It makes it much easier for someone to enter a place and blow it up, when they're completely covered. I thought the burqa was being banned for security reasons.

The "floor length denim" was an invention of the "hippy generation" of the 60s who was a product of the rebelious left. They also adopted the floor length "flowery dresses" calling them "granny gowns". Doesn't she even know where she came from? These people are just propaganda generators. They don't even understand themselves let alone everyone else. "Heck, I perceive the stereotypical conservative Christian floor-length denim or flowery dress the same way, so I get it."

One of the greatest shames in the existance of the family of man is the detestible treatment of women in the Muslim culture. There is no geting around it, no hiding it and only through leftist insanity can it be unseen.

Can anyone forget that women were beaten on the streets of Afghanistan by any Taliban man if her nails were painted or her high heel shoe was seen or made a noise under the oppresive burka. That women are owned and controlled by muslim men. There is nothing free about it and the women of Iran, threw them off until the shah was over thrown and they were forced once again to cover themselves. Nancy Pelosi also looked comfortable wearing her scarf when meeting with the terrorist Bashar Assad in syria! These women wouldn't understand the loss of freedom because they are progressive idiots who would trade freedom to let the government take care of us all! Very Good Article! Good pick for the award.

Slave rags are about taking pride in one's perpetual prostitute status. I see no inconsistency there. Women are objects to be sold and raped to both feminists and Mohammedans. It's really that simple. Of course Mohammedan women are by definition and without exception prostitutes under threat of death and have no choice in who their john will be, and that they acquire this status at one day old. That's feminism, baby! Feminists are pro-prostitution. Slave rags are about taking pride in one's perpetual prostitute status. I see no inconsistency there.
