Women!

What's under that niqab?

When I was in Cairo, I broke out laughing at the irony, when I saw fully covered women in niquabs buying thongs and frillies at outdoor markets.
Women are women everywhere….

On a Sharm El Sheik beach I saw women in niqabs sitting beside stark naked, not just topless, naked, women tourists…. no problem but what a contrast.


In Toronto, I was taught by women in burkas and no one thought anything about it. Only we called them nuns' habits.

I do not like niqabs simply because I resent, as most people do, people who hide behind any kind of mask.

I think the debate is as silly as the costumes.
