Head covering? Check. Dark kohl? Check. Narrowed gaze of defiance? Check. Juxtaposed with a helpless look too? Check. Tasteless veil pun for the dozenth time? Check.
Wonderful. Now you know all you need to about Muslim women. Here’s your oriental cookie.
every time i see a spread like this i cringe.
‘there is no racism in the book world’, my ass.
Damn, this showed up again on my dash, I guess I have to post these again.
