Well it’s not my battle so good luck with this oneEverything is a fight. Now we have to say we are wearing Khaleeji clothes instead of just saying Islamic?

They just mad cause arabs not having as much kids as somali and the indo pact community does. Im seinf arab couples with 1-2 kid house hold and they dont even wear abaya or any other islamic clothing. They just mad were in the majority now.
The only way it would concern you is if you were a hooyo mataalo. This convo is getting boring now
I see where they are coming from in a sense that the Abaya is indeed from the Khaleejis, and the Elegance company needs to stop lying. Saying it’s been worn by Muslim women for centuries isn’t exactly factual considering it’s recent origins, but Somalis have been wearing it for decades now for modesty reasons, the same reasons why Khaleejis wear it. Before the 70s, Gulf women too didn’t wear it but wore their traditional Kandoras with a long black chador like cloth starting from the head that drapes on top with an opening at the front. The so called abaya is only 50 years old and Somalis have been wearing it for at least 40 years now. I think both sides are wrong,( By both sides I’m talking about that timo jelec Abaya company, NOT Somalis) but what do those Arab girls want? Recognition? To stop others from selling the Abaya which has now become the symbol of modesty for Muslim women around the globe? This is why I don’t understand these conversations and why I don’t understand this discourse. Also, that Abaya company needs to just admit that it is indeed Khaleeji culture but also carry on selling their abayas as they have a right to do, because at the end of the day all groups NOW wear the abaya, so like I said earlier, what do those ‘iTs CulTurAL aPproPriaTiOn’ girlies want?!
Honestly, I’ve had enough of these ‘cultural appropriation’ girls. Some Somali girls are also like that as well and will argue with people like the Oromos and their other neighbors crying about appropriation. Gen Z kids need to get a life including those Arab girls. Oh and people need to also be respectful enough to admit the origins of things.

It's not cultural appropriation but it's not somali culture
Kinda agree with beesha dhegecas good for them
If it is a khaleeji culture, then it is a Muslim culture as well.
That’s the thing though. Why are they bringing Somalis up? We were never apart of the conversation. We literally refer to all their clothes as dhaqan carabeed. Don’t know why they are crying about us in the comments.

It's the equivalent of Western culture no one cries about that being adopted and appropriated and since its modest its been adopted by Muslims in general.
Anything that fits the muslim dress code is technically Islamic culture.
Plus who doesn't call it arab culture I have never seen a somali claim it in the first place and say its somali culturally.
