Banning Headscarves Like Burning Villages, Killing Children and Torturing Muslims
2004-02-24
A tape recording attributed to Osama bin Laden’s top deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, criticized France’s decision to ban Islamic headscarves in schools, and described it as "part of the West’s campaign of hatred against Islam." ...
Yeah, yeah. And banning the kids wearing flip-flops to school is a part of the West's campaign against Vietnamese...
"Banning the headscarves in France is in line with burning villages with its inhabitants in Afghanistan, bringing houses down on the heads of sleeping Palestinians, with killing children in Iraq and robbing their oil using false pretexts ... (and) torturing [Muslims] in the cells of Guantanamo," the tape said.

#9  Al Quaida and their friends in Algeria, Afghnistan and Sudan have done all of this and more both to Muslkims and non-Muslims (although only the former is blamable for those hypocrit pigs).

#8  I'm surprised that AQ is making a big stink about this now. They have proven themselves to be nothing if not persistant and patient. They tried to bring the the WTC in '93, failed, learned from their mistakes, plotted, planted moles, and finally finished the job on 9/11.

Now, take a good look at France: Despite their being a western country, they take pretty much blanket anti-western positions in the U.N. They have an immense Arab and/or Muslim population ( I believe it's like 16% ), one that's growing exponentially because in the socialist utopia that France is, families that are not earning an income are subsidized (read : welfare) and supported by the government. The more children per household, the bigger the check. In just one generation, that 16% figure is going to be much, much larger, as will the size of that particular voting block, and then ...

#7  Poor Pierre. Though I don't wish a 9/11 on anyone, but if one does come, the Eiffel tower as a target might wake them up!

#6  He is an infidel afterall. Isn't it just soooo French? Once the Arab masses overrun the establishment, they will run around screaming, "Off With Their Heads".

#5  IMHO, it appears that AQ is seething at the fact that more muslims don't jump on the jihad bandwagon with 'em. First they simply blamed "the west." Then, when muslims everywhere weren't shahid'in fast enuf, they try to drum up business by blaming Israel for all their problems (remember, AQ didn't talk much about Israel till AFTER Sept 11). So, when that didn't do the trick, it became France's turn.

And I love it. I love how dramatically and publicly France demonstrated and empathized with the arab experience, chastizing the USA for being bulls in a china shop. I love how, for years, France has attempted to cultivated positive relations with arab countries. And now, I love how beautifully this situation illustrates the futility of appeasement!!!

#4  Poor Jacques! He can't he'p it! He was just trying to make everyone happy...
Now, Osama's opened his can of hot-aired, aerosol Whoop Ass!
(Nice to see France, instead of the rest of us, take it in the culottes for a change!)

#3  Chiraq's fruit harvested from decades of appeasement of radical Arabists, extreme Islamists and fanatical Mideast fascists turns to excreta. Now, his once good friends in al-Qa'ida have turned against him.

#2  I think the French should promote distinctive fashions. It will make it easier to see the dulution of their #@&%^($ culture by another ^%$&^* culture.

#1  Well, I guess we could try the latter and compare, if they insist...
