#2 I wonder if her submissions to the court are worth half those of male lawyers.

#3 I feel more confident in my hijab (veil). I am a progressive Muslim woman who has the courage to follow her faith while living and working in this conservative society.... hijab reflects a womans modesty, she said.

She doesn't feel "more confident", she's feels safer. Terrified of what the "conservative" mad mullahs and their followers might do to her should she be caught outside the home without her body bag.

"a progressive Muslim who has the courage to follow her faith.."

Let's sit down and discuss this over a cup of coffee and a muffin. Oh, can't eat or drink while wearing that, huh? How progressive. Can't see you, can't hear you, don't know who you are. Your body bag tells us you have no claim to any identity of your own. Simply the trappings of someone's property. There is no courage in wearing the veil - courage would be walking freely in society and partaking in open relations with other humans. It's fear, baby.

"... hijab reflects a wonmen's modesty."

No, it doesn't. The black body bag doesn't reflect anything. It's a black hole sucking all light and freedom. It reflects, if anything, your master's belief that you don't exist as a real person. It empahsizes your status as "meat."

Today is spaghetti day in the Court's cafeteria. Enjoy lunch.

#4 There was a famous Russian Admiral who mumbled so terribly that he was promoted to commander over their entire navy, because if he ever said anything wrong or controversial, he could claim that he had been mis-heard. Every competitor had fallen away due to having said something inappropriate to somebody, sometime.
