Catholics should be force fed meat on Friday's?

Catholics need only avoid meat on Fridays during Lent. Also, such dietary restrictions do not apply to those who are ill, young, or elderly. So eating meat while in the hospital would not be a problem.

You can tell by their high level of civilization that the most important rule of God is cover your hair. NOT

[takenoprisoner]

looks like the klan just changed their colors

[The Great RJ]

I thought good Muslims didn't let anyone see their women naked and probably not their husbands either. Besides women are only chatel and are not deserving of medical care..save that for the goats.

Maybe they should take medicine to make their hair fall out, since Allah made a mistake giving them beautiful hair. Then they wouldn't have to wear a cover.

[Boazo]

Great, a new hag bag.

[ClaireSolt]

Patent that idea.

[aculeus]

Oh, this is good. Let's cater to the backward SOBs. Make 'em feel special, as if their primitive beliefs deserve our respect.

I await the backlash, when these women are ridiculed by, for example, having "Slave!" yelled at them whenever they appear in public in these asinine outfits.

Men's Room and Dalek's Room ???

On the other hand, when it comes to Muzzies. . . it may be time to EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!! (grin)

What is funny about this is that the full covering is considered for going out in public. A hospital is not a public place. You have a room. Family comes to visit, no strangers. Immediate family is allowed to see the hair and face, and arms and legs. I have a feeling that the crank who came up with this idea thinks that women who practice this cover up 24x7 and in the home, and even shower with them on. Probably such women would laugh at the idea of using these in an hospital. Other freepers be aware that not all the women who dress this way wish to. I am told saudis flying out of their airspace, once the airplane crosses into the airspace of another country or the sea, the veils come off and they start mixing drinks. Appeasement is a very bad idea, it only encourages them. They should only be encouraged to leave if they don't like the way things are done in America. The same should apply to legal immigrants from the South who don't want to learn English. Having to deal with them at all is ultimately going to turn us into tyrants as we will have to be anti-tyrant-tyrants. We will have to adopt the attitude of "no you must submit to our authority," as an antidote to their "you must submit to our authority." Maybe we should anyway. Have we been too nice?

True, a hospital is not a public place but Islam dictates that when a woman is outside her home, she must be covered and not alone with anyone of the opposite sex outside her family. There are exceptions for doctor examinations etc. However when she is outside her home, including in the hospital, she is obliged to be Hefty-bagged.

Actually the lawyers will love this. Despite identification armbands, the lack of facial recognition will undoubtedly add to a few more incidents of medication errors.

[Dustbunny]

If Muslim women need to wear clothing that completely hides every portion of their body except their eyes, they need to move to a Muslim nation that demands that life style.

Such garb could hide a murdering terrorist with a bomb belt.

Never trust anyone that hides their face.

The problem with hospital gowns is the back, not the front. Lets see a picture of the back!!

[Philistone]

ROTFLMAO!

Great one!

Catholics need only avoid meat on Fridays during Lent.

Wrong. Although many poorly catechised Catholics believe that to be the case.

Can. 1250 The penitential days and times in the universal Church are every Friday of the whole year and the season of Lent.

Can. 1251 Abstinence from meat, or from some other food as determined by the Episcopal Conference, is to be observed on all Fridays, unless a solemnity should fall on a Friday. Abstinence and fasting are to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

Can. 1252 The law of abstinence binds those who have completed their fourteenth year. The law of fasting binds those who have attained their majority, until the beginning of their sixtieth year. Pastors of souls and parents are to ensure that even those who by reason of their age are not bound by the law of fasting and abstinence, are taught the true meaning of penance.

Can. 1253 The conference of bishops can determine more precisely the observance of fast and abstinence as well as substitute other forms of penance, especially works of charity and exercises of piety, in whole or in part, for abstinence and fast.

Just imagine what that get up would look like if it were white.....

[DManA]

In what way is this 'Inter-Faith'? Does he mean non Muslim women should be forced to wear it too?
