The way I see it this is marginalizing why the women in rl wear them. In fact I would go so far as to say it's damn close to insulting. Oh what the hell; it is insulting. Then again some of the population isn't interested in what is right or wrong they are interested in fads and making a quick buck "any way they can". This gadget has nothing to do with it's rl counter part. However it's easy to see why hatred is alive and well in this world. Shame on the creator of this item.

So as a Miltant Socialist Atheist I have to confess to getting great lolz from the HUD idea. Anyone want to run with the link between an "Xcite-compatible" HUD that oppresses women by denying them a sexuality and the more usual HUDs that may explemplify Western oppression of women by demanding that they be *nothing but* a sexuality? I look forward to the compatible Fundy Christian Homoerotic Longings HUD. It’s not mocking Islam, it’s mocking *some* Muslims using Islam to treat women like dirt.

But it is not; what we see are liberal market forces in action. The recently launched Al-Andalus sim was clearly threatening to dominate the so far spread and nascent Islamic fundamentalist market sector in SL on a scale that can only by compared to Anshe Chung’s 10L furniture line. With the emergence of the Burkha Babes the whole spectrum from fundamentalist (kill all infidels painfully) to mainstream conservative (kill some infidels less painfully) Muslims now have virtually a real choice: (a) Life under law of the sharia in Al-Andalus (“Illegal rezzing: 10 whippings”), or (b) Best-in-black competitions with the dancing Burkha Babes in that pink mosque club with the dildo shaped minarets (“200L and that eye grid falls, honey”) A welcomed, but tough choice; and I’m happy that I don’t have to make it. But I do agree with a comment of one of my Dutch friends on this: We all should get stoned once in a while. - Just I like was when I was writing this post. Peace.
