#2 ....I know, to each their own and all that, but that is one thoroughly unattractive woman on that cover.

That is funny. Well, an islamic fundamentalist has to keep up with trends in women's clothing.

They can't be caught trying to escape in last year's burqa, after all.

#11 I would not be comfortable if my wife or daughters dressed like it.

"I would have to kill them both. After molesting my daughters. No, wait. Kill the wife first. Then molest my daughters. Then kill them. Then plead insanity. Unless it's a Sharia court, then they'll give me a pass. Okay, it's settled. Everybody dies, and I get away with it. Sounds like a plan. DAMN YOU, VOGUE!"

Mike, I don't know about that,not bad for a mum of three, maybe a bit skinny, but I lean towards the Jacqueline Kennedy school of thought, who said "you can never be too skinny or too rich"

#16 What do the usual Turkish Vogue covers look like? Until we have a comparison, I'm going to assume it's just that the subject got the fundamentalists' attention, and normally they don't pay attention to secular women's fashion magazines.

#17 "woman's beauty" does not equal "women's fashion"

#18 her beauty used to be skin deep, but that one is ugly to the bone.

#19 Strict Muslims have called for the magazine to be boycotted because her western decadence is a bad influence.

I think they have a pretty good point.
