And I'm comparing various Muslims and their garbs, not Indonesians in general to Arabs.

So what would you consider in your own words using non-specific language the average American would use to describe Muslim clothing. Maybe that can put into perspective what an American would consider a Muslim.

Someone who follows the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed(Peace be on Him), I'd imagine.

And a person who dresses in Muslim clothing is...?

Fashionable?

EDIT: I think that we are thinking too hard on trying to define Muslim clothing. We know what he meant (or do we?) and we know what his context is (or do we?) about his remarks about Muslim clothing (or do we?).

OK lets try to "help" dogma here since he insists on being hardheaded....

Muslim garb


Hindu garb


Hassidic Jewish garb


Amish garb


Roman Catholic garb


So we can see that if someone wants to express their faith they can do so by wearing certain "garb".

Therefore using the term "muslim garb" isn't ignorant or even inappropriate.

You're making a point, but not making a distinction between clergymen wearing ceremonial dress and general followers of their respective religions...

Perception is one of those damned traits of humans where we see and we interpret.

I think the point is is that dogma wanted a more contextual statement rather than a generic assumption, as he is prone to pointing out a flaw or misinterpretation of a word or idea to show that using that word or idea in the context of a discussion could change that debate or mislead others who are technical into believing they are speaking about something else. At worst, it destroys the argument and breaks it down as the confusion reigns supreme and runs rampant over the following conversations that could of been had.

Gamer garb

Note to the bigot Juan Williams: the 9/11 attackers wore blue jeans.

My favorite one is this:

Though dressed in an abaya and niqab, Wedad Lootah breaks stereotypes as a marital and sex counselor in Dubai, and gives advice on topics such as oral sex, the female orgasm, and the importance of sex education.

Best clothing ever. Seriously, I'm not even sure other kinds of clothing should be allowed to exist.

Yeah he got fired for being a dumb ass. Replace some words Muslim with black, garb with baggy pants, and plane with gas station. And people would be up his ass for sure. As a Black person you'd think he'd know better.
