Fitna

Geert Wilders, a right-wing member of the Dutch Parliament, has released his controversial film. I just finished watching it. It contains a lot of fiery rhetoric and gruesome photos. Interesting to see the comments that others have made about it. Have a look at it and see what you think. It lasts about 15 minutes.

Modesty Comes at a Price

An Australian company named Ahiida had developed sportswear for Muslim women. They market several lines of sporting wear, but the one that captured my attention is the burkini. Yes, a swimsuit burqa. They have two styles - slim-fit (photo) and modest-fit. I took a look at both and found it hard to tell the difference. One difference is the price: $170 AUD ($133 USD) for slim-fit, and $190AUD ($149 USD) for modest fit. Does that mean even Ahiida makes modesty the more expensive choice? Twenty bucks for a couple of inches more material. No one ever said righteousness would be cheap.
