15. It is considered unIslamic to wear a necktie

Muslims are supposed to prey 7(?) or so times a day. You wear what you are wearing (and clean up a bit). When you are wearing a necktie while kneeling and prostrating yourself it hits the ground and you become unclean.

So, Islamic folks don't wear neckties. Same reason why billed caps are avoided.

That said, Islamic folks do wear ties on occasion. But it is a sign of western decadence and very much a no-no for the fundy types.
