Samina's Secret?

I found this picture, along with commentary, posted today on Debbie Schlussel's blog. Scroll down until you get to this eye-catching photo with the title "Islamic Modesty."

Back in 2000 I was deployed to Sarajevo, Bosnia for nearly 4 months. Everyone's favorite section was the Turkish Quarter which had all the cool shops. More importantly, for us guys anyway, you'd see women decked-out in stylish, Euro-Muslim fashions--much like the young lady pictured here, although sadly, without the exposed thong.

I certainly don't have a problem with muslim women dressing in some semblance of islamic attire. I find it looks rather elegant--on Muslim women. Like Ms. Schlussel, what I do have a problem with is Muslims demanding we infidels accomodate their dress-code. It's a case of the tail wagging the fashion dog.

If it wasn't for the hysteria generated from the "Religion of Perpetual Outrage," as Michelle Malkin refers to Islam, then this picture would merely be an amusing case of "Things Make You Go Hmmm."
