Converts always seem more fanatical/loony in any religion in my very limited experience. One chap I shared a house with seemed to spend most of his time making notes in his bible.bloggoth

I don't really understand why they wear burkhas given the Quran states both men and women should keep their gaze lowered. So if everyone has their gaze lowered who is there to look in anyone's face?Originally posted by Gibbon View PostOk you win I've bit. But that is just outrageous and damned insulting old boy.

I personally have no issue with what anyone wears.
I'm currently visiting a friend's relative in hospital in France (no one from their family can get here) which has a much higher muslim population than indigenous French (the area where I and the hospital are). Now it is summer so I tend to wear dresses which perhaps shows a little of my cleavage and I must admit the looks I got from some people you would think I was standing on a street corner, my legs apart saying 'come on boys'. I refuse to change my attire in a secular country where no one else has any problem with it. If I visit Islamic countries I dress accordingly and most certainly don't judge anyone. Shame I now feel a bit uncomfortable here.Last edited by cnch; 19 July 2010, 14:36.Comment

Next time try something figure hugging that ends just below the curve of your buttock, paired with some above the knee boots with a 3-4" heel.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment
