Bombs, Burqas, Burqinis by Parvez Sharmaposted by Parvez Sharma at 18h51 GMT on Oct 4
![]() Strange times, my friends...strange times In the NWFP (North West Frontier Province) of Pakistan, a male suicide bomber dressed in a Burqa has killed 15 people. On the Internet, Australian Lebanese designer Ahiida is selling Dynamic Sportwear and Swimwear for Today's Muslim Female. (TMF as I shall always call them forevermore). The Burqinis (TM) says Ahiida are chlorine resistant and water repellant. I hope this new sartorial choice for the TMF's- repels much more than water-and has a special feature to repel those poor misogynistic Muslim men we hear so much about. For all my god fearing Muslim sisters 'JIHADA's'- Ahiida has a SALE right now-she is giving us discounts so that we may swim freely on our rocky beaches in Gaza, and not have to worry about the bombs and bombshells from the Israeli 'Defence Forces'. And yes, they do wear Chanel Abayas in Jeddah (I almost got one for myself) and yes, the chadors And yes, THERE IS NO DEMOCRACY WITHOUT THE FREEDOM TO DRESS, MODESTLY. (always). As I always say: Jihad! Jihad! Everywhere! And so many drops to drink!

Congratulations Mr. Sharma. I have read your pieces on The Huffington Post and enjoy your stimulating social commentary mixed with biting wit. It is refreshing to have an insider perspective on contemporary issues barely touched on in the West. Good luck with the film and with your jihad!
