Hahaha, that’s not what ‘muslim’ should look like. Oh jeez.

Looks like a Central Asian escort service ad.. Poorly chosen!! People are always confusing Muslims with an ethnicity as opposed to a religion.

What’s wrong, the cleavage, the hair? Dating?

the cleavage. i was leaving a comment, and instead of the brown chick with the red hijab this pops up, and i was like, “wtf!?!” kind of reminded me some of the parodies for “christian erotica” you see around the web.
dan, i don’t swing toward the swarth, fwiw. no so worries.

there are lots of ways muslims can look obviously. my surprise was mostly due to the fact that it seems like that sort of rather frankly sexually enticing image is what people proactively trying out muslim dating sites would be trying to find alternatives to. one assumes that a latitudinarian muslim dating site would have a range of clothing styles, etc., but obviously there boundaries in terms of what a substantial proportion of the clientele would find out of bounds. it didn’t seem like a good capitalist move. but i’m pretty after looking at the site that they were simply spamming the ad-network pretty indiscriminately, and that it is probably not a straightforward couples site but is geared toward men somehow….
