The following pics are of the largest Mosque in Indonesia
Tim and I had to wear these robes because we had shorts on and short sleeved shirts. To go inside the Mosque you had to have long pants and shirts at least to your elbows
People sleeping inside the Mosque. This is unlawful and when the security guard comes by he will kick them out

According to our tour guide, it is nowhere in the Koran that women should wear the head coverings, this is only cultural. The only time women should be covered is when they are in the mosque praying. This is so they don't distract the men and cause them to loose focus while praying. The men need to have sleeves down to their elbows and have their legs covered.
Here we are with our robes on
