text: for overseas muslims, if i were to visit your country as an american citizen and a woman...? would i be required to wear muslim dress and to cover my hair? (no offense, i'm just learning about islam, not judging). in the movie "not without my daughter", sally field was married to an iranian man and was still an american citizen, yet she was nearly arrested by some very angry people because her bangs were showing. what would they do if i did not wear muslim dress, even though i would be a foreigner. (of course i would wear the customary dress out of respect for the muslim people, their religion and their country, but i'm curious.) also, how are american women who are married to a muslim citizen of whichever arab country treated? obviously, we're not too popular overseas these days. are they ever accepted into society? hi tina ok tina again it depend on what muslim country you are going to visit? muslem  come from diffirent contries,culture,educatons, for example if you will visite turkey or tunisia...you can wear any thing you want....but it will be saudi arabia or iran you have to cover your hair... for example i life in egypt...and about 9% of the egyption people are christian and they do not cover their hair and wear what they want and not all the muslem women in egypt cover their hair...and egypt love the tourists coz they increase our national income so in the egyption beatchs and the historical places the touriste can wear any thing they want as they wear in theia contries...i will give you a sit for the egyption movies you can see how the egyption people wear in usual http://www.copticweb.com/aflam/egyptian%20arabic%20movies.html
