Went into town for the first time in a while to get a surprisingly rare library book and was chilling in the library for a bit.

This woman in a niqab was chillen and sharing a table with me and this tiny little kid wandered away from his mom and sort of dinked around before slowly coming up to her.

I was waiting for the usual “what’s that on your face?” Thing but this kid taps her on the arm and whispers “Are you a Mandolorian?”

She was laughing and the little boys mom came over and apologized for him bothering her studies. She repeated his question to his mom and they both chuckled a bit. This little boys mom asked her to explain to her son why she wore a niqab so he could learn about it.

And guys it was a GOOD moment. His eyes were so big while she was explaining her religion and he asked so many cute little questions and I could tell it made that woman’s day.

[quotesfromall]

In the Arab society, the veil belongs to the clothing traditions of the Tunisian, Algerian, Moroccan, and Libyan national societies. For the tourist and the foreigner, the veil demarcates both Algerian society and its feminine components. In the case of the Algerian man, on the other hand, regional modifications can be noted: the fez in urban centers, turbans and djellabas in the countryside. The masculine garb allows  a certain margin of choice, a modicum of heterogeneity.

Reblog if you are a western liberal and you oppose bans on Burkas, Niqabs, Hijabs, etc.

People should have the choice to dress as they like.

would you ever write a Muslim character who wears a niquab or a burka?

I actually have written Muslimahs who wear the niquab. Saena and her foster-daughter Zal both wear a niquab in “The Mark of Bone & Salt” and Razadi from “The Lioness of Afsana” wears one, too. So does Amrit, the doctor and medical examiner in Eidolon.

I’m not sure about the burka. I don’t know that I’m skilled enough to do that and do it right where I’m at right now, you know? I wouldn’t want to try it and then get it super wrong or make it uncool through my own lack of skill. But I’m always open to doing it in the future.
