They are probably wearing the Hajab...not the Burka.
Big difference.


Explain the difference.


One covers the hair and the other covers the entire person from head to toe

That's kind of what I figured, but the original poster referred to burkas. I lived in the mideast for awhile so my question was kind of an informed question.

One of them actually converted to Islam for her boyfriend, and when we graduated he came up to the stage and gave her a dozen red roses when she got her parchment. How sweet!

It is best to term them modesty garments because they are called different things in different places

Even in my relatively small, conservative city, women wearing Arab trappings of whatever kind would be treated with the utmost respect. I see them all over town now. These women are usually Saudis, Jordanians, Egyptians or local black Muslims and we think of them as allies instead of enemies.

In that vein, it's the possible mocking of a religion that I would question with regard to wearing 'modesty garments' as fetishwear. Just like with Nun/Priest attire, I think it's your kink, and you're welcome to it, but enough people think kinky people are freaks, we don't have to blatantly offend.

Just my two cents.

Status: offline 		The hajab can be a beautiful thing in my opinion, as much to adorn as to conceal, as much to highlight the shape of the face as it disguise it. I went to college with some really beautiful Muslim women, and their Hajab did not detract one iota. In fact I thought it highlighted it.

But that is just my opinion

Status: offline 		Draw your own conclusions from what the OP said. I think most of us are on the same track here if somewhat different than what  the OP was asking.

"i had an interesting discussion with a dom friend who is entertaining the idea of having his sub wear a burka once in a while with nothing on underneath in public.  Some of the thoughts that went though my mind ranged from her being racially targeted, to being extremely hot in the summer with nappy sweaty hair stuck to my forehead, to extreme erotic imaginings.  
Is this something any of you have ever considered trying?"

Consentual inequality during a session is fun, but a religion based on inequality? Many like to say that not all Islams are terrorists because they don't all blow up things. But isn't Islam terrorist toward women?

Funny you do not point out how many sects of Christians view women the same way... and not funny in a Ha Ha sort of way.

It is also sad how little you know of the vast numbers of Muslims do not wear modesty attire at all, and live in Indonesia. People should really inform themselves before posting about things they are really uninformed about

I know they must get hot in the summer down here in the deep south having to cover their arms and legs all the time. I'm not really a fan of Islam either, but I still deal with people on an individual basis rather than assume they are bad by what religion they practice.

I hate Islam.



I told my kids when I was raising them that hatred is a spiritual cancer that will consume you from the inside out and destroy your humanity.

If you really feel this way, defiantbadgirl, than you are emotionally not that far removed from those who engage in terrorism. 

There is a line from the movie American History X which states something like "When I was younger I hated the white race, I often questioned what I could do to overthrow them and I wallowed in that hatred.  It turns out I was asking the wrong question.  The real question I should have asked myself was "Has my hatred and anything I have done because of it made my or anybody else's life any better?"

Just me, could be wrong, but there you go.
