Thanks for the plug. I hope it was worth your reading time. I will have to grab me one of those sarong thongs so I’m not freakin’ no one out behind me. Damn! Now I’m gonna be twice as self conscious when making salah.

As-Salaamu ‘alaikum,

I know. Actually the Arabs call them izars. In the west, the word sarong is associated with a wrap-around skirt worn by women, even though that type of sarong is only worn by men.
