oh what a world

Dude. Seriously.

Idiocy

Further proof of the way in which some idiots feel about Muslims: this article. (Edit: I dunno if they took it down or what…? Re-edit: It’s back up.)

When Roman Catholic nuns wear the habit, that is fine. Why? Because their identity via face is known to whomever. When Amish dress in their style, that is fine. Why? Because their identity is visible.

When Muslim women cover themselves except for eye slits, that’s reprehensible. It simply cannot continue in a free country.

In “France, Turkey and Tunisia, students in state schools and female civil servants are banned from covering their hair. British Muslim women can wear the headscarf, and indeed the niqab, almost anywhere, for now.”

Hurrah for France, Turkey and Tunisia. Other parts of the planet take note and follow.

I’m sure he doesn’t realize his self-contradiction here: that women who show their face are “okay” — with the exception of Muslim women. Not surprising coming from where it does, but yet another proof of their bias and idiocy.

Update: Ah, I just HAD to register and post a comment there. I know these types are very sensitive to criticism so I don’t know what’ll happen next. blank
