Does Not Illustrate: Hiding In A Hijab

As the trope description and examples point out, this is about disguising in a face-concealing outfit. The title is a bit awkward here because a hijab usually isn't face-concealing, but that's be a job for TRS. The current image illustrates the title (by showing a spy-esque character in a hijab) but not the trope.

This is a better example (from Tintin) and I think we should pull the current regardless.

Given the description opens with the claim that this applies to all sorts of traditional Muslim/Middle Eastern head/body coverings as they all cover the wearer to some useful extent, I am inclined to think Tropes Are Flexible over "the trope is completely restricted to face concealing Muslim dress".

Current isn't great, but she looks more 'on the run' than the wearers in the OP, who could just be two randoms.

I like 2.1 too. In that image (and in the OP) the characters are hiding by putting on a hijab. In the current, the character is hiding in general (and just so happens to be wearing a hijab) so the replacements are stronger.

OP doesn't show enough of the reveal to me and I was having a hard time parsing 2.

Caption idea:

In hindsight, the burqa was not one of the Taliban's brightest ideas.

[up] I'd put "enforcement of" in there as it's not like the burqa was the Taliban's idea.

[up][up][up] Can we even comment on the Taliban or would that violate ROCEJ? Just wondering.
