You've Come A Long Way, Baby

Yeah, women used to have to wear black burqas in Afghanistan. Now that we've freed them, they wear white burqas.



Afghan women in white burqas visit the Hazrat-i Ali shrine in Mazar-i-Sharif, the centre of Afghan New Year’s or Nauruz celebrations, on March 20, 2010. The pre-Islamic festival is celebrated annually as people from across the war-torn country gather in ancient Balkh province’s capital in northern Afghanistan which holds a shrine attributed to the religion’s fourth Calif, Hazrat-i Ali.

Pasto,

I would like to attract you attention to the geometric & symetrical elements used in the arabesque wall on which the sitting woman is leaning ! They are stars of David ! And a lot of them !
The Hazrat-i Ali shrine isn't a Synagogue... It is a Mosque!

Alex.

Gotcha. Point taken.

So, do you agree with the rest of my analysis?

A couple of weeks ago, right after I moved into my new apartment, I looked outside in time to see a woman walking by in a white burqa.

No!!!

Pasto asked me a question on which I shall answer later !
First of all you - Cristine !
Next time you see the white burqa walking by, stone her to death ! She knows perfectly why ! It will not come as a surprise to her ! This is the destiny of all Burqas ! No matter if it is black or white, in the US or Yemen !
P.S. Imagine yourself driving your own car in down-town Mecca !...
