That’s assuming a lot just on appearances. The women on the right may value their culture but support policies that strengthen the community or help lifting families from poverty. While the women on the left could be rich tourists that support lack of government oversight in industry and providing tax havens for the rich.
forget cultural differences, and imagine yourself out there on a 35c day, and tell me which one is better.
Flowing robes 100%, literally designed for being in the heat and sun. 35C isn’t even that bad, it’s hotter in Texas.
My understanding is that the fabric on burqas (or whatever those clothes are actually called) are extremely lightweight and provide shade, so they actually aren’t any warmer than t-shirts and shorts. Possibly because they block the sun, they might even be cooler.
But that’s simply what I have heard and I personally don’t care to find out either way.
I never tested it, but still wonder why nobody who wasn’t indoctrinated into it since birth doesn’t just decide to wear a burka in summer heat.
Not only did you not test it, you didn’t even bother looking it up, because you don’t actually care, you’re just here to express islamophobia.

Wild guesses…
Easier to clean.
Or maybe the material it’s made of, isnt white.
Or maybe because it has such little thermal mass, that it doesn’t matter.
Whoops, though North African clothing is very similar and those are definitely designed for the Sahara.

If you think these people are stupid remember that there’s people wearing suits and ties in summer
If you think these people are stupid, wait 20 years and see who has more skin cancer.
Covid seemed to change workplace attire in my company forever. I used to wear a coat and tie to meetings and events… I’m now wearing a polo shirt and stretchy chinos with “dress shoes” that are basically sneakers.
I’ve often thought that we can squarely blame Western Europe for the proliferation of suits being the normal business wear. It makes sense for them because have you visited the UK in summer? Or northern the northern half of the continent? It’s downright cold sometimes. In the middle of summer. It makes sense for them to wear all that crap all the time. I do wish we weren’t influenced so heavily by that to the point that we don’t have any real alternatives when it comes to formal and business attire.
