CAIRO (AFP) - Move over Barbie, veiled is beautiful. The physical ideal of Muslim girls increasingly includes the hijab, as evidenced by toy shops' best-selling doll "Fulla" and the string of showbiz stars opting to cover up.

The dark-eyed and olive-skinned Fulla has replaced her American rival's skimpy skirts with more modest "outdoor fashion" and Barbie's luxuriant blonde mane with an Islamic veil.

Hey, in Afghanistan after the Taliban was ousted, a lot of women continued to wear the burqua or a heavy veil by choice. They don't feel modest without them. Same reason my lady wife won't wear miniskirts, tube tops or two-piece bathing suits. Not out of religious or social obligation, but just because she feels underdressed and uncomfortable.

BTW to others on the thread-

To stereotype all Muslim women as slaves and all Muslim men as murderous abusers is no more accurate than stereotyping all Christians as witch-burning, gay bashing abortion clinic bombers. And it does not reflect well on the person making those statements.

Ladies, which would rather be: the wife of a secular Muslim who came to America to get away from all that Jihad nonsense, or the wife of a bible-thumping, hellfire-and-brimstone fundamentalist Christian preacher?

Is this doll Fulla Shiite, or does she have a Sunni disposition?

The suicide belt is of course, and 'extra' accessory.

The HOT Barbie this year in the Death Cult is the pregnant one with bruises and welts all about her.
