I wonder what the equivalent would be in Arizona against illegal Mexicans.
A female lawyer allegedly ripped another woman’s burka off in a clothes shop – and told her to ‘clear off to your own country’.
The 26-year-old Muslim convert said the 60-year-old lawyer made ‘snide remarks’ about her Islamic veil. An argument followed during which the older woman is said to have ripped the veil off, before the Muslim woman allegedly punched her. Both women were arrested.
The row happened in Trignac, near Nantes, France, as the country prepares to introduce a ban on the burka.
A police officer said: ‘The lawyer said she was not happy seeing a fellow shopper wearing a veil and wanted the ban introduced as soon as possible.’
At one point the lawyer, who was out with her daughter, is said to have likened the Muslim woman to Belphegor – a horror demon character well known to French television viewers. The lawyer’s use of the name ‘Belphegor’ was particularly inflammatory, said police, because the demon was portrayed by classical writers as ‘Hell’s ambassador to France’.
How long before the lawyer is tracked down and killed by some poor offended Muslim?
“And Sarkozy is in charge now… dang”
Well said! From bad to worse!!
The outfits that some Arab women are forced to wear are embarrassing. I see them in L.A. They usually show their face. But the outfit is about as sexy as a burlap sack. They wear these neck-to-toe moo-moos, usually in some god-awful dishwater brown color.
I know… they are designed to prevent men from having lust in their hearts if they see the women. Well guess what? It works. They look about as attractive as pile of cow dung.
I fail to understand how any woman with an ounce of self esteem would allow herself to go out in public looking like that. Might as well were a dirty bathrobe, soiled slippers, and curlers in your hair when you go out shopping.
Sometimes I see them with their husbands or boyfriends. I can’t help but wonder WTF is going on in the man’s head. If my wife wanted to out for dinner dressed like that I would refuse.
And would these same women tolerate there husbands dressing like some street bum? Wouldn’t they be embarrassed? So why do they allow themselves to be treated that way?
I just don’t get it. But to each their own.
#32 Well ya know, it’s not just the Muslims. There are some Christian sects in the US (the Hard Shell Baptists come to mind, as well as the Amish and Mennonites) in which the women have to wear “modest” clothing. They apparently work on the belief that men have no self-control, and will attempt to copulate with any woman who shows any sign of, well, being a woman.
Like you said… to each their own.
#23 Sorry, that was referring to 23, not 32…
That way of doing things makes sense if you think of women strictly as property and not really as people. If one man leaves his property out unsupervised and unattended, it’s only natural in a dog-eat-dog primitive society that another man will try to take it.
I am divided on this.
Those garments are seriously offensive and should not be found in any civilised society.
But…
People should be free to make a choice about what they wear.
#24 “in which the women have to wear “modest” clothing.”
I consider it modest as long as it covers the ass crack and by that standard I see women out and about in immodest clothing.
As for burkas and veils, they are crazy. Muslim women in veils are already soft spoken due to male domination. It gets worse when they cover their face, especially if you rely on lip reading. If you refuse to interact in such a way that society can interact with you, don’t be surprised when people get angry at you.
Let’s just tear clothes off woman on the street. Much too modest.
Well, silly as the Burka is, it beats stretched polyester pants on a 400 pound Walmart Mama, and we have literally tons of those here in the USA, even in California!
I hate to say it, but I agree with Benji. If someone came into my shop dressed like that (or with their motorcycle helmet covering their face) I’d assume they are going to try to rob the place..or worse.
As for France…well the people there don’t smell much better than the average Muslim, so what’s the point?
People fight wars over the very thing Muslims are doing. Easy to “tolerate” when the numbers are small at one end, to you have lost your country at the other end.
We don’t know what attenuates a culture to meld but having dogma that states “Thou shalt never meld.” does not help the process.
some things are flour and water and make great cakes. Other things are oil and water and are better at totally other projects.
I see trouble in the future. You see it now with “disenfranchised”/stressed Muslims who have melded in various societies return to their roots, to retrograde under stress, to assume their original form under heat.
Religion.
That which cleaves man to god, separates him from his fellow man.
1. There is no such thing as a multi-cultural society. Its components are mostly language closely followed by religion–another language if you will.
Seriously–do small things that have tremendous down stream impacts. Start by “freeing” the women. Outlaw the burka. Strongly enforce illegal honor killing. THEN MAYBE Muslims in a free society can be free themselves.
Without it, conflict will ensue.
This story touches on yet another conservative hypocrisy.
Conservative LOVE to insult France yet they have exactly the same mindset as the French regarding immigration and national identity.
#30–correcting myself==”cleave” has such a nice ring to it, but is the opposite of what I meant.
#12–lynn==let it simmer on the stove for a while.
#23–yank==do you see this as a freedom of choice for the women or as being abused for so long they have internalized it? You don’t ask a hostage if everything is ok. You REMOVE THEM from the imprisonment, and then allow them to make a choice. Some are so damaged, they will return to the church.
#31–Greg==allow me to quibble. The French are much worse than the USA conservative. The French are caught on their values==much like the USA is right now and will be moreso in the future. Their liberal/socialist/colonial soul “encouraged” the minorities to come to France, but the body politic is more conservative than the ruling head. No assimilation. Without assimilation/meding there will be trouble==doesn’t matter what else is in play.
One way to inhibit assimilation: deny employment to people you aren’t comfortable with.
Another way to inhibit assimilation: wear a burka ((and all that goes with it.))
#21 – Well said.
There is an advantage to having a set “uniform”, or dress code: it reduces costs and simplifies the wardrobe. When I first started working, (mostly large firms), the dress code was always dark slacks, white shirt and tie. Two shirts, two pants, same tie – I was set for the week. Once the “business casual” thing started, gah – my clothing budget went gang-busters. And I don’t look better, but I’m more comfortable.
But I’m afraid that there are standards and limits, and covering the whole head, or wrapping towels around the head, or whatever, sorry, but there are limits.
The French are really hung up on how wonderful it is to be French. They are upset because they are starting to figure out that in a few more decades the majority of the population in France will be Muslims and French culture and values are going to die. They are going the way of the Neanderthal and they know it.
Re: #35 deowll said, “The French are really hung”
hmmh, I learn sumptin new every day.
French bumper sticker:
Burka. C’est tout l’engouement.
(Burka. It’s all the rage.)
What I take away from the links # 15 Ah_Yea provided is this: the French did it to themselves. What now? I have no idea. The only thing I can think of is a cartoon series (or sitcom filled with the usual cartoon characters) in which the slovenly, lazy, no-good character constantly (and I mean _constantly_) blames everything (and I mean _everything_) on the Jews, and give him an unusual name so you can easily call anyone complaining in any way about the Jews that name. Like maybe “Idiotte.”
“Bad weather today — damn Jews.”
“Idiotte!“
#7 Uncle Dave, maybe you aren’t such a Moron after all.

Such thing already exist in the US. It’s called South Park.
