By the way, burka is never being worn by women-it's a a kind of cloack made of sheep fur, and is worn only by men-not only muslims, but Orthodox Cassacs as well. The piece of cloth muslim women wear is called paranjah or chadra (the letter is a light form of the former).

it's called BURKHA, or, to be more correct -- a sack
