I think that body hugging clothes look better on many female body types. Baggy clothes can make a woman look shapeless, look bigger around the hips if she has wide hips, or can make a woman look boyish if the woman has no hips - it can be all around unflattering. It's acceptable to dress more revea...
The same thing can be said for men. Why do they wear form fitting shirts or suits that show off the masculine upper body? Why wear jeans or other pants that flatter the bum and legs? It certainly makes them look attractive. Men often wear tank tops and shorts - is that not as revealing as women wear...
Geez, bloody Etisalat. I can access it from a DIC area. Here is some info about Irshad Manji from her website: The New York Times has dubbed Irshad Manji “Osama Bin Laden’s worst nightmare.” She takes that as a compliment. Irshad is the best-selling author of The Trouble with Islam Today: A Muslim’...
And this is about her book. She has Arabic, Persian and Urdu copies online, which is also likely why the site is blocked. The Trouble with Islam Today is an open letter from me, a Muslim voice of reform, to concerned citizens worldwide -- Muslim and not. It's about why my faith community needs to c...

We are asking for your financial contribution – a contribution that will be tax-deductible in the United States. You can c...
Okay, that self-esteem thing needs clarification. One can get self esteem from showing off a great figure in revealing clothes, and one can get self esteem from attracting men. The first is a more healthy form of self-esteem than the latter obviously. A woman should feel good about herself without h...
You have a good point, but I knew some women in university who wore lots of make-up and dressed in skimpy clothes regularly because they didn't feel attractive unless men were looking at them or approaching them. It wasn't a lot of girls, just a few.
I saw this letter to the editor in 7 Days today and thought it was interesting. It’s amazing the ignorance of some parents’ behaviour in the presence of their children. This can be immensely damaging to the psychological wellbeing of any child. In a shopping mall’s public toilet, I was hit, in a st...
Here is a link to research some of the greener cars you can find in different car classes. Not all of the models are available here, and you'd have to check their safety rating separately. http://www.greenercars.com/indexplus.html After seeing the driving here we opted for a Murano which was on the ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidet However, I think he might have meant a urinal. I actually have no clue whether they have urinals in Dubai or not. Certainly they have bidets. We have one in our master bath, but I use it for washing the cats or washing my feet. :lol: Hey, the toilet has a little sh...
yeah, i did...and it did bother me for the longest time. i couldnt look at either one of them. i still cant look at my dad...i cant even stand when he walks aorund without a shirt now...but thats me. im not too comfortable looking at peoples bodies.... Really? I just can't identify with this at all...
I am sort of the same - will dress in colours or outfits that my husband likes when we go out for dinner together or something. I just don't like showing cleavage or too much leg in public. I save those outfits for hubby's eyes only within our villa walls. I do know some men though, who want their g...
Well, I suppose that is the same way some people feel about thinking about their parents having s.e.x and producing them in the first place. Obviously they did it or we all wouldn't be here, but some people get really creeped out thinking about it.
Well Shafique, I can answer you better if I know your definition of revealing. According to Islam, no head scarf and anything that shows skin or is form fitting is "revealing". Is your definition the same as this one? Let's get the term defined and go from there.
Sometimes a woman wearing an abayaa can be just as attractive as a woman not wearing one. The reason why is that some women are dressed in the black hijab and abayaa and they have the most stunning faces. The hijab and abayaa act as a frame that actually accentuate her beauty because her gorgeous fa...
Thanks bushy :wink: Oedipus complex - In psychoanalytic theory, a desire for fun involvement with the parent of the opposite fun and a sense of rivalry with the parent of the same fun. The term was introduced by Sigmund Freud in his Interpretation of Dreams (1899) and is derived from the mythologic...
I'm close to my test date now - am waiting to find out when it will be. Only a few more driving lessons left. I took the full package of driving lessons since I was technically considered a beginner. I can say that I am already a much better driver than about 70% of the people currently on the road....
It is really sad if parents make their children feel uncomfortable with family nudity. I mean, if you can't be nude in front of the people who created you, who can you be nude in front of? I mean, even a husband or wife is not the same thing.
I don't know what to call them... the black much looser dresses that some women wear, and the full-face veil and gloves. Is this a sign that a woman has very high self esteem? I mean, does she think that she is so stunning that she had better keep every inch of herself covered so that she does not h...
I asked the Toyota and Lexus dealers and they said they had no plans to introduce hybrid vehicles in the UAE. The gas is cheap and people don't really care to pay more for the hybrid technology. Environmentalism isn't big here.
If the issue is about what a woman is wearing, why is it that non-Muslim women who dress conservatively with long sleeves and long pants - loose fitting even - can still be harassed by Muslim men? If a covered woman is a mark of a "good" non-sleazy woman, why do non-Muslim women who cover ...
Actually, I didn't know about her book but just might read it now. Apparently she has received many death threats - so hopefully nothing
happens to her.
