thats not a regular bandana, its not even a bandana, the checkered red/white peice of cloth is called a 'ghutra' or 'shmagh', and its exclusive to countries of the Arabian Gulf

I've always asked myself actually, as these 'ghutras' come in different colours, i.e. red/white, black/white, blue/white or green/white, do these different colours also symbolize different meanings?

 

[illidurit]

the red one symbolizes the blood of your mother that got stoned to death for showing her face in public

 

[all_sins_undone]

lol

 

[affinityband]

i dont get it as far as i know.

 

[NFU]

in my opinion it was a very funny joke to be quite perfectly honest as far as i can tell.

 

[affinityband]

as far as i know, i havent the foggiest in what illiterate is saying in my completely honest opinion.

 

[metal_wrath]

m_w go shove a cactus up your ass

[illidurit]

*choo choo*

 

[NFU]

[belgarath68]

have you driven a fjord lately?

*said in French John Cleese accent* Oh yes, it's very nice.

Actually, that reminds me of Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy where Slarty Bartfast created the fjords of Norway.

well for the most part, we bahrainis usually stick to a plain white one

and saudis usually wear the red/white ones.

as for the black/white, green/white, grey/white....etc i dont know where they originated from, but i only seee them being used in Jordan and neighboring countries

and no these colors do not symbolize any different meanings, this garment, as someone pointed out, did originate centuries ago with the purpose of protection agaist sand, sun, cold...etc, but now its primary use is one of heritage fashion.

hope that answered your question

Psychotic Waltz -- Good luck finding their CDs. But, check out www.psychoticwaltz.com for samples. My friend used to be the drummer and owns a record store and he can't even get me copies of all their stuff. That same friend told me that Chuck Schuldiner, whom he toured with, said Psychotic was one of his favorite bands. How's that for praise!
