No such thing as muslim dress? Whats the burka?
Read a book, for God's sake. Burqas are tribal dress, traditional in parts of Afghanistan and Central/South Asia, but as far as I know it is not a word included anywhere in the Koran. The Koran proscribes modest dress, which has been interpreted in wildly different ways depending on time period, social class, national/tribal customs. Modest dress itself is generally equated with veiling - which is typically called hijab in Arabic and Persian (not sure about other languages.) Some countries require this by law (Saudi, Iran), many others don't but it may be effectively required by social norms. That is more education on this issue than your semi-literate query deserves, but less than you need.
In the Persian or Farsi, the head and body cover is a chador, not a hijab which covers only the hair. Perhaps you should follow your own advice, PP.
Not pp but,
Farsi is a language
Persian is a culture
In Iran women can wear scarves to cover hair to meet government imposed requirements, no veil and, a "traditional" chador if they want to.
Iran fashion show - fyi
and in the streets today

This was actually really funny. All the moronic backpedaling and the subsequent skewering....well done, DCUM

Unfortunately you are counted among the far too many dumbasses in Murrica.

He tried to pretend he was eating throughout the day, but brietbart and drudge swore to me through their "reporting", that he was only pretending to eat and what he was really inserting his mouth were Hillary's destroyed emails. In turn, he's hiding two things from us. Being a muslim and hillary's emails.
That tricky guy
That poor dude has to fast with our without Ramadan. Michelle limits him to a bowl of quinoa and few vegetables from the White House garden at approximately 8:46 pm every night.

I did not know that his biological father abandoned him before he was born. Very sad.

Okay, that is fricking adorable.
It is. His face shape is just like his moms. I wonder why he does not show more affinity/interest in both of his heritages. That has always made me curious - not critical - just curious.
Speaking as someone else who is also mixed (but a different mix), you will always be judged. It's a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" thing, where people will accuse you of rejecting one side. And people will also lump you more into one side *for* you, whether you like it or not. Sometimes you just relate more to certain sides as well.
I loved being mixed, but other people are never happy with how one individually connects to their different sides.
This reminds me. I had a colleague who was mixed African American and Korean. She had very dark skin and Afro hair, almond eyes. She was very in touch with her Korean side of herself and her family, because as she explained it, they were a very loving set of uncles, aunts, and cousins. She found it very painful as a kid, however, that others outside of her family--including other Koreans--did not see her as Korean or even "half Korean." She was proud of her African American (father's) side, too, and felt especially close to her dad. As she put it, something like, she loved collard greens AND kimchi. But most people saw her skin and hair and afforded her only one identity.

Henchmen?
"Henchmen" is unacceptably sexist. I prefer the non-gender-specific "henchers," or even better, the people-first term "persons of hench."
