#1 Well, this does get interesting, doesn't it?

To fit in, the ferreiner women will now NOT have to wear some variation of the burka. After all those years of wearing it, for the sake of Islam, they can't. That should make some grey cells spark.

And I applaud the Iraqis who handed the nutjobs over.
