Niqab? Bikini? You make the call.




Remember how old dirty tramp face, Ayman was kicking it on the Youtube the other day exhorting all good Muslimas to use the veil as a weapon?

Well here's a sister who threw off her bikini and traded it for a niqab. Meet Sara Bokker.

"I am an American woman who was born in the midst of America’s “Heartland.” I grew up, just like any other girl, being fixated with the glamour of life in “the big city.” Eventually, I moved to Florida and on to South Beach of Miami, a hotspot for those seeking the “glamorous life.” Naturally, I did what most average Western girls do. I focused on my appearance and appeal, basing my self-worth on how much attention I got from others. I worked out religiously and became a personal trainer, acquired an upscale waterfront residence, became a regular “exhibiting” beach-goer and was able to attain a “living-in-style” kind of life."

Until she entered the Valley of the Dolls:

"I sought refuge in escapes from alcohol and parties to meditation, activism, and alternative religions, only to have the little gap widen to what seemed like a valley."

You can guess what happened next. (Ed. Hint: A muslim man was involved!)

I'm telling ya - You can't make this stuff up. Read it all here.

Have a peek at Sara's bio. C'mon you know you want to:

Sara Bokker is a former actress, model, fitness instructor, and activist. Currently, Sara is director of communications at The March for Justice, a cofounder of The Global Sisters Network, and producer of the infamous Shock & Awe Gallery©. Sara may be reached at srae@marchforjustice.com.

(Ed. Note: If you want to see Sara's true inner beauty, go to the March of Justice site and visit the Shock and Awe gallery. (Warning: I refuse to link because of the extremely violent, graphic, dehumanizing, and exploitative nature of the subject matter. Don't say you weren't warned. - Dinah)

Still haven't tossed your cookies, yet? Up for seeing Sara in her bikini? Get your one and only chance to see Sara pre-Niqab in her role as "dancer" here.


I think that Ayman's calling the veil a weapon means that it should be banned in the United States. You don't see Ku Klux Klanners walking around the streets wearing their hoods, do you? You shouldn't see Muslimas strutting around in their get-ups, either. For real.
