Ok, that is dress, but what about the jewellery that people wear, what is not acceptable in Islamic countries. I refer to religious symbolism as symbols of one's faith.
I heard once of a guy who worked in Dubai,had been doing so for a couple of years, he was ejected from the country apparently because he removed his shirt on the beach to reveal the pagan star/pentagram tattooed on his shoulder. Apparently the wrong person saw it and he was told to leave.
Personal jewellery can be removed, tattoos can be covered, but what is likely to cause offence, it is helpful to know as what is not seen in the west can make a big statement elsewhere.

Khanjar...sorry i still dont do this copy and pasting correct suposse to be pink like others are having it LOL
Anyway....Davidstar is still a forbidden and sensetive symbol in the middle east...perhaps the pentagram was mistaken or misunderstood for it...Believe it or not untill today when poeple come to work or live here his or her papers has to pass the israelboycott office to make sure she ,he has no links there or did never visit Israel and even for me every year when i sign new contracts for my workplaces my papers are still goiing treu that office...its a very sensetive issue it has nothing to do with the tatoo but the meaning itself...i remember when i went to iraq for the first time,the consul that issued my visa in italy ask me to remove my pentagram from my necless for my own safety.....
