing , I am not Muslim and I know a number of people who cannot get decent clothing because it’s not being designed for them. Women are different shapes we were not all meant to conform to some idealised body shape

    • Dylan Walsh

      March 26, 2018 at 12:34 am

      sica h if you want “ free healthcare”. Get use this idealized body size Bc my tax dollars shouldn’t cover some whales medical problems due to lack of self control over hunger

    • Rosè X

      March 26, 2018 at 1:41 am

      sica h. Yes women do come in many sizes and shapes there is no one size fits all but this lady here demanding plus size modest clothing is utterly in denial. Once you become so over weight like this lady it’s an alarming sign you need to take your health seriously and not be demanding body acceptness. Stop this nonsense and let’s call a spade a spade enough of sugar coding the honest truth.
