Heh, good point about putting hijab on the generic icons. I guess it had to be made crystal clear that they Belong.

Maybe two adult males witnessed them having sex outside of marriage.

At least the comments on that page are full of brave Muslim women (and one atheist white guy) protesting eloquently. No-one defending it that I can see.

Oh bang!
I had to look again after this comment because I didn’t even realize they were supposed to be heads. I thought it was some weird lady symbol floating above the a burka’d head. I wtf’d for probably a full minute before I decided to just move on lol.

Really, really, creepy, some people from the 7th century are having a conference, in the ‘world’s most liveable city’.
I’m sorry- I don’t meant to make light of it, I just don’t don’t even know what to say about why that exists or why that disembodied head thing’s patronus is a fencing Nazgûl.
So creepy in so many ways. I’m making jokes here because I just don’t even know what do with it- , but I mostly feel horror and anger and fear.

This takes me back to the MSN messenger days. At first glance, they looked like the generic avatar MSN would give you if you didn’t have a picture.
Also, note how even on the generic icons they had to put a hijab.

Virtual hijabs, very clever, and virtual women.

That’s not the only one, either. There is also this one.

Ouch.
This would be comedy if it wasn’t so damn real.

That… looks like a fencing dementor.
And I still can’t decide if it’s scarier than the floating heads.
Saad says
It looks like white Nazgûl.
leni says
It does! But with a fencing mask on 🙂
