Jamal In A Burqa


As best as I can tell, though I must admit I am deficient in the nuances of Islamofascist culture, Jamal would like to wear a burqa and serve us beer, while we watch the NBA on TNT over at Joe Citizen's house this Thursday night. (Read the comments thread.)

Baron, you bring the pretzels. Joe C. says he'll have the Pork Rinds at the ready. Anti-Jihadist, you're in charge of the sushi platter. Fu2rman, you take care of the Carlsberg and Danish Cookies.

Everybody stop by, Jamal promises to be a good sport about the whole thing.

Can i bring pork rinds instead, pastorius?

That sounds like a great idea, Joe C.

You know, I'll bet Jamal will look kind of cute, scooting around the room in a burqa with a trayful of beers.

What do you think?

Who's bringing the Carlsberg and danish cookies?

FLASH FROM DENMARK :

A poster advertising a new book, titled "What is Islam", has
been banned from Copenhagens busiest railway station in order to
"not stir up additional unrest".

The irony of this absurdity is that the author of named book, Mr.
Joergen Baek Simonsen
, is a well-known uber-dhimmi, frequently
appearing on national TV trying to convince the ignorant masses that
Islam is really a religion of peace, love and tolerance....

The publisher of Mr. Simonsen's book is a bit surprised:
"this book is certainly well-balanced and not offensive towards
Islam". Undoubtedly.

Now, instead of calming things down, the decision to ban the poster
is sure to restart the flame war between those in favor of
censorship and those not.

Is that an attempt at humour?

Or is it the case that you regularly tout for services from men dressed as women?

Either way, you're mistakenly directing your inclinations in this direction.

To clarify. I am not a woman, crossdresser, barperson or butler.

However, if you would like to instead have a Qur'an reading evening with halal refreshments only, then I would appreciate the invite, although I would decline and invite you to the local mosque instead.

I can email you the address.

I gotta admit Jamal, you have a good sense of humor.

To be clear, the point in my attempt at humor is not that I enjoy men dressed as women, it's just an expansion on the idea that if you want women to wear burqas, then maybe you ought to be willing to do the same.

Burqas are, in my opinion, dehumanizing, because they take away the face of a human being, rendering her a mere shroud. No longer do her facial expressions matter. She does not have the same ability to persuade others. She does not have the same ability to communcate.

This is not right.

In addition, as you know Jamal, women in many Islamic countries are not allowed to choose their education, nor whom they will marry, nor when to go outside.

This is slavery, my friend.

And, by the way, you didn't answer my original response to your comment. You said, no one should take away a woman's right to wear a burqa. I say, no man should ever be allowed to tell a woman to wear a burqa.

But, they do, don't they, Jamal?

Humour aside. I believe that women should dress in accordance with the religion they seek to adhere. This does not mean wearing a burka, but if they want to wear it then so be it. It is not for us to tell them to wear it, or to tell them not to, it is their choice.

I assume you do not tell nun not to wear habits, or brazilian chicks not to wear bikinia on the copacobana, or anyone else in the world wearing their respective religious, national, cultural or traditional dress. What about amish women or ghanaians with there heavy headwear?

On your other points, forcing women into marriage, to remain illiterate, or not to drive, etc is plain oppressive, no matter who recommends it. Islam does not oppress women in this way but we find that leaders of some Islamic countries do. They are distorting Islam and its teachings with these oppressive innovations. There is a line in the Quran which says there should be no compulsion in religion.

Though you are evidently a self confessed "Infidel", the above we are agreed on.

Pastorius said...

Good, my friend. I am glad we are in agreement. And, I am glad you have a sense of humor as well.

Now, here's the problem as I see it, Jamal. I believe there are some women who are coerced by their husbands and/or Imams to wear the burqa, when they do not at all want to do so.

Do you agree with me?

The problem, if this is true, is that we don't know which women are being coerced, and which women are freely choosing to wear the burqa.

How do we solve this problem?
