Shocking Ignorance and Utter Stupidity
about the Concept of Hijab in Islamic Shari'ah
It has to be a joke or a potentially lucrative commercial venture. How else can you explain a catwalk by "hijabi" women at the New York Fashion Week:

A catwalk is a complete antithesis and contradiction of the notion of hijab. To combine the two is just ludicrous. Vigorous insistence on covering the hair is a cultural and regional phenomenon. But making this the one and only requirement of hijab is a total fabrication. Headscarf is supposed to give a "nun" like appearance to avoid male roving eyes. The basic idea of a dress code of hijab (if you believe in one) is to remain in the back ground and avoid publicity. The ladies here have jumped on the stage with designer colorful outfits and parade in attractive steps and rhythm to invite the attention of the audience to sell the products of the corporation. All this in an effort to sell hijab!! What should I call it: confused thinking and utter lack of knowledge or dumb, daft, crazy and idiotic. I don't know. I do know, though that I am getting emotional about it.
