Madam Ruth Caesar

A female member of the Liberian parliament, Madam Ruth Caesar is calling on the Ministry of Justice and the Liberian National Police in collaboration with the International Police to arrest women who will expose their body in public.
Representative Caesar who chairs the NTLA Committee on Gender Equity, Women and Child Development said any woman caught in such practice “must be arrested and dealt with in keeping with the Act on Indecent6 Exposure”.
Speaking at a news conference recently, the NTLA member disclosed that her committee and the Police are working together to ensure that the Act on Indecent Exposure is scrupulously implemented to the letter.
According to Representative Caesar the enforcement of the Act followed discussions held months ago between her committee and authorities at the Justice Ministry.
Since the outbreak of the Liberian civil war, young women are noted of exposing their body to the public to entice men, while some older women have also followed suite in their drive to have their aims accomplish.
“We will not allow this ugly act on the part of our women to continue, we will deal with them at all cost”, an official at the Justice Ministry told our Monrovia Correspondent.
Good idea!! I hereby volunteer to house these women and question them at length in an attempt to find out why the resort to such disgusting behavior.
Really. That would NEVER happen in America! (smirk)
I've never heard the word "religion" in connection with Liberia's civil war. It has always been food riots, returned American slaves vs. indigenous natives, Charles Taylor the troublemaker, or some other angle. I believe the religions there are Christianity, Islam, and animism, but I don't know the proportions.
Is this an Islamic matter, improperly reported?
I take it that Ms. Caesar, who is the head of "the Committee on Gender Equity, Women, and Child Development," represents some sort of response to the gender benders and feminists at the UN and in Europe, but that she is not wholeheartedly fulfilling her designated role. They had to form some such committee in order to qualify for politically correct aid from the moneyed countries, I imagine. I wonder what her story is. And her religion.
I wonder where Liberia falls in the spectrum of what is considered "indecent." There is quite a range from St. Tropez to Saudi Arabia as to how much skin can be shown and still be acceptable.
No, I take it back. Islam seems to be a very small minority in Liberia at the moment.

I would also issue this order, if I was King of Liberia.
Then I'd have them all come before me.
I THINK that this is S.O.P. for Liberian politics.
Doesn't matter what the religion is. It's all about power (money, stuff, status, stuff).
You nailed it, however obliquely. :o)
"Madam Ruth Caesar"
One of the "older women [who] have also followed suite in their drive to have their aims accomplish[ed]?
Ummmm ... better restrict it to the "ladies" under 18 years old. Ever seen what a 30-year old African lady looks like after a lifetime of hard work in the field and a number of children?
No but I guess you have. Hmmmmm.
Ouch! That hurt! Cheap shot! I only happened to "see" those National Geographic pictures while reading the articles.
Oh sure. I'll bet you buy Playboy magazine because of the articles also.
