Maqbool Islamic Clothing owner Jabir Tarin organizes items his shop on
Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2012 in Union City, Calif. The store carries a
variety of traditional Muslim clothing and hopes to attract a young,
hip clientele to the East Bay store once it opens on March 17, 2012

I have no objection to making them easier to spot

“”One of the blessings of living in the Bay Area is there’s so much diversity,” Tarin said. “You could all but go naked and nobody will say anything.” “

I thought they recently passed a law that you could go naked.

They need to be watched.

I'd like to add this to my wardrobe:

Would it be sufficiently fashionable?

“when you’re going to learn the sacred knowledge”

Just wanted that part repeated.

There is no such thing as “Islamic clothing”. This is Arabic clothing, more accurately, secular Arabic clothing which has been around since before Islam ever was introduced in Arabia.

It was only a matter of time. Next, fashion burkhas?

[starlifter]

” multicultural Muslim clothing “

I would say it's monocultural...

You are correct.

"Islamic" clothing is topless. < rimshot >

I've always wanted a fez, myself. Hey, maybe it keeps off the San Francisco whackos!

Designer bomb vests with voice-activated triggers. Coming soon to Intifada Emporium stores near you!

Time to buy a Crusader T-shirt.

Where’s the 11.0 earthquake in the Fag/Muslim Bay area when you really, really need one?

Hey, maybe it keeps off the San Francisco whackos!

That works both ways. I used to be stationed in New London, Conn., back before the Shah fell, and we were training a lot of Iranian submariners.

I knew several non-Jewish girls who wore a Star of David, just to keep the Iranians away.

"Hey Dhirkira, did you hear? There's a cool new burqa store in the East Bay! It's SO hip--they have the new spring color--gray-black!"

"Cool, Hezbolatrina, how do we get there? Can your husband take us? Maybe we can ask my brother or some other man in the family."

"OK, great! Maybe in a month or two one of them will take us if don't make them mad at us for anything."

"Sooo exciting!"

"Gurrrl, you know it!"

I think that is my favorite animated GIF of all time.
