A letter signed by the Mahdi Army linked to Moqtada al-Sadr, the radical Iraqi Shiite cleric who the United States considers the greatest threat to security in Iraq, warned Christian women in Baghdad to wear the veil as do Muslim women. It is the latest in a long string of abuses against Iraqi Christians, including rape, murder, kidnapping, extortion and forced conversions, AsiaNews reported Wednesday.
The letter, an English translation of which was published by Aina news agency Wednesday, said "Was the Virgin Mary (peace be upon her) unveiled so that Christian women be allowed to be unveiled? Was Fatima al-Zahra unveiled? And were the wives of the Caliphs in the First Caliphate or others unveiled? No, and then no ... Allah forbid and far be it from all of them." It then warns "She is an adulteress, and she even proclaims sinfulness, challenges and fights Allah and his Prophet and ignores and neglects religion."
Answering the question "What measure should be taken against a woman who disobeys her father, husband, or her guardian by not committing to the legal veil?" the letter said husbands and fathers "must guide and educate her religiously in order to convince her. If she is not convinced still, then they must imprison her at home and do not expose her to the forbidden interaction with men." Finally, it warns "special committees have been established to follow up on this matter."

And then hell no!...most likely because they were butt-ugly.
Oh...I have blasphemed and I can't stop.
CAIR!...I need another koran...I'm out of pages on the last one you sent me.
Do you have one with softer pages?
“Special committees” ??? So THAT’S what they’re calling their groups of car bombers and acid sprayers.
BTTT
I'll be needing a few of those, too.
You better but a veil ping!
I will take great pleasure in defying that fat boy loser. Wo, by the way, holds no public position of authority in Iraq. No veil for this Christian and Mookie can stuff it. ;-)
The man who would allow illegal invaders from Mexico should grant immediate refugee status to any non-Mulsim from an Islamic Shiekdom who wishes to emigrate here.
The Bush Administration should be pressured on this subject.
I think Mookie needs to be wearing a shroud.
Moqtada al-Sadr, the radical Iraqi Shiite cleric should be pushing up daisies, not pushing a pen.
Who could have been dead long ago, but for some strange reason has been allowed to continue on with his Iranian funded terrorist ways...
At least he is consistant with all the other Islamic crsades going on around the world slaughtering Christians, which seems to coincide with the goals of the UN to do the same, which is why they say nothing about it, even going as far as to say, "genocide? what genocide? I don't see any genocide.." (Koffee Annan-2006)
Lovely.
Good Afternoon Allegra.
Be careful when going out on the streets.
The Bush Administration should be Ashamed of themselves and their Arrogant abuse of office and Betrayal of the American People.
By the way ,No Muslim should be allowed to immigrate to this Country, they Defile our Laws , People and way of Life,not to mention they worship Death.
P.S. I voted for George II twice, Aggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!
While I'm sure a march in Sweden will make those in Sweden feel better..there's only one real simple solution.
A infantry "grunt" and one bullet! Then roll the body over into a sewer.
Turn the boys loose fight this like a war.
For the life of me, I can't imagine why any intelligent conservative still believes there is any rationalization for this U.S. military campaign over there.
