I Love Disney - Aladdin

Question: In disney's aladdin, why do all the women dress like belly dancers?

This movie takes place in the ancient Middle East, and judging by the many references to "Allah ", the characters are Muslim. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I thought Muslim women in that area were expected to wear very modest non- revealing clothing, and certainly not be exposing their midriffs. Was it different in the past? Princess Jasmine should have looked less like this: http:/ / disney- clipart.com/ Aladdin/ jasmine/ Disney- Princess- Jasmine3.jpg and more like this: http:/ / www.themuslimwoman.org/ images/ burqa_style_gowns_muslim_womens_apparel.jpg

The Middle East is not all muslim...Belly dancers can be found all over the place in Turkey. They are Hot Hot Hot.

Its a disney movie. they tend not to be so precise with things like that when they're making movies. for example in Pocahontas when john smith falls in love with Pocahontas and befriends the native americans. my details are bit off but i know for a fact that that is a bunch of bull. disney movies are aimed at children so they tend not to be correct with things like that because 1) they think we won't notice and 2) it will make the story better if they stretch the truth

If you know anything about the Middle East, specifically India, that's just how it is.
