Recently in my country,it hit the headlines when a famous singer (male) was caught while trying to enter a mosque WEARING A BURQA(to avoid publicity),it created a rage and he had to apologise.... In PAKISTAN as I read in papers, Abdul Aziz Ghazu ,the chief cleric of Islamabad Red mosque was caught while trying to escape in a burqa posing as an "anty" and slip out among women ,all wearing black enveloping burqas, This has led me to wonder WHAT IS DRIVING MEN TO WEAR BURQA IN TODAYS??? well in that same paper I came across some really funny reasons of why men should opt for burqa, 1)one would no longer be envious of the greate looks on actors like "TOM CRUISE"!!! 2) SAVE MEN from expenses on facial hair removal and fairness cream...WHAT A LOSS TO COSMETIC INDUSTRY!!! 3)A BOON FOR FASHION DESIGNERS.... inspired by italian and french counterparts there would soon be desiner burqa for men very soon. 4)After abroad tours OUR CRICKETERS can breeze through the arrival lounge of airport with heads held high. 5) BURQA is so elegant that as long as one is in it, one need not be worried even if his wearing a dreary grab under it... But HOW WOULD YOU TELL THE COPS FROM OTHER MALES ON THE STREETS..... ITS simple!! let them wear KHAKI BURQA!!

Really funny evangleen, Ya sometimes people become somethng that they always wanted to, very popular. But then they are afraid of being seen. Sometimes people are so connected to their inner faults that they hide behind curtains. All this is so natural and so much more noticeable these days. Not only women but also men are getting into the burqas, hiding themselves from the public. Man sometimes its really funny.!! HEHE

Hm, hiding? But if everyone did it, well, okay, let's see... Michael Jackson - burqa - face mask - white glove - no, I just can't see it!

Yeah ive heard of this when Himesh tried to enter a mosque disguise in burqa. He should not have done that but when you put yourself in his shoes you will understand why he did this. Being a celebrity he would not been able to pray and this why he opted for a burqa
