I enjoyed the video for what it's worth. However...your criticism of the islamic dress for women was lost on idividuals like myself who actually don the black abaya, and headscarf daily and get this, I love it. It's elegant, it's modest, and it says very loudly to anyone who wishes to judge it "WHO CARES WHAT YOU THINK!" I'm a Muslim woman, and this is what I wear, and if you don't like it, well look the other direction because its not going away. Don't stage any protests, don't rally up the troops, or sound the alarms on behalf of us,and our culture, you have lifetimes worth of your own issues to tackle before you can even begin to think about speaking on behalf of us. Save your pity for yourselves, God knows you have ours.
