Okay everyone smile, you on the left look at the camera. Is that you holding the Gucci Bag?
… and I guess the shoe of the second on the left is a Nike - running shoe…
cheers and happy new year

That is a really funny picture…
Happy New Year…
Kim:)
I have seen this photo many times.
USA needs to invent something for Saudi to distinguish their women. For example, a tagging system :). You can attach around the head some sort of tag (like the tag we use for our bags in airports) so one of these women could know where is she standing …
or, you can find a unique id for each women and enforce women to have big ID somewhere on their tents ….
Happy new year and Merry Xmas John and to all ur readers…
You need your mouth to be tagged with “Been Shut Up!”
Haha that’s a pretty awesome picture. And by picture I mean the picture of the picture-taking.
There’s great variety in those burkas. Two have multi-seam stitching. One has wider shoulder inserts. And the third one from the right is showing a lot more of the bridge of her nose. These women are not very modest by some standards, remember those blue table clothes the Taliban had afghan women wearing back before 9/11.
What’s the point?
John, this is the most stupid question.. it’s simply none of your business. Racist.
Mark,
Actually, I don’t think you’re quite correct here. If people are going to go out walking around in public flaunting their religious culture via the clothes they wear then they are opening themselves up to comment.
I find the Islamic dress code for women to be the most visibly insulting icon of that religion. It underscores the inequality inherant in that belief system and publicly brands women as “property”. It is the most disgusting human practice that I can think of - well, besides the fact that Islamic men actually beat their wives. I have no respect for any man that treats women as less than equals.
Oh, and racism refers directly to a “race” of people, like black, white, yellow, or whatever. I’m taking a jab at a religious practice so you should really look into finding a better name to call me. Maybe something like “bigot”, “a-hole” or “jerk”.
Love,
John
Geez get off your soap box. That was funny.
John,
I’d have to agree with Mark above, although I wouldn’t put it so bluntly. I agree that from a US citizen’s perspective, this photo is hilarious. We are used to seeing people’s faces in photos, and are also used to seeing scantily clad women everywhere.
But it would be very ethnocentric to try and judge the lifestyles of other cultures based on our own perspective. Apparently, they like their women like this over there.
Yes, they do!
Barefoot and pregnant! Yee-haw!
John
Here is a blog….about Muslims - showcasing the picture. Asking basically the same question - Who is who?
And while I wholeheartedly agree with John about the degradation factor in this vile practice, I am quite sure you wouldn’t go to that blog and call them racists, or even jerks, or even a**holes.
I mean, heck - if it was me and my mother and my sister and my cousin dressed as such - I don’t know that I’d want a picture, because, like John said - ‘What’s the point?’
LOL
Say Cheez.!!!
Hahaha yes seriously whats the point in taking this pic.
John,
Islam? Why did you bring this up?
Am not a Muslim, Am American who lived among Arabs and Muslims for quite long time.
I am a proud Christian who loves Jesus and Mohammed.
It’s just that I hate to see someone like you making fun of others.
Are you perfect? how about me making a blog with your picture on it and calling you “a four eyed old goat?”
But I wouldn’t do that, because I respect you.
Who cares about of what you think of someone’s religion or believes?
Thinking of why some people on this planet hates America.. the answer is becuase of people like John P.
And Yeah, thanks for correcting me.. you’re not Racist, you are a “Jerk”.
Mark,
one of the good things about this blog is that NOBODY is forcing you to read or comment it.
Looking at 19 comments (and only two negative) nearly 90% think its a funny picture, thats not too bad. I also don’t think they are all racists… or pardon… “Jerks”.
There are plenty of other reasons why some people “hate” (a very strong word) America, like there are plenty of reasons why people “love” America. But isn’t it like that with each country in the world ?
But what do I know, I am German…. ooops I forgot, people hate germany too…
