Not to bother you during the fast but when you get around to it . Okay if I ask this stupid american question about your culture? I know you live in the UK but

Do the women wear colorful or decorative scarfs to be attractive if not attractive, distinct, memorable? Seems I seen quite a few colorful ones in iran when US relations were better.

I ask cuz I'm doing it now as a male. But it seemed something the women here would embrace. As Dr brix already owns it. Seems to me Muslims and Islamic culture should be way ahead on the game on that.

^youre not bothering me brother !!!!

are you talking about the hijab, the scarf the covers the head and leaves the face exposed? yeah its just decorative there so many diff styles that women wear in UK albeit its only 1% of Muslim women that actually wear them.. the jilbab is the full covering usually in black as the whole point is NOT to be noticed, but i have seen embroidery on them and diff styles i guess to make them stand out between there friends etc....

there's a " burkha" which covers the whole body and the only thing visible are the eyes.

i have seen some pics of the time when it was the Spanish influenza epidemic and lots of women were wearing the Islamic style face-covering..... i guess its not a big deal for the spanish women as 700 years rule of the moors in spain they have the hijab, jilbab, burkha in there past culture.

Cool!
Thanks bro.
Nothing like a little knowledge to quench a Thirst.
I feel there's a Rumi quote here about satiating a fast with feast of knowledge.
