Islam in Europe: Denmark: Danish-Muslim fashion house

This article is interesting because of the attempt to produce a form of Western Islamic garb. The efforts of this fashion designer are hardly unique.

AZRA AKŠAMIJA

is an Austrian artist and architect based in Cambridge, USA. Since fall 2004 she has been affiliated with Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Architecture (History Theory and Criticism Section / Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture) and as a Graduate Affiliate at the Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS).

Azra has been developing hybrid designs for several years.

These include the Dirndlmoschee, which can be seen here as well as a Judeo-Islamic frontier vest, which can potentially serve religious needs of both Jewish and Muslims and which can be seen here.

Note the ease with which the latter design accommodates both Jewish and Muslim motifs. Azra's efforts contrast strongly with the efforts of Zionist Jewish extremists like Daniel Pipes, Charles Jacobs, and Aish haTorah to demonize and to marginalize Muslims in Western societies.

The Jewish Zionist Islamophobes use traditional anti-Semitic arguments and depend on the public's ignorance of the general similarity of Jewish and Islamic practices.

Islamic hijabs generally hardly differ at all from Jewish stirntikhlakh (headscarves) as the blogentry The Oppression of Orthodox Jewish Women :-) indicates. Sphere: Related Content
