I've always held that the jihadist muzzies were mostly a lot of ideological fascists besides coming from primitive cultures.

I've changed my mind - these guys are mentally ill.

Don't confuse culture with religion. The culture of this village is bizarre beyond belief, but there's nothing in the Islamic religion that says that wives cannot show their faces to their husbands.

True enough, but the religion still fostered the culture of the village in ways that would not have been possible in a Judeo-Christian culture. Culture tends to magnify or diminish the underlying principles of the bedrock faith.

“find an alternative for oil and they are history”
-—yeah, but by that time they , with their unearned
petrodollars , may own half of the West, lock stock and barrel. Real Estate, Financial institutions, everything.
We have to see this, which is already much more than a trend, and indicate to them that WE hold the upper hand for the future, and that THEY will not be allowed to dominate US, on any level/ Unfortunately, all the noise buzzing in our ears from the cognitive dissonance of dealing with them/”not” dealing with them, since 9-11, indicates a very high degree of confusion that clouds our perception of just what our relationship with these “people” is. We should be clear, somehow, that we recognize their overall “strategy” for what it is: to make the West economically dependent on the Arab cultures who want to be “players” in this area. What a sickening mess this all is.

I went to the website and grabbed some of what I consider the best comments there. You're right - some are quite funny, but I found even more important comments:

Funny:

- A face only a mother could love

- With a face like this ... he will keep his promise and not remove her veil ever again!!! Hahahaha!

- Very weird. Imagine yourself shuffling around the house in a bag and a veil day and night for years, and your own husband and kids don't know what you look like?

- I'm going there and open a facey bar.

- ... a little extreme. I've always heard of guys saying they'd go out with her if she put a bag over her head...

- If this is not a hoax, we need to cease and desist with all thoughts of bombing these people back into the stone age...

Thought Provoking:

- shame on alarabiya.net, as news articles like this one present arabs to be not only close minded, but retarded as well, islam is a great religion, but people like that have set the worst example of Islam to the western world, the veil is a tradition used by arab bedouins in general, not by islam!!!!, and posting such news in english gives islam a bad name, but again, i wish this was the worst thing that was done in the name of Islam, as it isnt, oh and if you (alarabiya) have the tiniest drop of dignity, you would not post such news in english for the whole world to see as this only happens in very rare numbers, but then again, im not surprised to see such an article coming from Alarabiya!! and i wouldnt be surprised if you dont publish my comment as this website does not believe in freedom of speech, because this website is a tool to try and give the middle easterns a fake idea about the american so called “Democracy”

- mr. aDNAN, alarabiya made the right choice to post this news, she is highlighting the takhallouf and the illiteracy of alot of arabs. This explains all the perversion.

- HUMAN ignorances kick in i see... I never heard of this tradition but i respect it ... doesn't give you the right to disrespect them. I am sure she is a beautiful women or she may be prettier than any women God has ever created so it is not right to say she may be ugly or retard. Like she said marriage is about love and not faces or appears so you all need to learn the word RESPECT!

- ... shame that a dispute amongst people should be a topic for globalized superiority complexes to assert themsleves. We dont know much about the lead up to their wedding and the aggreements made at the time so why not leave them to get on with their lives. He really must love and respect her, to have apologized. ...

- I find it so amusing that the moslem commentators find that telling the truth about islam will give the rest of the world the wrong impression about islam. How about that? Perhaps truthful revelations of the koran, hadith and sira would be equally embarrasing to the islamic world because that would also give us kuffar a bad impression about islam. Do you think that 1400 years of jihad, murder,rape, slavery and terrorism just might also give people the wrong impression about islam? It is really amazing just how much that goes on in islam gives people the wrong impression. ...

Scary:

- ther are some people who misunderstand islam like that woman who should be put into prison for such a stupid crime

- Whoever is in charge of this website . The kufaar should not be able to post insults to Islam or muslims or arabs who are muslims. The language they use is filthy and there false doctrine of freedom of speech shouldnt be allowed to be exercised on this comment forum.

- This is what happens when the husband doesn't beat the wife for disobeying him. She was even bold to nominate one of her friends who doesn't observe this tradition as a possible new wife for him, saying this would be better than her showing her face.

Most insightful:

- This is the natural by-product of any religion that makes man responsible for part or all of his salvation. People become superstitiously dependent upon external appearances of obedience and clinically insane trying to keep all the regulations.

It wasn’t merely the fact that he lifted the veil that so upset her, it was the piercing blood-curdling shriek he emitted as he realized he’d been married to Helen Thomas all these years....

hmm, guess it's a good thing I did not add these to the mix:

-female-child-circumcising-
(actually it's far more like sexual mutilation-performed on young girls without any anesthesia. I really do not care to see any cartoon about this.)

or...

infidel-beheading
(well, since there are actual videos of this, is a cartoon even needed?)

and how about...

boy-buggering
(I don't think we need any cartoon for this-we wouldn't want you locked up on any charges of kiddie-porn.)

I suppose I could add the marriage of the cult's founder to a 6 year old who did wait until she was 9 to consummate said marriage. But any cartoon depicting this would be beyond tasteless.
