The hijab and abaya have taken centre stage on the New York runway as up-and-coming Indonesian designers kicked off an increasingly diverse fashion week, hoping to change prejudices in the west.
Were not oppressed and we just want to show the world that we still can be beautiful and stylish with our hijab on, said designer Dian Pelangi, 26, who has 4.8 million followers on Instagram.
She was one of five Indonesian designers who presented collections at the show in Chelsea on the first day of fashion week.
Two of the five fell into the category modest fashion in this instance designed specifically for the affluent, modern, religiously observant Muslim woman and featured models who covered their hair in Islamic style....

Yeah, beautiful like pics of Helen Thomas.
A Muslim headbag is a headbag regardless of how you try to fancy it up .... like putting lipstick on a pig!
The lefts and Islam’s WAR ON WOMEN!
Well, if the ones in the pictures are representative, at least the wearers’ faces can be seen. The ones that really pi$$ me off are the niqabs where nothing can be seen at... sometimes not even the eyes if there is mesh over the slits.
This basically is the extreme on the other side of public nakedness that isnt permitted because people arent animals. By the same token, people shouldnt have full face cover when in public because they arent things.
Lol
What does this have to do with Trump? These people are nuts.

And its not a healthy culture when communities that depend on a historical social norm of being able to identify and see each other to relate to relate to each other now have entities existing within them with whom no social connection is possible ..and they can see you at the same time as they have taken an aggressive step to ensure that you cant see them or any human characteristics of them.
Want a side of kitman fries to go with that taquiyya burger she’s serving?
Not to pick nits but I think that was a Wendy’s commercial...back when humor was fun!
The libernoids go out of their way to ream us for our wanting to roll things back to the 1950s, but they don’t mind supporting people who want the whole world to go back to the enslaved caliphate of Mecca in 570.
Oh dear, whatever happened to beauty?
Ugly is the new beautiful.
I don’t think it was SNL, but rather a Wendy’s commercial. Evening wear involved a flashlight.
In all fairness some feminazis are so ugly they need a burqua.
Of course the hijab is beautiful especially if you are an ugly woman. If Hillary had wore one Bill might bedded her instead his other women
Decades ago before I even knew of niqabs, I turned the corner of an aisle in a supermarket and walked into someone in one of those —complete with steel mesh. My jaw dropped, and I just froze. I didn’t mean to be rude, but it was monstrous looking and scared me for a moment. It looked like the boogeyman. And this was in L.A.County, not the Middle East!
All this does raise the question of rights..... Specifically, the rights of the person wearing the niqab versus the rights of those occupying the space in the vicinity of the wearer. Essentially here is the question.....Do I have a right to see your face if you are conducting yourself in my general space in a public arena setting? Barbara Kay is a columnist with the National Post who wrote what I thought was a thought provoking piece about this a few years ago when the issue was being debated in Canada. For the record, the European Court of Human Rights has established that the answer to that question is yes. As Barbara Kay says in the closing of her article, “Enshrining in law the social right to see each other as a norm is not intolerance. It is protection of the principle of social reciprocity on which a healthy culture depends.” http://www.barbarakay.ca/articles/view/1054
Thanks for the article. Being able to see each other’s face makes good social sense. A lot of nonverbal communication takes place via facial expression. That’s why emails can cause problems because you can’t see if the person is smiling or serious. Hence, the use of emojis.
Although a separate issue, I would also like to see protestors like Antifa members be prohibited from masking their faces. I think one should be able to see who is screaming at you or breaking a store window.
