Being a proud Atheist, and a freedom loving INFIDEL AKA "KUFFAR", WE are threatened by the primitive pidgeon chested jihad boys in the medieval east.
FRACK YOU!! SAY US ALL!! Don't annoy the Pagans and Bikers,, it's a islam FREE ZONE!!! LAN ASTASLEM!!!!
France has been seized by a silly hysteria over the burkini,
prompting me to wonder when Europeans will get serious about their
Islamist challenge. For starters, what is a burkini? The word (sometimes spelled burqini)
combines the names of two opposite articles of female clothing: the burqa
(an Islamic tent-like, full-body covering) and the bikini. Also known as
a halal swimsuit, it modestly covers all but the face, hands and
feet, consisting of a top and a bottom. It resembles a wetsuit with a
head covering.
Which is which? A
burkini and a wetsuit.
Aheda Zanetti of Ahiida Pty Ltd
in Australia claims to have coined the portmanteau in 2003, calling it
"smaller than a burka" while "two piece like a
bikini." The curious and sensational cross of two radically
dissimilar articles of clothing along with the need it fit for active,
pious Muslim women, the burkini (as Ahiida notes) was "the subject
of an immediate rush of interest and demand." Additionally, some
women (like British cooking celebrity Nigella
Lawson) wear it to avoid a tan, while pious
Jews have adopted a variant garment. In 2009, a public swimming pool in Emerainville
excluded a burkini-wearing woman, on the grounds that she violated pool
rules by wearing street clothes. But burkinis only erupted into a
national political issue on Aug. 12 when the mayor of Cannes, a resort
town on the French Riviera, banned burkinis (without legally defining
what exactly they are) on the Cannes beaches because it represents
Islamism. A court
then confirmed his ban and the prime minister of France, Manuel
Valls, further endorsed it (on the grounds that the burkini is a
religious expression that has no place on the beach) as did François
Fillon, a likely candidate for president next year. Thus encouraged, other
French municipalities followed suit, including the city of Nice, plus
another nine towns in the Alpes-Maritimes Department as well as five
towns in the Var Department. This development astonishes me, someone who has argued that the burqa
(and the niqab, a similar article of clothing that leaves a slit for the
eyes) needs to be banned from public places on security grounds. Those
formless garments not only hide the face, permitting criminals and
jihadis to hide themselves but they permit the wearer to hide, say, an
assault rifle without anyone knowing. Men as well as women use burqas as
accessories to criminal and jihadi purposes. Indeed, I have collected
some 150 anecdotes of bank robberies, abductions, murders, and jihadi
attacks since 2002; Philadelphia
has become the Western capital of burqas and niqabs as criminal
accessories, with at least 34 incidents in 9 years.
A Moroccan sign
banning the burkini.
In contrast, the burkini poses no danger to public security. Unlike
the burqa or niqab, it leaves the face uncovered; relatively
tight-fitting, it leaves no place to hide weapons. Men cannot wear it as
a disguise. Further, while there are legitimate arguments about the
hygiene of large garments in pools (prompting some hotels
in Morocco to ban the garment), this is obviously not an issue on the
coastal beaches of France. Accordingly, beach burkinis should be allowed without restriction.
Cultural arguments, such as the one made by Valls, are specious and
discriminatory. If a woman wishes to dress modestly on the beach, that is
her business, and not the state's. It's also her prerogative to choose
unflattering swimwear that waterlogs when she swims.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation and its Role in Enforcing Islamic Law
We need to get off Saudi Barbarian OIL!!!!!Support the Canadian OIL Sands,,, and visit,, Ethicaloil.org
The gravity of the existential threat we face from Islamic Jihad is truly of epic proportions. It is essentially a battle pitting free-civilized man against a totalitarian barbarian. What is at stake is the struggle for our very soul - namely who we are and what we represent. The lives that were sacrificed for individual rights and freedoms that we've come to cherish are being chiseled away from right under our noses by the stealth jihadists. And many of us are in denial and totally clueless.
The left's appeasement and pandering to evil is nothing new. What makes their utopian delusions so infuriating and unpardonable is that it is not only they who will have to pay the consequences, and deservedly, so, they are thwarting and undermining our best efforts at resistance and are thus dragging us down in the process as well.
