Great Video!!

it's weird how all of those people in the "rating physical beauty" were comparing it all to a small percentage of what real women are. i guess i laughed really hard when that one boy said "jane" was "that feminist magazine." I LOVED THE MUSLIM video one. interesting contrasts.

My issues with the hijab video:

- Niqab is not the same as hijab. The interviewees were asked about the niqab and then the rest of the video went into a hijab-love fest.

- The song. Really, equating hijab with a woman's "dignity" is quite offensive to those of us who don't wear hijab. The implication of the video was that a lack of hijab makes a woman akin to the magazine cover models. It's also interesting that that particular nasheed, praising hijab, was sung by men, who obviously would not be hijabis.
