See more at Daniel Pipes' article.  (And note that he shows a companion page with images of glamorous Muslim women who do not wear the hijab in public).

Sharia law by evolution, not be revolution, is the theme here.  I see the dhimmi attitude, or dhimmitude, written all over these women wearing the garb that is mandated by an oppressive worldview.  (A dhimmi is a "non-Muslim living with limited rights under Muslim rule."  Basically, it's the status what many appeasers in the Western world are seeking as they as confronted by Sharia law.  If Neville Chamberlain was alive today, he'd be a whole-hearted dhimmi.)
