The following was written by Ms. Patricia Kennealy Morrison. What would we do without her?? Brilliant!!!
"We cannot accept to have in our country women who are prisoners behind netting, cut off from all social life, deprived of identity," Mr Sarkozy told the special session in Versailles.
"That is not the idea that the French republic has of women's dignity.
"The burqa is not a sign of religion, it is a sign of subservience. It will not be welcome on the territory of the French republic," the French president said.
Voila un vrai homme, et un brave aussi! Good for you, Sarko! It's about time someone took a firm stand against the creeping Islamization of the West.
Islamic clerics do not agree on the Koran-mandated necessity of the burqa or the niqab (a burqa is the full-length body covering with a mesh screen over the eyes, a niqab is the black full-length enveloping veil with slits for the eyes...), and even the hijab (scarf head covering) may not necessarily be required. All the Koran says is that both women AND men must clothe themselves modestly; that's it.
Muslim men require their women to cover themselves with sheets because they (the men) cannot master their own "impure" desires and thoughts, and so they insist that their women control their thoughts FOR them by removing the "temptation".
Hey, it's not the fault of women if Muslim men are a pack of juvenile lust-crazed horndogs who can't keep their minds out of their pants (or hers) every time they see a woman. How insulting is that, to both men AND women?
Grow up, guys, and join the 21st century. Show some REAL respect for women, because otherwise why should women show respect for you? Just because you have a dick? (Or ARE a dick?) Sorry, not good enough.
(I must add that Muslims are not alone in this regard: the other desert religions are equally offensive in their attitudes to women---Orthodox Jews thanking God they were not born women and shaving the heads of their wives, who then wear wigs, how nuts is that??, Christians subjugating women to all sorts of humiliation and denying them priesthood...you ALL SUCK, boys.)
It continually confounds me that Muslims move to the West for a "better life" or whatever the hell, presumably one involving more personal freedoms, and then they get their knickers in a twist because the West won't accommodate their medieval and inhumane culture. You can't have it both ways, people! YOU must accommodate yourselves and your beliefs to US and ours. Otherwise, go back to the desert and rot.
I believe with every fiber of my being that any so-called "religion" that allows women to be stoned to death for being out in public without a male companion, to be the victims of "honor" killings, to be kept illiterate and immured indoors, to be divorced at will, is no religion at all. And certainly not one that pleases Allah, or whoever.
That's not a religion. That's male medieval control freaks with their heads in an 8th-century tent and their souls stuffed up a camel's anus.
And if that sounds offensive, I mean it to.
An Iranian woman writer (exiled) pointed out the other day that it really didn't matter WHO was the president of Iran, because she would still be subject to all the anti-woman laws regardless of who was in office, that Mousavi was cut from the same bolt of "religious" cloth as Ahmadinejad. She could still be veiled, stoned, whipped, imprisoned, killed, kept from living a normal life, all in the name of Allah.
Well, I think Allah really hates this. At least, if he's a good god, he SHOULD hate it. And if he doesn't, what woman would want to worship him? I hope he strikes them down harshly, these sour-faced senile mullahs and all who cleave to them and their vile teachings.
In fact...wasn't Allah originally female? Al-Lat, the (female) Sun? A GODDESS??? One of three goddesses, IIRC? I do believe I read that somewhere. It's nice to think that perhaps SHE will finally take vengeance and obtain justice for Her murdered and mutilated daughters.
Insh'Allah, indeed.
