Her life. Her choice. Why should we care

There are plenty of white Muslims in the world.

You see this sort of thing all the time in Europe. Wealthy women from Saudia Arabia or UAE fly privately to Milan or Rome to go on shopping sprees. They will be covered stepping out of Rolls. I see nothing strange about it.

That would be funny if it weren't a real possibility.

It happens all over the world, why not here?

If it happens again in the U.S., I'll bet you a steak dinner that the bomber is not wearing traditional Muslim garb. And with even more certainty, I'll bet the bomber is not carrying a $300 handbag.

The private jet crowd wouldn't be caught dead with a Hilfiger bag. Louis Vuitton, maybe. Hermes, sure.

Test marketing her Halloween costume?

Let's hope neither of us has to pay up.

Good point - the hilarious notion that a Tommy Hilfiger bag is a high end one.

I don't. She could have had a rainbow burka on with just the eye opening for all I care. I have just never seen this with western goods displayed, nor a white woman. Ten years ago here , you'd see the head scarf and what not, but that full sheet deal with only the eyes showing, and seeing it more and more and more, is new, at least here in suburban Texas. Specifically the last 3 years, becoming very common. Either they are moving here or that religion and its' practices are growing. One, the other, or both.

I saw a white lady in a burqa this morning. She was wearing a fedora too. It's San Francisco so who knows.

As stated earlier, Tommy Hilfinger is very low end.

Secondly, just spend 30 minutes at Dubai Mall and you will see more white women in burkas than you can shake a stick.

For that matter just go to Rodeo Dr. in LA and its full of burka wearing white women wearing Jimmy Choo and Herme.
