A Question About Middle East Women
 

some of the women in middle east must cover their face right.
My friend told me that their passport photo are covered as well. So basically you can only see their eyes....is that true !!?

Well...not if you order this!:

I find that very hard to believe. I'm gonna say no? Those particular religions with the covering of the face only need to do it when they are outside of the home. I believe they can take off their "masks" when they are back at home, maybe in other people's homes too?

nice vid 124Y, haha.

groupbuy? :lol

airport is outside of their home btw..........

I'm curious about this Q since OP asked ... lol

nice vid lol

if thats true then arent they scared that they are going to get blackmail by the photographers ? :haha:

If theyre not allowed to show their faces, it seems like they wouldnt be able to travel out of the country either.

that would make sense.

OP: you should ask to see these passport photos.

hahaha wtf
nice question... no idea...

even if they aren't let out of the country. wouldn't they still have photo id cards?

too bad... my friend from middle east is a guy and he grew in hk. At this point im not sure if my friend is bullshiting me or not haha

moomoocow did you ever wonder ?!? haha btw did u get my emails ? i need deodorant asap running out lol

If they get caught talking to you, their husband will have them killed.

^
As sad as it is, it's true.

they are like kinder surprise... you never know whatz underneath haha

there was a big discussion on the news about this a few years ago, don't remember the gist of it though
