Caption these Islamic women shopping for swimsuits

Two Turkish women look at Islamic bathing suits in a shop in Istanbul, Turkey, in this Aug. 9, 2002 photo. Islamic bathing suits fit loosely so as not to show off the outlines of women's body and are made of a synthetic material that dries quickly. The overwhelming majority of women at beaches in secular Turkey wear western-style bathing suits. (AP Photo/Osman Orsal)

BMO 1: "Look, there's a breathing hole where your nose can stick out!"

BMO 2: "Oh, no, I would never go topless."

"Sure the Americans do this. I saw it in the movie Gone with the Wind. The heroine made a swimsuit out of her drapes."

Maybe a_Turk can find some better pictures of Turkish ladies. These two ladies remind me of my mother-in-law who isn't even Islamic.

So you enjoy ridiculing others, do you? Your grandmother or great-grandmother probably wore something very similar.

Hangover or are you just humor-challenged?

My thought, too. Modesty is a virtue, to be respected. The degree is not important.

I still ridicule my mom for the pointy glasses she wore in the 50's and 60's.

I hope that my sense of humor is a bit too sophisticated to enjoy stupid, insensitive attacks against simple, pious women from a culture vastly different than ours.

I don't know, Ayesha, this tie-dyed look is so passe.

Yes, Leilah, but it's so retro now.
