Pictures of Muslims Wearing Things

Apartheid activist and researcher on Islam and HIV/AIDS, Farid Esack’s brilliant and charming smile makes up for this tucked-in, belted t-shirt blunder.

Marathon runner Janne Holmén wears the Muslim garb of the Finnish national track and field team.

Tariq Ramadan makes an important point about his oxford button-up.

Too many neutrals can wash you out, but that little red hat there that Vincent Cornell is wearing, somehow makes it all come together.

“Did you hear the one about the Bishop and the Shaykh?” Michael Mumisa in his “traditional Islamic garb,” a leading scholar and academic, with the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr. Rowan Williams (no relation to Juan Williams!) who is the head of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Hey! Look! The Archbishop looks scared! I guess Juan Williams was right… 

Timothy “TJ” Winter is wearing a black headwrap that is usually is worn for practical reasons like protecting the head and face from strong sun, heat, and sand storms. There’s not a lot of sand in Cambridge, UK, so I think he’s just looking for a reason to accessorize with his sleek black coat.

Sherman Jackson is seen here sporting a rather nice salt and pepper Muslim beard. He also appears to be wearing a look of dismay after seeing that one of his students used Wikipedia as a source in a term paper.

Leila Ahmed is positively pleasant in purple and pearls.

Scottish professor Amanullah De Sondy is wearing his traditional Scottish Muslim kilt.
