#1 It always raises my hackles

When people start talkin' 'bout "shackles"

In a country where no one can see

'Cept what you're willing to put up for free.

#2 Covered by cloth and more so by conviction
submission to Allah, they stand apart from the crowd. - cause your body odour's so bad with wearing that stuff on the tube in 40 degree heat that no one in their right mind would go near you.
they refuse to be objectified by man. - Oh, that'll be the female circumcision then... Sheesh.
Not slaves to the world of fashion - Nike do a range of swoosh emblazened Hajibs - quite funky - all the Somalis round me wear them.

Seriously? That's great. Totally subversive.

#4 No, really, they do.

#5 Nike? I would have thought the burkas would more likely have Coleman, North Face, Kelty, and REI logos.

#6 Apparently, Muslim men's sexual urges are more powerful than their devotion to Allah. The mere sight of flesh will dissolve their faith. How telling about both sexes in the religion. Women "covered with cloth" aren't the epitome of femininity; they're simply co-dependents to abnormal psyches.

#7 Where you been, Ed? The really cool burkas will be Sean John or Rocca Wear. Or maybe Baby Phat. Praise Allan.

#8 Oh and one more thing?

God I love good ol-fashioned, red blooded, American men for their REAL sexuality. Nothing, no one is their master.

#9 These lines should be added

And if we refuse to go along,
We'll be whipped with a spiked thong. . .

#10 Hey -- a spiked thong. Sounds kinky. A little painful to wear, but kinky. Praise Allan.

#11 So many ways to attack this idea, so little time.

1. Real women are secure in themselves without having to resort to any external crutch. What the f*ck does it matter what other people think of me? These women are free from the opinions of others? They dress the way they do because they are afraid of what other people think of them which neccesitates that they control everyones opinion of them by hiding away. Real women don't hide.

2. Real men can control themselves without any help from anyone else. If some men can do it then all men can do it if they only tried.

#12 Oh, so they're proud that they get to hide their faces, their bodies, their very identities, that they prove themselves to be *real* women by submitting to the words of men and the ancient dictations of an insane, warmongering pedophile? Well, whatever floats your boat, I guess . . .

#13 Hmmm....which lesser race (religion?) allows gay and lesbians as being legal or accepted ?...... Yep you guessed it ... JOOOOOooooos

#14 Oh, Faisal...you really don't have to be so afraid..no one can make you change your sexuality. Live and let live.

#15 The only "cloth" that epitomizes femininity is nice pair of snug-fitting jeans.

#17 What happens to a Islamacist when he sees a woman in tight jeans. . .

#18 So, guys, did any of you ever try the "thy hair is as a flock of goats" line on a girl when you were courting? How'd it work out?

#19 Angie - The person I know who tried something like that ended up looking like the President when he fell off of his bike Sunday.

#20 Angie - I was always told - don't buy the goat when you can get the Feta for free?

#21 I'm sure everybody knows how rabidly conservative I am but, I was just thinking . . . if you were a woman in an arab country, surrounding by all of those skanky, smelly, out-of-control, misogynistic, masochistic, maniac Islamic pseudo-men who deserve to die, you might wrap up and hide too. The little flowery poems they write are, simply, denial (as well as stupid). It so totally sucks to be them. Ish. And BTW, anyone ever see their "fashion" magazines? Talk about racy "veils" and such. Harem stuff . . . from the "good old days." What a kooky, schizo culture!

Note on the goat/hair compliment: When seen from a distance, I heard that when those huge flocks descended en masse from the mountains, it was pretty (okay, now stop all that laughing, you guys) --it looked like a shimmering waterfall. (Just a little cultural education tip from Ancient Israel studies at my state university.)

BigEd: Kill Shrek! Kill Shrek! He's SO DISGUSTING! Hollow-wood, poisoning our kids. All of the new feature cartoons are deconstructionist: the main characters, if heterosexual, are psychos and the gays are heroes. They can even make the animals look gay.

#22 except for that hot magazine cover pic of Lil Kim almost wearing her burqa. Pre-skank, of course

#23 ex-lib : Yeah, it's PC tripe, but the Puss-n-Boots Slurpee cups are hot items at the 7-11!

My comment referred to the fact that because of cultual insularity, many Muslims can't deal with the sight of an attractive woman in tight bluejeans.

#24 Bid Ed. I know that's what you were doing. I thought it was incredibly funny!! Thanks for your post #17. And to follow up: "many Muslims can't deal with the sight of an attractive woman in tight bluejeans" That's because they have to go home and change their trousers. So inconvienient! Poor babies.

I was just making the point if there's anything that might come close to being as disgusting and stupid as the Islamofascist male idiot, it's Shrek. When we see him on cereal boxes and stuff at the grocery store, we always have to control ourselves from engaging in all-out destruction on "aisle 12."

#25 Well, back in the early and mid 1800's men went bonkers over an exposed ankle.

#26 King Solomon, noted through the ages for his wisdom, could appreciate a comely pair of honkers. What's that say about the mental accuity of Muslim men who come down with the vapors at the sight of a woman's upper lip?
