Talk:Types of hijab

message: It's a little odd that the photo in this article depicting a "burqa (1)" is exactly the same photo in the niqab article.  If burqa and niqab are overlapping terms, that should be explained; if not (and it's my very poor understanding that they are not), the same photo should not be used.  Someone with more expertise here, please clarify.  Thanks.  Theleek 21:56, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

message: 1. I welcome this topic. With my limited world experience and expertise, I have attempted to edit other isolated articles (especially the Afghan and pre-revolution-Bongldeish "Burka" and the Persian (Irani) "Chador"). However, we need a single place where the various Islamic styles and terminology are correctly clarified. 
Unfortunately it may be that world-wide, cultural terminology varies? Even Internet market-places seem to confuse terminology? 
2. The inclusion of male clothing here, (only when religiously influenced) is also good.
3. Question: I believe the (Arabic) term "hijab" is too limited for this entire inclusive topic? Would "Types of Islamic Clothing Style" be better?

message: The Eastern Arabia's women's striped facial niqab with a hidden wooden support over the nose bridge is called 'Batulah'. Upto the 1960's it was a common feature, since 1973's oil boom which trickled down since 1975, Batulah   has disappeared. Ilaila (talk) 08:51, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

message: The description in the "hijab" section is so uncharacteristic as compared to our descriptions of the other forms of "sartorial hijabs" that it stands out as an anomaly and needs seriously urgent editing. The present text we have is atrocious in its tone: 
“What does hijaab mean?” The most likely answers will vary from that of a woman wearing a head scarf, a veil or a loose outer garment. Hijaab, however, in the sense that it has been used in the Qur'an and Hadith, has a far wider meaning. Actually, hijaab is a set of laws governing the interaction between males and females, with rules that must be abided by both. In the minds of most people -even Arabs- that meaning has been lost due to forgetfulness or religious complacency. For the context of this article however, we will say, as most people do these days, that Hijab simply means a reference to the entire modest dress of the Muslim woman."  
This is such a disaster with a clear preaching tone as if taken from some Islamic pamphlet addressed to youth making general claims nothing to do with the actual head gear known as hijab. Just scrap the whole unfortunate text and replace with something in line with our other "hijab" descriptions on the page. werldwayd (talk) 20:42, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

text: I'll hang on to this to say that per this source used in hijab, the term apparently also specifically means head scarf. I've read it on a German news site, too, twice. Article needs to address ambiguity.--ze un fo un 09:05, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
