Last night on the radio, I heard that there are only three countries in the world where the Muslim population exceeds 20% or more that are democracies.

We had to go to the Arab International Festival to perform Slovak Dance.

Burqas on the Ferris Wheel creep me out.

I went to Fairlane Mall on Sunday. Hijabis all over the place.

The niqabis creep me out, no matter what they are doing (there is no Ferris Wheel at Fairlane)

I cover my hair by wearing a hat—it’s way too hot for a wig. When I was at Fairlane, I got into the space of the hijabis and the niqabis and I “Jewed up” their air. I made them breathe Jew Air.

Kemel Arttuck (sp) knew to ban the burqa. We should do the same!

And BTW, come to Lakeside instead. We’ve got the Chaldeans here so no headscarves at all.
PM me and the girls and I will meet you there!

Fairlane has really gone down since Lord & Taylor closed and Ford laid off a whole bunch of people.

The only reason I go there, apart from the price of gas to drive all the way to Lakeside or 12 Oaks, is for the fun of faux “hate crimes.”

Uh oh. I’m in trouble. Is FR being monitored by CAIR?

Is “Jewing up” somebody’s air a hate crime?

Come and get me.

I am inclined to agree with Pipes on this: the Muslim womens’ garments more ‘modest’ than the hijab are security risks.

On the other hand, I am uncomfortable with the French ban on the hijab. Pious Orthodox Christian women wear head-scarves when at prayer, in accord with the Apostle Paul’s reversal of the Jewish men-pray-with-head-covered-women-don’t rule, and some particularly pious Orthodox women pray a lot. Indeed, I think it can be argued that this Muslim standard of female modesty represented by the hijab was copied from Orthodox practice in the time of Mohammed.

If society bans their head-scarves, next they’ll ban ours.

We are evangelical Christians, and my wife of 31 years wears a head covering full time. However, you can see her whole face and her eyes.

Our older daughters wear them, too, especially during church or at family devotions.

There should be no law against head scarves.

There should be laws banning the practice Islam, however.

It is a violent, veangeful, hateful death cult, a political movement disguised in the robes of “religion”, bent on world domination by force and subjugation and/or extermination of all those who will not comply.

Whenever you hear of a bombing, or a mass-murder, or a kidnapping, what is the first thought that pops into your mind? That it must be the Evangelicals/Mennonites/Hassidim/Amish???

I doubt it.
