Unfortunately the local fashion critics will stone you to death if you make the worst dressed list.

nothing makes my blood boil like seeing a woman in a burkha, and seeing Life trying to mainstream that vision of evil is beyond words for me.
Enemies everywhere.

They’re hot. Maybe dehydrating even.
To: UncleHambone
Yeah, they’re beautiful if you believe in dehumanizing women.

The Burqa seems to be a trending favorite for the best dressed robbers of Europe, too. :p

How can "beautiful" and "burqa" be in the same phrase?
Burqas are a crime against humanity. They are not "beautiful" under any circumstances.
I can't wait for LIFE's next article on "beautiful" things that humiliate humankind: "Beautiful Prisoner Garb", "Beautiful Slave Chains", and "Beautiful Chastity Belts."
To: UncleHambone
Dementor, dementor!!!
To: UncleHambone
American women should be clamoring for these. I’m sure they would go over very well in summer in Miami, Phoenix, Death Valley...
Yep, what a thing of beauty. Really puts to shame those formal gowns the hollywood women wear on red carpet occassions.

My blood boils, too. My first thought is, “why don’t you just go back to where you came from. Wearing of the burqua is a total rejection of American values.
To: UncleHambone
I am sorry but there are aesthetic qualities in theses pictures... It's not because we hate a concept (like war for example) that it doesn't make it an interesting photographic subject. Some of these pictures are quite fascinating…
Doesn’t mean I approve of Burqas… far from it…
