Australia: "Protest for burqa ban caused great offense!"

18 Comments

Update:

As usual, the enemedia can’t spin it enough to blame those opposing the burqa with “causing offense”- can’t offend poor widdle muslims now, can we?

The aggressive mob of young muselmaniacs who ripped the burqa off from one of the protesters gets no mention. Will the police charge him with assault? I won’t be holding my breath:

7-News:

“Sydneysiders extremely offended by the male protesters wearing the burqa”

A group of protesters wearing burqas gathered in various places in Sydney today to argue for Australia to ban the face veil.

They say the wearing of the Islamic headwear donned by women, should be outlawed because they pose a security risk.

Security and police were called when the burqa-clad non-Muslims incited anger outside state Parliament House.

Members of the public were extremely offended by the male protesters wearing the burqa.

Zubeda Raihman from the Muslim Women’s National Network says, “I think it is pretty offensive because we live in this democratic country and we are given the freedom of choice.”

The only “offended” comment the 7-network offers its viewers is the opinion of a muselmanic agit-prop?

The group ventured to the Downing Centre Local Court, a city pub, a bank, and the NSW Parliament House.

The Bunglawussi knows who is to blame:

Ugly scenes erupted between a group of burqa-clad protesters and a Muslim man outside NSW State Parliament in Sydney today.

Opposing the burqa will cause bloodbath

Burka Bloodbath (Gates of Vienna)

The video below is a news report from Norwegian TV. Part of it is English, and part in Norwegian with subtitles. It features the “British” Muslim firebrand Anjem Choudary and some of his Muslima disciples, discussing the severe consequences that await the kuffar if they attempt to ban the burka.

Many thanks to Kitman for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:

Indoctrination and terror threats are a package deal for this lot. These freaks mean what they say……

More burqa stories:

Jailed cleric Maulana Abdul Aziz, one of two brothers who ran Islamabad’s radical Red Mosque, was caught fleeing the violence at his mosque dressed in a burka. This was after he told his students to sacrifice themselves. At least 100 people died, mostly students, when security forces stormed the mosque in a bid to end the siege and flush out pro-Taliban militants from the complex.(Gateway)

For Al Jizz its all about 'choice'

What with the expulsion of the Roma and now the ban on burquas, France’s image as a defender of human rights has taken a serious blow.

Ya think?

Think again: Even female Christian students asked to send in pictures of them wearing traditional Muslim head covering for graduation ceremony. Faculty claims it is just ‘customary,’ but not compulsory.

That’s right. Chose wisely. Wrap yourself in shrouds. Or else:

Journalism ethics, PalArab style

From Ma’an:

Extremists desecrated a Quran in West Jerusalem on Monday, a Pal-Arab from Bethlehem said Tuesday.

No evidence. But Arabs go apeshit anyway:

This story fits in with Ma’an’s tradition of publishing even the most absurd claims (like Jews raising wild boars and setting them loose to antagonize Arab farmers) as fact.  In this case, the story is already picked up by Hamas’ AlQassam website and it will spread from there into, possibly, violent riots. People might even get killed because of this irresponsible “journalism.”

Guardian excises Jews from Bible story (and from theme park)

A great pickup by Omri from Mere Rhetoric (via email), quoting The Guardian:

…With a cast of extras in the costumes of Romans and early Palestinians, the park advertises itself as “a place where everyone can learn about the origins of spirituality“.

Yes, Jesus and his neighbors were all “early Palestinians” who gave the world the origins of spirituality. I guess that the Jewish imperialist dogs only invaded the area around 1948 to unfairly punish the innocent native Palestinian descendants of Jesus’ disciples.

But, to be fair, I’m pretty sure that the Guardian would consider Judas to be a Jew.

