The Evil Eye & Just One Eye

Interesting article in today's Arab News, "Effects of evil eye exaggerated, says psychiatrist." Yeah. Really. It is absolutely astounding what some people will choose to believe. No different than superstitions, though, like Friday the 13th being bad luck, or breaking a mirror being seven years of bad luck...

This has made the rounds on the internet already. I've seen it at a couple of different sites. No more slits in face veils that show both eyes. You only need one, "just enough to be able to see." I'm not even gonna comment on it...

  2. I guess the women in Saudi Arabia should be thankful they will have at least one slit to see?

    Then again, since they are not supposed to be out without male escort, why do they need to see at all? Why can't the men lead them around, with the women essentially blindfolded?

    Ah, how far the Islamic world has left us in the West behind in its liberation of women!
