Although the colored head scarfs in this story might seem trivial but they are expressions of human nature which Islam wants to suppress. Perhaps we should surreptiously sneak some Barbara Cartland romances to these young women.

Frustrated desires are more volcanic than ones expressed. I'm waiting for a head scarf that acccurately mimicks the woman's hidden hair photorealistically. By the <em>Rene Magritte </em>Fashion House? ("This is Not a Head of Hair" designs.) Time for Muslim women to implode these imbecilic strictures.

Probably. Sorry for the Off Topic, but the President just awarded a medal to the Tuskegee Airman, a long overdue and well deserved award. But what is Robert Byrd doing there? He was one of those who thought blacks couldn't DRIVE let alone FLY! Perhaps he's had a change of heart. (And I don't mean an artificial heart!) Dubya had to help the old guy to his feet. I remember Dems joking about Reagan's age, but they keep on voting for the old sheeted one. So would they lock ‘em inside a burning building if they were not wearing their colorful abayas? Probably.

("See, apartheid ain't so bad, the black women get to wear these nifty clothes!") Yet when it comes to Saudi Arabia, instead of relentless attacks on the system - which is a thousand times worse for Saudi women than apartheid was for South African blacks - we get nonsense like this. Makes one wonder if the Saudis are buying a lot of advertising in the Post.
