SARAJEVO (Reuters) - Two armed men disguised as Muslim women in burqas held up a bank in Sarajevo and got away with some $40,000, Bosnian police said on Tuesday.

They said the pair entered a Union bank branch in the capital wearing head-to-toe black dresses and veils typical of women adhering to the orthodox Islamic code and trained guns on customers. They then made customers lie on the floor while the emptied the tills, police added.

"Everything happened in a moment. Two persons in black niqabs (burqas) came into the bank. I thought they were ladies," the Sarajevo daily Oslobodjenje quoted bank customer Mehmedalija Komarac as saying.

Women in burqas and men with long beards have become a common sight in the Bosnian capital in recent years.

Apparently people in burqas and beards are becoming more common too. Imagine: Muslim transvestite bars. How would you even know?

If burkas are outlawed, only terrorist will wear burkas...

I hate to suggest this...but this is probably Larry and Marvin from Iuka who traveled over for summer vacation and their luggage got swapped out with a couple of hot Islamic babes. I’m guessing there will be a couple of bank robberies like this...and then the cops shoot a Islamic gal or two by accident.

What was the outcome of the case in Florida, where a muzzie-bwitch demanded her drivers license photo be burka’d?

I bet it's happening everywhere.

It's probably what they're for.

Ever see any of them? There's a reason why the burkha was invented, you know.

Maulana Abdul Aziz captured wearing one of those black things while trying to sneak out of the Red Mosque in Pakistan. Now this. I’m sensing a pattern
or a latent desire to cross-dress.

Umm... you missed it:

2 armed men rob restaurant
Wednesday, June 13, 2007

WOODBURY HEIGHTS Armed with large semi-automatic pistols, two men covered head-to-toe in black burkas robbed the McDonald’s Restaurant Monday night.

The men entered the fast food restaurant on Route 45 at 9:22 p.m., brandishing pistols as they jumped the counter and demanded that the manager hand over the money, police said.

About four customers were in the McDonald’s at the time of the robbery. According to Woodbury Heights Police, numerous 911 calls were received reporting a robbery in progress.

One month ago, two men dressed in similar garb robbed a Glassboro jewelry store with a semi-automatic pistol.

Two men, one dressed in a black burka and another dressed as a construction worker, stole an unspecified amount of cash and jewelry before fleeing the scene, according to previous reports.

The two suspects in the Glassboro case have not been apprehended, explained Capt. Scott Oncay.

Woodbury Heights and Glassboro police departments are still investigating the respective robberies and were unable to say whether there was a link between the two.

The Niqab and Burqa as Security Threats [Weblog] - Daniel Pipes

Adrian Morgan did this huge four part series on Women under Islam:

Women under Islam: Behind the veil - Part 1 of 4
Back in the 1980s, few young Western Muslim women wore the Muslim headscarf, or hijab. In fact it was banned in some Muslim countries for teachers and those employed by the state.

Pakistan’s “Compensation Marriages”

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/index.php?id=1114170
Part Four of Four
Genital and other mutilation, beatings, isolation without sunlight, child and forced marriages, torture, murder, no education, no rights and, sadly, much more is the way of life for many women living under Islam. FSM Contributing Editor Adrian Morgan asks if there is any point in “negotiating” with those who harbor such belief systems.

A bit much, but I aim to educate. You have to know the enemy and how he thinks.
