a lesson on Muslim headscarves

If you've ever wondered the difference between a burka, hijab, and chador (or wondered what they are in general), check out this article from the bbc. It's about a law passed in Belgium that bans women from wearing a burka, but if you scroll down about halfway, there's a lovely set of pictures with accompanying explanation about headscarves.

Thank you for posting. This is interesting :)

Also, I am so happy for you and your tumorless eyes. I had a tiny black dot on my sclera that I was convinced was eye cancer (I know someone who had a black dot on her eye and had to have it removed) and it turned out to be nothing. It was terrifying, though. Big relief!
