Doing a web search, I came across an entertaining cartoon drawn by Syrian cartoonist Puppeteer<\/a> cataloging the many styles of hijab out there. Its focus is on Syria, but aside from the Kubeisya it seems pretty universal to me. And every community has its well-meaning but unnerving glarers who more or less share the aesthetic (if not the trademark coat\u2026or the cartoon\u2019s unibrow). [HT:\u00a0 My Adventures in Syria<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Brilliant and wonderfully playful.\u00a0 I especially like the \u201cninja\u201d, who\u2019s ready to pounce.\u00a0 And that Indonesian maid bit is biting but painfully familiar social commentary.<\/p>\n
