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 |