Perverting Everything: George Soros Undermines Israel With $ 100 Million Grant to  Shady ‘Yuman Rites’ Org

Jerusalem – A $100 million “challenge grant” from George Soros to Human Rights Watch (HRW) will not contribute to universal human rights, but will instead allow expansion of the biases and ideologies that have severely damaged this organization’s reputation, notes NGO Monitor, a Jerusalem-based research institution.

“Human Rights Watch was founded to promote a noble moral mission, but unfortunately acts in a very immoral manner,” says Professor Gerald Steinberg, president of NGO Monitor.  “HRW claims to be ‘even-handed’ and to publish ‘credible reports,’ but this is contradicted by highly biased activities in the Middle East, particularly on the Arab-Israeli conflict.  Time and again, HRW reports on Israel are based on false or unverifiable claims, and the analysis strips away the context of the conflict, denying Israelis the right to self-defense. George Soros has supported this travesty.”  (NGO Monitor)

NSW moonbat cabinet votes against burqa ban

5 Comments

Eyes wide shut

Louise Hall/SMH

NSW Premier Kristina Keneally says her government will not support a ban on the burqa, the head and body veil worn by some Muslim women, because “such a ban has no place in multicultural NSW”.

Birds of a feather:  NSW Premier Kristina Keneally with fellow moonbat Cate Blanchett

Christian Democratic Party MP Fred Nile had called on both major parties to allow members a conscience vote on his private member’s bill, which was introduced into Parliament in June.

Mr Nile wants NSW to follow a growing number of European countries trying to ban women from wearing in public the burqa and the niqab, a veil with a narrow opening for the eyes.

Interfaith kumbaya for the Muslim vote:

However, at an interfaith dinner with about 300 religious leaders last night, Ms Keneally announced that cabinet had decided to oppose the Full-face Coverings Prohibition Bill, which is modelled on legislation recently passed by the Belgian Parliament.

“We are fortunate to live in a largely harmonious state where differences in language, culture and faith are rightly seen as things which enliven and strengthen our society,” Ms Keneally said.

“It is in this spirit that the NSW Government has decided to oppose the bill seeking to create a criminal offence of wearing a burqa in public places.”

Mr Nile said he was disappointed that MPs would not be allowed a conscience vote when the bill returns to Parliament next month.

Home Secretary bans English Defence League march in Bradford

Theresa May, the Home Secretary, has authorised a blanket ban on marches in a city on the day of a planned protest by the English Defence League (EDL), an right-wing campaign group.

Ah yes, Britain, where freedom of speech means hate-speech for Muslims and jail for opponents of cultural enrichment…..

Protestors of the English Defence League (EDL) break through barriers

The EDL had intended to demonstrate in Bradford on Saturday August 28 and Unite Against Fascism has planned a protest in the city on the same day.

A Home Office spokesman said: ”Having carefully balanced rights to protest against the need to ensure local communities and property are protected, the Home Secretary today gave her consent to a Bradford Council order banning any marches in the city over the bank holiday weekend.  (Telegraph UK)

What About the Right Not to Wear a Burqa?

University lecturer barred from class after refusing to wear a burqa

We always hear in the West that women who choose to don the veil are doing so of their own free will, and are perfectly free not to wear it. Yet the leader of the students’ union at Aliah University is willing to put this kind of pressure on Sirin Middya, and he is by no means alone in this. “Woman not allowed to teach after burqa refusal,” from Sify News, July 30 (thanks to JW)

English council bans staff from wearing mini-skirts

A COUNCIL has warned female employees they could be sent home if their skirts are too short.

Not that this has anything to do with Islam or Muslims imposing sharia. But what if it does?

A memo sent by bosses at Southampton City Council, in southern England, has instructed the council’s 400 staff to dress appropriately for work, The Daily Mail reports.

Social workers, youth workers and other employees in the council’s children’s services department were told to “carefully consider their work attire”.

Women were advised to wear trousers or skirts of “reasonable length” – “not mini-skirts”.

France Parliament Votes Unanimously For Burqa Ban

7 Comments

Stay tuned for carbeques & riots, something that doesn’t ‘stigmatize’ Muslims!

