The final note on niqab
Posted October 28th, 2006 by Laury Silvers
Ashly Higgens, a former student of mine and a reader of PI.Org website, sent me this hysterical photo from DC's "High Heel Drag Race." It seems to put the proper note to the absurdity of the anti-niqab discussion. Niqab is as American as you can get when it gets to be campy drag wear. Fellow Muslims, we have arrived!

I suppose I could wear my
I suppose I could wear my niqab for Halloween, with a skull mask
underneath. Unveil my face every so often. Man, I'm so tempted…ÂÂ
Yes, MH, go for it! And
Yes, MH, go for it!
And Laury, I didn’t think it was possible, but I love you even more for this. You know you’re an American Muslim when your imam posts drag pics.
MH, You should do! Please
MH, You should do! Please with the skull mask! I still have my burqa from the wrestling match. I should wear that to give out candy. Except, I never give out candy at the house where I live now. It is such a pain to keep going up and down the stairs to open to the door every three minutes. I am the Grinch of Halloween.
Forget the skull mask, wear
Forget the skull mask, wear a Bush mask, much scarier.
Ya Haqq!
Well, Irving, I laughed so
Well, Irving, I laughed so hard at that one that my desk shook… seriously.
Yup, the shrub is really scary nowadays.
Muslims voted for Bush
Muslims voted for Bush remember and he received CAIR’s endorsement in 2000, little did they know that he would go around demanding regime change in the Middle East and do so with the use of military force.
Muslims thought the Republicans were appealing because they cheat on their taxes, their cheap asses who don’t give a damn about the poor, zakat is nothing more but a public ritual showing with little meaning behind it, and they care more about Ahmid getting into Yale than emancipating a slave in Khartoum or educating an Afghan girl with the most basic of educations.
It’s nice to want to wish the best for your children, but if you are going to show obligatory charity, at least be sincere about the act or don’t do it at all.
Salaam Gustavo, glad to see
