#1 "Some of the remnants of the Islamic Courts have been caught wearing veils. During the war, these remnants, pretending to be women, killed so many government troops," he alleged.

The brave Lions would not stoop so low here in the homeland of the magnificent beast, would they ?

#2 Somali security forces are seizing and even burning Muslim women's veils to stop Islamist militants from disguising themselves for attacks, authorities and witnesses claimed on Wednesday.

How is it that a backwater military is able to understand something that major industrialized nations have yet to grasp? I suppose the fact that their lives depend upon it might have something to do with it.

"Government troops are unveiling women. Yesterday, I was forced to run away to escape from being unveiled. This is wrong, but we cannot do anything, we are powerless," she said.

You want "wrong", try telling your jihadist and janjaweed buddies how wrong it is to commit genocide and use civilian disguises while in combat. Then come back and tell us all about what's so wrong.

#4 I said it before - the only reason to cover your face is if it's Halloween or if you're up to no good.

#6 Zen,

It is because they don't have an ACLU and a CAIR to sue their asses off.

I second the motion. Throw in the democratic party for good measure.

#9 Throw in the democratic party for good measure.

Hey, we want the place to calm down and actually try to act civilized. CAIR is handicap enough to that. The dummycritter party would totally screw things up. Bad enough to have them here, where we have at least a semblance of control (Constitution, law, history, etc.) over them.
