Pop star Prince says Islamic women love wearing burqas

Prince, the Grammy Award-winning artist behind “Purple Rain,” told the Guardian in an interview that women forced to wear burqas in Islamic countries are “happy” to wear them.

“It’s fun being in Islamic countries, to know there’s only one religion,” Prince told the British newspaper. “There’s order. You wear a burqa. There’s no choice. People are happy with that.” (Burqa bans grow fashionable in Europe)

The Guardian pointed out that perhaps not every woman forced to wear a burqa is thrilled with the idea. The singer acknowledged: “There are people who are unhappy with everything. There’s a dark side to everything.”

My husband saw a woman in Houston yesterday wearing a full black burka. I know that it gets hot in Saudi and over there but it is desert and the humidity is low. the temperature in Houston yesterday was near 100 and the humidity was not too far behind. I wonder how she likes it now?

The wisdom of “Prince” knows no bounds...

...and no starting point, either.

[NormsRevenge]

There’s a dark side to everything.

Yes, there is.

Is he a Muslim?

[READINABLUESTATE]

“Is he a Muslim?”

He is a North Minneapolis punk.

He is an idiot.
When I would fly from the Middle East to London (British Airways) why did many take off their Burkas as soon as we were in the air? If they had money their cloths beneath the Burka could be high dollar cloths they buy in London.

Also, the men would start ordering the booze once in the air. However, not many of the women would drink alcohol.

There’s order. You wear a burqa. There’s no choice. People are happy with that.

Yeah, women just adore having no choices. It's part of their genetic make-up, don'cha know.

Do I really need to close my tag?

I’ve never understood how anybody could consider the chirping and grinding this androgynous little twerp produces music.

[chickenlips]

Last I heard he was a Jehovah’s Witness. Seriously.

Prince is looking at this from the wrong side of the burka. Let’s make him wear one for a while in the desert then ask him what he thinks about it.

I know that it gets hot in Saudi and over there but it is desert and the humidity is low.

In many parts of Saudi the humidity is extremely high, higher than anywhere in the US, at least for part of the year. Despite it being desert.

[FourPeas]

Big, loose-fitting clothing is actually quite well-suited to desert wear. It creates a layer of insulated air that allows sweat to more effectively cook the body, and protects from sunburn.

One thing I appreciated about Prince is he steered clear of social/political commentary.... until now.

Ya stepped in it, purple boy.

She wore a raspberry hijab
The kind you find in the Mecca Bazaar

Raspberry Hijab
It was a hundred and four
And she was wearing much more

Raspberry Hijab
I think I love all four of you
....and those goats

[ScottinVA]

I heard eunuchs are happy too Prince.
One less thing to worry about.

Pardon my French...but who the f**k CARES what that purple-wearing, crossing little faggot from Minneapolis has to say about anything????

Sorry if I offended anyone. :)

[Buckeye McFrog]

Al Franken
Mark Dayton
Jesse Ventura
and the Islamist formerly known as Prince

Must be something in the waters of Lake Minnetonka...

[reagan_fanatic]

I would ask Prince to get down off his soap box, but that’s the only way he can reach the microphone.
