To me, the most gut-wrenching thing Obama has said, and recently reiterated, is that Muslim women have the right to cover themselves in the burqa or nigab in America. Praise God for Sarkozy who will institute a total ban in France if he is successful.

I think Islam is a cult and I think Obama is a destructive socialist, that being said, why isn't what Sarkozy is thinking of instituting an infringement of liberty and freedom of religion? How about a nun in a full habit or a jewish woman who wears a wig?

“Muslim women have *** the right **** to cover themselves in the burqa or nigab in America.”

I can’t stand obama, but there is a difference between having ***the right*** to cover yourself in a shroud and being FORCED or THREATENED to cover yourself.

Question #1: Devout muslim women cover themselves because?
A. Fear
B. Tradition
C. Fear
D. Fashionable (I think NOT)

Question #2: Do muslim women really have a choice in the matter?

Question #3: Does living in America make a muslim less muslimic than living in the middle east?

Answer to 1, 2 and 3 (please correct me if I’m wrong): Muslim women HAVE NO CHOICE in the matter, have NO RIGHTS. Therefore Obama-lama’s statement is a moot point. You’re either a muslim or you’re not. No half & half. You want rights? Don’t be a muslim female.

Nuns’ habits ... Jewish ladies with wigs ...

We see a lot of peeps in prayer coverings here, as well.

However, none of these cover the face. Someone else said that if a woman’s face is covered, it takes away her identity, and hides injuries from abuse.

ONe of those head to toe deals with a netting-covered peep hole would be an abuser’s best friend.
