Naomi Wolf is “simply appalled” at my “misrepresentation” of her disposition toward Muslim veiling on my recent NewsReal blog. She has asked my boss, David Horowitz, to “remove this falsehood from your site and correct the record.” She has also made similar demands of Phyllis Chesler, who has also touched on Wolf’s totalitarian odyssey in a recent Pajamas Media piece.
Wolf insists that she does not find the burqa “sexy” and that she does not wish to institutionalize it, even though her recent piece in the Sydney Morning Herald, is entitled Behind the Veil Lives a Thriving Muslim Sexuality and discusses how, upon her travels to Morocco, Jordan, and Egypt, she found a lot of hot sexuality going on because of the veil (i.e. marital sex is steamy when women cover up and show themselves only to their husbands, etc.).
There is something eerily pathological about Wolf’s pretension to have made some kind of amazing discovery in that she found human nature existent in the Muslim world. She finds sexuality – as if someone in the West, probably an evil Republican in Wolf’s imagination, believes that Muslim women are not interested in sex. The issue, of course, is not that anyone says people in the Muslim world do not enjoy sex, or yearn for sex. The issue is that women are not free to make their own choices without fear of punishment – an issue that a leftist like Wolf, unsurprisingly, typically and deliberately ignores.

As always with the Muslims, it’s that slavery thing.
And as always with the liberals, it’s that hypocrisy thing.
Yeah...I’m sure the sexy veiled babes of the Muslim World are just sexing it up!!! ;) /sarcasm
Miss Naomi for some unimaginable reason ignores the fact that the majority of women in some islamic countries have had the ability to enjoy sex surgically removed.
Naomi thinks in our culture, trying to teach young women sexual restraint is barbaric but she seems to have forgotten that sometimes in her wonderful foreign cultures that restraint comes at the edge of a knife. Either at the throat of a grown woman or the groin of an infant girl.
She can keep her sick mind and her multicultural moralism to herself.
The veil is to Islam, as the hood is to the KKK.
It has become a political symbol of radical Islam.
Having said that, this is a GREAT article. Thanks for posting.
Agreed that she is one lunatic, angry, empty headed, living in HR Puff-n-Stuff fantasy world,...but I’d still hit it.
I wonder if Naomi advised Al Gore to try on a burka?
Naomi Wolf isn’t she the one they found screaming in a fetal position about a year or so ago? Nuts for sure!
That is the witticism of the day on this subject. Well done!
