Thanks for the pictures at least. Politics and Beauty pageants. A rather old story. New wrinkes here, of course. But not earth shattering news. What remains disturbing is the proclivity of some Islamists to introduce an element of involving the threat of violence. Islam, relatively speaking, is a young relgion compared to Judaism and Christianity. There are sorry episodes in those two religions -- different times, different places -- which are not unanalogous to what goes on relative to Islam today in these kinds of matters. (e.g., the test of the Tsota)

I will say, however, that a number of the pictures posted exhibited a charming and endearing modesty in these matters. The feminine mystique cannot obtain without modesty. I can't lose any Feminist friends on this issue because my sense of it is that I have none.
