Pakistan Islamists ban men's tight clothes; PA arrests someone for eating on Ramadan

From Al Arabiya:
The Pakistani Taliban has banned men from wearing tight or see-through clothes during the holy month of Ramadan, the Saudi-based al-Riyadh newspaper reported on Thursday, quoting reports from South Waziristan.

The Taliban group also gave local shops written warnings of $500 fine if they are found selling thin clothes that do not “properly” cover the human body.

Tailors were also threatened with kidnapping and beating should they be caught making such “un-Islamic” clothing for men.

No warnings or threats were reportedly issued for women, because most of them wear the traditional full body cover known as the burqa.
But over at the "moderate" Palestinian Authority, Khaled Abu Toameh tweeted:
Tulkarem, West Bank: Palestinian police arrest man for eating in public on 3rd day of #Ramadan.
Not Gaza. Not Hamas. This is the darling of the international community, the PA.

Just so you know what kind of a modern, secular state "Palestine" would be even without Hamas.
