    • nice story too bad Tamkanat Naveed is a liar. she does not cover and she does not dress islamicaly unless she needs to go to to places where people thinks she does. All in all she is a hypocrite and I think she should be removed from your website because it is not fair to all the girls that do dress in the appropriate manner. she does not represent us.

    • Its only because they are in America and not their native countries that they are able to do what they are doing If they were out in public the way they dress here, someone would put them in prison at the kindest.

    • its interesting because I know where Tam Naveed works now! Oh by the way everyone Tam thinks she looks like Angelina Jolie. And its surprising that a person who has been wearing the same damn boots for ten years and got in trouble for trying to pass a Tibetan hat off as proper Islamic head wear is writing for a fashion magazine. Seriously? Now Tahmina knew how to dress, you all should get some advice from her.....she was breathtakingly beautiful everyday. She made outfits out western wear that where simple, sophisticated, smart and ideal.

    • i love that there is someone who is reaching out to the muslim women as well as muslim women reaching out to other americans...who are misinformed.

      no matter religion or race, all women need to be empowered and encouraged to be all they were meant to. this is awesome.

    • I can understand what they are trying to do, but will it be long before we see Christian Girl, Buddhist Girl, Scientology Girl or Hindu Girl?

    • thanks for posting this, it's a very REAL and positive alternative to the magazines out there that promote an ideology of ignorance and sexism. kudos to the magazine for giving girls a voice for empowerment.

    • These girls didn't seem like the average every day girl off the street. I am glad that they have "role models" but they also need just every day people like themselves if the magazine is to promote a true positive self image.

      I did like some of the style shoots. I liked it because they showed how they can be creative, yet obey the laws of dress that they must. Now that is something that a magazine should have it it.

      Today's girl needs a variety of "looks" and style. Generations before may have been fine with a general "blobular" look, but I think now they want more individuality, not to be sexy symbols but to be themselves.

    • huh!? Magazines even in the US are FAKE! Fake women, fake materialism, Fake people winning and showing fake money!

      A Muslim Magazine, is FAKE! If the beauty is for the man only, why "show it" to eveyone else!? it is obviously fake!

      This is only a FAKE wall in front of the real and wrong Muslims.

    • We need a magazine like this. I don't think I have to tell you that stereotypes and prejudice toward those of Muslim faith is a significant problem in the U.S. right now. I only hope this will reach the ignorant rednecks.

    • OK JohnA what you wrote is so incredibly insulting and wrong on many levels.

      First of all this magazine is not for you to jack off to or something...its for teen age girls. I hope youre not going around reading Seventeen magazine or anything like that because then you are more disturbed than I thought.

      Secondly just because something doesnt fit your archaic western definition of beauty doesnt mean its not beautiful or interesting. Open up your eyes, your heart and your mind...theres a big world out there beyond your little bubble.

      Great piece Lauren_D....wonderful to see media embracing the beauty and strength of Muslim women.

    • I think it is terrific that they are breaking down stereotypes and helping people understand the culture. However, I still think that the core issue is not in the US or Canada but the countries outside the US that subjugate women and force them to be second class citizens. This is where the stereotypes are perpetuated.

    • Really fabulous story! Anybody interested in this subject should also check out "Persepolis" a graphic novel (and film) about an Iranian girl, created by Marjane Satrapi.

    • I love this because it shows that you can be who you are and be successful and to heck with stereotypes and what people 'think' you should be. People who 'fit in' are so boring.
