Quoting Capoeira:

I see covered women everyday. It doesn't stop the men around here from turning and starring them up and down when they pass. So whoever has this idea that men are deterred from looking is crazy!

Also many covered women wear make-up. And many covered women are completely covered and what is covering them is sooo tight we get to see exactly what they are covering.

I see covered women smoking, holding hands with their boyfriends, making out in public parks and all the other things that uncovered women do.

So what is the point of covering? I feel that women should cover if they want. But this notion that they are invisible to the world and sexual fantasy of men is totally ridiculous!

You are Soooooooooo right! I've seen "working ladies" quite veiled. They were conducting "brisk business" as well. One can be covered with cloth and be naked, or not covered and be covered.

I would draw the line at functionality. If your skirt or sleeves are so long it causes hazards I would seriously question it. If your face is covered in such a manner you are like the The Lone Ranger or Zorro I'd question that too.

Look at it like this. Please take the time to actually THINK about it.

The dominant culture that is now in power is Polynesian, or some African Nubian culture where hardly any garments are worn. How would you feel bare breasts, belly exposed and more?

Different cultures have different degrees of bodily exposure they are comfortable with. To some women in the Islamic cultures, exposing their hair, neck and other bodily parts is tantamount to being naked.

Would you like to HAVE to bare your breasts? It's a matter of personal privacy for many.

Quoting AlphaF:

.................You can make many types of gim chi at home. The one made uf chineese cabbage is very easy to make and goes very well with most Turkish food.

Recipe available on request.

Mmmmm Kim Chi....yum...Kim Chi

Kimchi is made of various vegetables and contains a high concentration of dietary fiber, while being low in calories. It also provides up to 80% of the daily required amount of ascorbic acid and carotene.[8] Most types of kimchi contain common ingredients like onions, garlic and peppers all of which have well-known health benefits. The vegetables being made into kimchi also contribute to the overall nutritional value. Kimchi is rich in vitamin A, thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), calcium and iron,[9][10] and contains a number of lactic acid bacteria. In 2000, a novel bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacterium (strain MT-1077T) was isolated from Kimchi and was named Lactobacillus kimchi

Quoting catwoman:

Alameda, I would have preferred a Wikipedia link.. :-S

The Kurdistan Workers Party (Kurdish: Partiya KarkerÃªn Kurdistan or PKK Turkish: also called KADEK, Kongra-Gel, and KCK) is a terrorist organization founded in the 1970s and led by Abdullah Ã–calan until his capture in 1999. The PKK's ideology was founded on revolutionary Marxism-Leninism and Kurdish nationalism. The PKK's goal has been to create an independent socialist Kurdish state in Kurdistan, an area that comprises parts of south-eastern Turkey, north-eastern Iraq, north-eastern Syria and north-western Iran; where the Kurdish population is in the majority. These states oppose any such change.[4][5] PKK has been labelled an ethnic secessionist organization that uses force and the threat of force against both civilian[6] and military targets for the purpose of achieving its political goal.

For anyone who has questions regarding the PKK....

"The PKK - which is designated a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the US, and the EU - is thought to have about 3,000 rebels based in Iraq."

....Ha ha ha ha, said the one who wants all men and boys to be trained as killers!!!

Excuse me catwoman, I DO NOT support all men and boys being trained as killers, and I do not appreciate your inaccurate catagorization of my wants.

I do support a mandatory draft as well as mandatory education. It is a very complicated matter. It is one that does not fit this thread.

Fabulous link Roswitha, thanks! I spoke with an older Turkish woman who told me they used to use lace doilies soaked in henna then wrapped tight against the skin to make patterns.
