That's appalling - i am not by any stretch of the imagination a religous person but i detest that kind of behaviour and i have gone to the mosque here more than once with my muslim cousins as i find it an interesting way to get insight into a bit of he culture of the religion and perhaps by extension a slightly better understanding of why certain attitudes exist in general and to the dance in specific. Never once did it occur to me to go in low rise jeans and a crop top and walk in with my stilettos on - it really upsets me when people dont' respect other people's beliefs just because they're different to their own.
