Did you just ask if there is a governing body that grants women the right to wear what they want?

I'm seriously asking this. Confused.

I actually like the fact that the Egyptian ladies are wearing what they deem culturally appropriate. It allows a Western pig like myself an opportunity to give the imagination a much needed workout.

Well it could be looked at this way. The Germans are almost naked and dress as sex symbols for the titillation of male spectators. The Egyptians are covered and well protected from the detrimental elements of the Sun. Plus they aren't being ogled but respected for talent displayed in the game.

The Germans were dressed for a volleyball match.

The Egyptians were dressed for a snow storm.

40% of Egyptians are in arranged marriages with their COUSINS. Even higher in other Muslim countries like Pakistan and Iraq.

I think you're obsessed with Islam, the way you keep ranting and raving over it. It's just sports!

Bingo!
