I’m glad you’re not offended. Just because I find hijab wearers shaggable doesn’t mean I get to shag them any more than all the other sections of the female community who impolitely refuse my advances

I thought that the title was pretty funny:

‘Being a British Muslim woman, by Sunny’

Shelina:

It sounds like a good article. I look forward to reading the extended version. These things, even though they seem obvious to some of us, do need saying.

Hijab chic: Surely there’s room for a Gaultier/Westwood stylee hijab in Union Jack fabric?

There’s a right thread for me to go into my fantasies?

Which one? Which one?

Is it the one about pashtunistan?

‘Poor, oppressed, miserable, battered Muslim women!’ cry the media harpies.

Um… really Shelina? I read this more often from… female Muslim journos. I’m sure you probably mean well but aren’t you, in your admittedly “cute” way, just feeding the victim culture?

Actually it seems everywhere you turn there is some public sector organisation displaying its supposedly “inclusive” values with pics of headscalf-sporting young ladies, thereby piling on the pressure for Muslim girls who don’t want to wear this oppressive symbol (nb: I’m no media harpy, sadly, just a feminist, even though I am a boy).

More original to draw attention to this than harping on about your largely home-made victim status, don’t you think?

Ermmm.. ok Kismet, let’s not go into your fantasies please. This is the wrong thread.

Sonia, I was calling her sentiments ‘cute’, not her.

(I’d like to clarify that hijab hotties – I love that Sonia, thanks – are horny, as opposed to giving you the mental image of me being horny with a hardon as we speak. I should stop talking right now really)

Kismet Hardy — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 14:15:29 +0000

I bought my girlfriend a hijab and she kind of spoiled my plan by freaking out and remembering her grandmother in the bedroom so my fantasy remains unlived

So horny

Sunny — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 14:05:00 +0000

thatâ€™s a bit condescending!

Is it? I liked her chirpy paragraph that followed about liking fish and chips etc…