PARIS AP — France’s lower house of parliament has approved a ban on burqa-like Islamic veils, a move that is popular among French voters despite serious concerns from Muslim groups and human rights advocates.

There were 336 votes for the bill and just one against at the National Assembly. Most members of the main opposition group, the Socialist Party, refused to participate in the vote.

Following Tuesday’s vote, the ban on face-covering veils will go in September to the Senate, where it also is likely to pass. Its biggest hurdle will likely come after that, when France’s constitutional watchdog scrutinizes it.

The main body representing French Muslims says face-covering veils are not required by Islam, and it worries that the law will stigmatize all Muslims.

“Not required” but then they are fanatical enough to riot and kill for it. And then they whine about being ‘stigmatized?’ What kind of  queer and twisted  logic is that?

But that would put France on a collision course with the EUnion, which in and of itself would be fun and more then a little interesting to watch.

Klein Verzet adds this:

In the mean time, support for the burqa ban comes from some unexpected quarters. ViaEuropeNews we learn about Mona Eltahawy, an Egyptian-born journalist who calls herself “a liberal, a Muslim and a feminist”. And a staunch supporter of the ban:

I support banning the burqa because I believe it equates piety with the disappearance of women. The closer you are to God, the less I see of you — and I find that idea extremely dangerous. It comes from an ideology that basically wants to hide women away. What really strikes me is that a lot of people say that they support a woman’s right to choose to wear a burqa because it’s her natural right. But I often tell them that what they’re doing is supporting an ideology that does not believe in a woman’s right to do anything. We’re talking about women who cannot travel alone, cannot drive, cannot even go into a hospital without a man with them.

Mrs. Eltahawy could teach our home-grown ‘feminists’ (which for all intents and purposes are just the female variety of cultural marxists hell bent on the destruction of Western Civilization) a thing or two about what it truly means to stand up for women.

Nile vows to continue fight against the burqa

12 Comments

LOUISE HALL/SMH

Muslim females desecrating the flag:
For and against: Female subjugation or ignoring the rights of women? Reverend Fred Nile and Muslim author and lawyer Randa Abdel-Fattah present their case.

THE Reverend Fred Nile says he will continue his fight for a ban on the Islamic head and body veil after his private member’s bill foundered in Parliament yesterday.

The Christian Democrats MP wants NSW to follow a growing list of European countries which have moved to ban women from wearing the full head and body covering in public.

Rev Nile’s Full-face Coverings Prohibition Bill, which is modelled on legislation recently passed by the Belgium Parliament, would see any person wearing a a burqa or niqab while in public liable for a $550 fine.

Anyone who compels another person to wear such a covering could be fined $1100 and a person’s religious or cultural belief would not be a reasonable excuse.

“The time to act is now, the world is debating this issue right now,” Rev Nile said.

Well, we may as well start debating the benefits of Islamic immigration altogether. What say you?

Belgium: Parliament to vote on burka ban

Islam in Europe

Update: Looks like it’s not going to happen today.

Belgium, France Prepare to Ban Islamic Veils [Video]

Correct Wahabite  Burqa Leaving Only One Eye to See

The Belgian gov’t is going through a coalition crisis but that will not prevent the parliament from voting today on a draft law banning face-covering veils.

Amnesty International & Human Rights Watch both urged the parliament to vote against the law.

Both AI & HRW are totally Muzz-infested and blow the horn of Islamo-fascism. Amnesia Intentional is famous for putting rights of jihadis before those of their victims and has just sacked Gita Sahgal,  who questioned  AI’s  partnership with Taliban supporter Moazzam Begg.

“Bans like this lead to a lose-lose situation,” said Judith Sunderland, senior Western Europe researcher at Human Rights Watch. “They violate the rights of those who choose to wear the veil and do nothing to help those who are compelled to do so.”

I will post further updates as they occur.
