Try this one:

Still NFG.Here's the text:


French minister urges burka ban

Fadela Amara said France was a beacon for an enlightened Islam
A ban on the wearing of the burka in France would help stem the spread of the "cancer" of radical Islam, one of its female Muslim ministers has said.

Urban Regeneration Minister Fadela Amara told the Financial Times that a veil covering everything but the eyes represented "the oppression of women".

Ms Amara said she was "in favour of the burka not existing in my country".

The comments come as French MPs hold hearings on whether to ban the garment, which covers the body from head to toe.

The National Assembly set up the 32-member commission after President Nicolas Sarkozy said the burka was "not welcome" in France, home to Western Europe's largest population of Muslims.


The burka represents not a piece of fabric but the political manipulation of a religion

Fadela Amara, French Minister for Urban Regeneration
Mr Sarkozy said it was unacceptable to have women who were "prisoners behind netting, cut off from all social life, deprived of identity".

In 2004, France controversially banned Muslim headscarves and other "conspicuous" religious symbols in state schools and by public employees.

'Male chauvinism'

In an interview with the Financial Times on Saturday, Ms Amara said she was in favour of an outright ban on the burka, even though it might be difficult to apply.




"The burka represents not a piece of fabric but the political manipulation of a religion that enslaves women and disputes the principal of equality between men and women, one of the founding principles of our republic," she said.

France was a beacon for an enlightened Islam at ease with modernity, so it was necessary to fight the "gangrene, the cancer of radical Islam which completely distorts the message of Islam", she said.

Ms Amara, who is of Algerian descent, argued that banning the burka would help women to stand up to the extremists in their communities.

"The vast majority of Muslims are against the burka. It is obvious why," she said.

"Those who have struggled for women's rights back home in their own countries - I'm thinking particularly of Algeria - we know what it represents and what the obscurantist political project is that lies behind it, to confiscate the most fundamental liberties."

She added that the 2004 ban on headscarves in schools had helped Muslim women face up to male chauvinism in their communities.

The fact that they can even have that conversation is remarkable. It is unimaginable that such a discussion could even be considered in the United States Congress. So who has a pair?

God bless the French (FTF).

I also saw in the news yesterday where two French Fishing Boats crews had taken them back from the pirates, killing a couple and capturing one I believe it was. Other countries are going to start sending armed people on their boats in those areas or warships to escort them. I didn't see anything about what the United States is going to do. Maybe the French are just getting fed up with things and it is their country not the other peoples who are moving in there.

I happened to ride by a couple of Public Swimming Pools yesterday.

I wish Obummer had a Ugly Czar.

Someone needs to be in charge of handing out and enforcing mandatory Burkas for A Lot obesed women at Public Pools.

Fred,

I happened to ride by a couple of Public Swimming Pools yesterday.

Right: Now tell the truth. You were out cruising with BB and she wanted to go to that side of town.
