have Yemen been handed to terrorists actually?, terrorist activities rising last days in most of southern cities, the last shooking news is "Islamic militants stormed a supermarket in Yemen's southern city of Aden on Sunday" http://afddal.blogspot.com/2015/10/islamic-militants-storm-supermarket-in.html
Not something new in the Islamic world: "The witnesses said the militants shouted that they were protesting the mingling of men and women in the supermarket and demanded that female employees cover their faces, in keeping with a strict interpretation of Islamic law. A supermarket worker said the militants told them this was the final warning." I often wonder why there would be a single female that is Muslim...seems a bit counter productive, perhaps masochistic.
dear tecoyah's, i think it's wrong to generalize your speach "not all moslems are bad", the extremist militans is very very small in islamic coutries, and their thoughts are rejected by most of moslems
dear abbood86's....my commentary was directed at the reported actions of this "Very, very small" portion who fired weapons in a freakin' grocery store in an attempt to enforce the Islamic Laws stated in the faith. As well as any females that feel it is acceptable to be treated as less than human.
I have this wonderful hat is like and umbrella made of straw with a high pointed peak.. My father brought it to me from Aden years ago. What can you tell me about the Yemeni people who wear flowers in their hair?
hi Margot2, yes straw umbrella is very beautiful, here i see most of yemen visitor try to bring some of them to their home. regarding women and girls who wear flower on head "this flowers called (Mashkor) and it's a yemeni heritage used to decorate girls heads in ocassions and ceremonies"
