What, nothing here from Ayaan? This’d be the perfect excuse to quote her.

Wearing a veil to look like a woman and kill someone is so Muslim. Screaming bloody murder over a piece of ham being put near you is so Muslim too.

Priorities? How about catching men in drag and smacking them with ham? Most of the Muslim women I’ve seen around could stand a veil, not to keep me from evil thoughts but helping me to keep down a BLT.

I hope France is successful.
And Germany.

I haven’t thought much of the French since World War I, but it sounds like they may just have grown a pair…

“France will be at the sides of the Libyan nurses locked up for eight years; France will not abandon Ingrid Betancourt; France will not abandon the women who are condemned to the burqa; France will not abandon the women who do not have liberty. France will be by the side of the oppressed of the world. This is the message of France; this is the identity of France; this is the history of France”
If this had been said by anyone other than Sarkozy, it would have been followed by…..” We surrender!!!”

Wild-guess exit question: Is she pro- or anti-veil?

You wouldn’t be asking if she wasn’t pro-veil. Follow-on wild-guess before I confirm I’m right – this dispatch comes to us from al-Reuters.

True, hence my thought. I’m not sunk so far into the pit of despair though that I don’t occaisionally wish I could see daylight.

I’m ashamed to say my first thought when I read that headline was ‘Were the women still wearing them?’

why? it’s what we’ve come to expect from these radicals
