Swiss Foreign Minister Learns To Crawl Before Ahmad-in-jihad

“Its the custom” you see. And ‘customs must be respected’… What’s next? Sucking…?

* Its not only the deal that stinks: when others are pulling out the Swiss see an opportunity.
From Al Bebeeceera
Swiss Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey has been widely criticised for donning a white headscarf to meet Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Well-known for her stand on women’s rights, she has provoked headlines such as “Just like a submissive woman”.
Socialist MP Maria Roth-Bernasconi said it was irritating that she had angered feminists in Iran.
Ms Calmy-Rey said she was observing protocol. “When you are a guest you respect local customs,” she said.
* Great. When dealing with Cannibals you share a meal with them. When dealing with Nazi’s you help them shove a Jew in the oven…when dealing with Muhammedans you strap on ….. got it…!
Social Democrat MP Liliane Maury Pasquier accepted that customs had to be observed.
But she was quoted by one newspaper complaining that the minister should have shown solidarity with “the women who fight against wearing the headscarf”.
Gas controversy
The minister also prompted controversy by signing a multi-billion dollar natural gas deal. The United States had complained that Switzerland was sending the wrong message when Tehran was subject to UN sanctions.
Ms Calmy-Rey insisted the deal between Swiss company EGL and the National Iranian Gas Export company did not violate sanctions.
Swiss daily Le Matin said on Wednesday it was shocked that Switzerland’s “icon of a liberated woman” had been transformed into an image of one who was oppressed.
Its tone changed on Thursday, however, by acknowledging that the foreign minister had not really had much choice.
A source told the paper that, without wearing a headscarf, she probably would not have been able to have her meetings with the Iranian leadership.
* In that case, why send a female to deal with these mysogynists?

This is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening.
We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way...
But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it. If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted.
Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, write in English, try to tell the truth,
(we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it!
One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for
trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display.
But you won't be back, trust me on that.
Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

>>” ‘customs must be respected’
What about Moslem immigrants and visitors respecting the Western custom of shunning self-righteous displays of piety?
NO CHAPERONE? WHAT ABOUT RESPECTING THAT CHAUVINISTIC CUSTOM? WHERE’S HER HUSBAND OR MALE FAMILY MEMBER?
>>”Well-known for her stand on women’s rights
SOMEBODY ASK HER WHY SHE DIDN’T HAVE A MALE CHAPERONE–THAT’LL GET A FEW LAUGHS! TSK
>>” she has provoked headlines such as “Just like a submissive woman
OR “BEHAVING LIKE A CUCKHOLD’S WIFE.”
allah be damned! Her hair is showing, where are the religious police when you need them..?
