Air France stewardesses, furious at being ordered to wear headscarves in Tehran, say they will refuse to fly to the Iranian capital when the airline resumes the service later this month.

Female members of flight crews have been ordered to cover their hair once they disembark in Tehran and unions are demanding that the flights be made voluntary for women.

It's a small step in the right direction. But it's pathetic that the boldest defenders of Western values in Europe happen to be airline stewardesses.

The French will cede no more power to the barbarians on the left. Bo is the Muslim faggot that is giving the Iranians nukes.

Why is everyone so willing to bow and kiss the asses of the Muslims? I just don’t “get that”.

The male flight attendants that would replace the females on these flights could be in more danger than the females. Iran takes a much dimmer view of the life styles of some of the males.

Because they are scared of them. Look who the left kowtows to, muslims and black militants, both of which are violent.

Yet, they have no time going after gun owners, because up until this point they have been peaceful.

When Air Force retired Colonel (who is now a GOP Congresswoman) Martha McSally was a field grade officer, the DoD forced her and other females in theater to wear the full Muslim abaya.

When McSally protested, saying she was a Christian and not a Muslim, the DoD tried to ruin her career. She was forced to sue.

McSally was an A-10 pilot, and a good one. I met on one occasion. She had the courage to stand up to Islamic fascism then, before anyone even knew the term existed. She also had to fight her own PC government.

Western business leaders are flocking to Iran, because they want a share of the $150 Billion that Obama just gave Iran.

I am not joking. It is true.

Do not forget that the French nourished Ayatollah Humani and promoted the revolution against the Shah. France promoted the treaty Obama is given credit for to resume the trade with Iran.

In reality by supporting Iran in a big way, France supports the terrorism.

The globalists are using the goat herders as their fodder for their new world order. The idea is the west must die. Pretty obvious to me. Note how the traitors in DC are pushing it.

“Why would anyone want to fly to Tehran?”

Answer: $$$$$. Thanks to Bammie, the mullahs now have serious coin to lay around.

You're right. Females without headscarves get arrested. But homosexuals get stoned, flung off roofs, etc. And yet the libs just can't resist making excuses for the Islamists.

Back when the Islamists first gained power, I wondered who would the libs support, the Islamists or their victims. After all, the victims of Islam are primarily women, gays, powerless poor people, etc.

It is now clear that - Bill Maher excepted - the libs have decided to support the Islamists, and ignore their many victims.

How did that turn out? Did female U.S. personnel end up having to wear that abominable gear, or was the order rescinded?

And I'm guessing this started during the Bush II years. Correct?

Martha McSally....liberty score F on Conservative Review. But kudos for sticking up to the pussified DOD.

On a second note... Do the homosexual stewards refuse to fly to Iran?

I remember an interview with some Iranian official shortly after the arms, etc. embargo went into effect. The presstitute asked the officiall how they intended to get spare parts for their US made jet fighters. With a smirk on his face, his reply was, “We will get them. After all, we are dealing with American businessmen here.”
