Read the excerpt from Does My Head Look Big in This? by Randa Abdel-Fattah. The Religious/Scriptures/Sacred stuff: I believe in
Allah/God’s commandments contained in the Koran. God says men and women should act and dress modestly. The way I see it, I’d rather follow God’s fashion dictates than some ugly fake-tanned old fart in Milan who’s getting by on a pretty self-serving theory of less is more when it comes to female dress.
