Umm, I think you're missing the point of a burkha, which is to hide the female form so that Muslim men aren't forced by the sight of a female ankle to rape a woman who's the property of another Muslim man.
These avante garde fashions from China accentuate the female form, while concealing the identities of the women wearing them.
I don't like the face masks, but the paper-cut designs and fabric textures are amazing. I think their hats were modeled on a martini olive, a balloon stem, and an umbilical cord.
American born, my wife and I moved to Israel in 1970. We have lived at Shiloh together with our family since 1981. I was in the Betar youth movement in the US and UK. I have worked as a political aide to Members of Knesset and a Minister during 1981-1994, lectured at the Academy for National Studies 1977-1994, was director of Israel's Media Watch 1995-2000 and currently, I work at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem. I was a guest media columnist on media affairs for The Jerusalem Post, op-ed contributor to various journals and for six years had a weekly media show on Arutz 7 radio. I serve as an unofficial spokesperson for the Jewish Communities in Judea & Samaria.
