#1 Okay, this is getting muddled...

The niqab is the traditional Arabian style face veil. Think of those black velvet paintings...

The burqa is like the niqab, around here it connotes the Afghan style face-veil - the mesh thingy.

The abaya is the head to toe potato sack.

A "full burqa" is an abaya integrated with the mesh face veil.

Got it? Lol. Now take it off!

#2 Groups of wymyns wearing the traditional black (Arab style) abayas are referred to as MBO's (Moving Black Objects) or Ninjas.

#6 "In Australia they are called mailboxes."

I haven't heard that one... Um, what, exactly, are called mailboxes? The veils, the whole pkg, gaggles of them in public?

#8 Hiding ones face in public should be a crime. Their can be no good reason for it.

No one who can't be visibly indetified should be allowed in a government building ever. They should not be allowed to work in the secular government at all ever.

#9 The whole package is the mailbox, and the eye slot is where you pop in the letters.

#10 Heh, gotcha, Grunter - that's a good one. It's a bizarro sight along the Corniche - the road in the al Khobar / al Dammam area that runs along the coast of the Gulf of Rumsfeld - to see gaggles of mailboxes picnicking with their families... Everyone else is recognizable as a person - with these black amorphous masses hovering over the scene... Then, to make it even more bizarre, there are the young Saudi males dragging the Corniche to check out the "chicks" - in their ninja get-ups. What can they "see"? Beats the hell out of me. They must develop a special eye or sense to be able to tell anything, including species, about what they're looking at from 30+ yards away. Freaky.

#11 So what do the womed do at the picnics, .com, about shovelling in food? One would need some kind of an access port through the cloth.

#12 It's got a thread loop sewn at the upper corner of the face veil on one side and a hook it slips over sewn on the head portion - or at least the one I saw up close did... They unhook the veil, snarf up a bite, and re-hook to chew. You realize we're not supposed to get so close that we can actually see such things - dat be some Islamic Overlord's pet y'know - though I have, lol, once in a grocery store... but that's another story, heh.

#14 You referring to scoping out chicks? From 30+ yds away? Heh.
