That's a bit presumptuous.
How do you know we're not lesbian Muslims?

Just a wild guess Proxy. :P

@CONSTANCE - I think YOU need to read more!

Women only wear a burqa when they go out in public,(usually) not in their own homes/yards etc. So, they have plenty of opportunity to have sufficient access to the sun - only about 30 mins per day I understand, and preferably not in the hottest part of the day - or one could end up with skin cancer also! (This apparently is becoming more common with young people). A few minutes in the sun pulling out the weeds or playing with the kids is sufficent to keep the vitamins up to a required level!In fact, if these women go out in the hottest part of the day wearing a burqa, they'll probably protect their skin!

Even people with olive skin can end up with a melanoma! Depends on whether exposure has caused the cells to 'play up'?

Miz45,

You are pulling your 'facts' out of the air. See here,

"In a cohort of "healthy" Muslim women living in an urban Sydney community, we found severe vitamin D deficiency in 68%, hyperparathyroidism in 38.6% and high bone turnover in 46%."

Liz45,

Sorry, the typo 'Miz' was accidental.
