Inevitably Israeli blogs and their evangelical friends are using this quite heavily. I'm just a bit perturbed that so many christians are using this as an example of a so called "superiority".... This is as far from the virgin Mary's image as possible (I'm assuming she is loved and viewed as a role model..) honestly I cannot understand why christian would be proud of this. (what do they imagine the nice old christian men are going to be doingwhen they get home I wonder???) Btw I am not a fan of woman sized tents in any way but I support the hijab absolutely!.

The picture speaks for its self. I however am a bit saddened at the thought of arabs loosing a sense of thier culture i come from both an american and saudi background raised a southern baptist i might add. but now i am a fully practicing muslim. I found through being bi racial many people misunderstood islam. and christianity i might say. my constant confusion was as to wether jesus was god or the son of god or a messenger or what exactly was it. it was never clear in the bible "to me" and i noticed many of my american uncles were never able to answer by question and giving the fact they were preachers in a church and on the bible belt of america. i needed know further convincing. see muslim women are actually treated much better in islam than u might think. but you have to first understand the difference between islam and arab culture. which is often times confused. muslim women who practice there religion do not have to shroud their bodies in a long black cloat or cover their faces and hide themselves in a dark room of their home. but rather they should simply cover their hair and not show the shape of their body. now as per the comment made by anthem boy should not gave with a lustfull eye. it is a common fact all men i do not care who chooses to argue this fact but all men at some point in time will look to a women with a lustful intention or thought. so as islam does everything it stops it from even starting. if there is nothing to see how could u get aroused. now tell me how the 2 women in the picture differ which caught your eye first ?? my point exactly. and in a world were some men are aroused by a womans feet i think the idea of hijab is quite practical. dont you ? further more in terms of prayer 5 times a day or through out the day. please tell me muslims pray 5 times a day mantatory for god only. but how many chrostians do you know pray at least 5 ? i will say an extremly small few. islam is more a way of life than a religion. i in know way intend to offend anyone with this comment and if i have i appologize this is simply my point of view that i wanted to share among you. and i thank you all for this chance .

Look at the guy across the street, on the right side of the picture (the one whose face is just a bit cropped). He's looking off to the right. Now you tell me, with a girl like that across the street, what are the chances he wasn't looking at her? :) I say it’s fake.
