The point of the ghillie suit is to make a sniper disappear into his surroundings. The word ghillie is an old Scottish term for a special kind of game warden. Ghillies were tasked with protecting the game on their Lord's lands. From time to time, the ghillies would stalk the game by hiding in the grass and lying perfectly still. They would wait for unsuspecting deer to amble by and then leap out and grab it with their bare hands. Ghillies would then haul their prize back to the keep so the Lord could shoot it in the castle courtyard in a "mock hunt." Ghillie suits are basically old military uniforms that snipers modify for their special purpose. The belly of the uniform is reinforced with heavy canvas to help pad a sniper's torso during hours or days of lying on his stomach. Camouflage netting is attached to the uniform. This netting is used to attach shredded burlap and other frayed materials. Ghillie suits are usually painted to match the environment of the battlefield. Local elements like twigs, vines, and branches can be incorporated into the netting to further camouflage the ghillie suit. Nothing in nature has perfectly straight lines, so equipment like rifles and antennas often betray concealed positions. To counter this, snipers also make little ghillie suits for their rifles. Using the same principles of camouflage, snipers wrap their rifles in canvas and create little sleeves that make them blend into the environment. Soldiers are trained to keep their eyes peeled for strange things in their surroundings that could represent a threat. The human form is one of the most recognizable shapes in nature. Snipers, spotters, and trained observers all look for color and contour when trying to spot an enemy in the brush or other terrain. Ghillie suits help the sniper to break up his outline, hide straight lines in his gear and blend his overall color with the surroundings. "With a good ghillie suit," Army Ranger Sniper explains, "you could hide in a yard and people wouldn't be able to see you."

LUCKNOW, Dec 11: India’s Darul Uloom Deoband has issued an edict against dyeing hair black. In response to a question by some believers, the seminary said colouring hair black was not in accordance with Sharia, though one could apply a colour like henna. According to the seminary, Sharia prohibits use of such dyes that leave a layer on the hair as it obstructs water from reaching the roots of hair during ablution and makes it invalid. Answering the question if one could offer prayers (namaz) after applying colour on hair, the clerics said use of colour other than black was allowed provided it did not contain impure things and did not leave such layer on the hair that prevents water from reaching its roots. “Otherwise wuzu (ablution) shall not be valid and when wuzu is not right then namaz shall also not be valid,” they said. To a question about use of ammonia-free dyes, the seminary issued the fatwa that “if the hair get black with the use of that dye, then it shall not be lawful to apply it, but if the hair get red-like colour of henna then it is permissible”.
