Allah Says: MOAR NINJA WOMEN!

[SimuLord]

Spoiler: Ninjas!

[/spoiler]

This isn't about ninjas, or Muslim women, or Allah---well, not directly. See, France banned the wearing of full-length Muslim veils a couple of days ago, continuing to take what can be seen as a hard line on reining in their Muslim population.

I live in the United States. My country's religious intolerance has reached a point where even Mahmoud Ahmadinejad felt it necessary to stand up for the bulk of my countrymen. Seriously. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is talking sense. [http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/28405/ahmadinejad-islamic-countries-not-against-america/] And in the process he's probably saving American lives as fighters in the region take his counsel, which is more than Rev. Terry Jones (who ought to be shot as an enemy combatant for causing US soldier deaths in Afghanistan) can say for himself.

France, meanwhile? Poking the dog with a stick and seeing if it will bite. Europe is supposed to be this enlightened place, yet France quite possibly leads the world in religious intolerance. Not that I mind---anything that takes the heat off the good ol' USA can only be a good thing, but seriously, people.

[b]For discussion:[/b] Aw, fuck it. Open thread. About ninjas, Muslims, and ninjas fighting for Allah.

I like the title of this thread.

OT: I'm actually against people being able to wear things that obscure their faces due to exploitation by criminals.

Well the french are very arrogant and very determined to preserve their cultural values.

I don't see it as particularly surprising, I think the law would likely pass here (Australia) if it was put to the government (and all the politicians were honest about what they think)

Europe has always had the freedom to be different and they don't give a shit. Evidently.

First of all; There are far more muslims in Europe than in the US. In the capital of my country, they have taken over entire regions in the city, where they enforce sharia law on women and gays. Some even refer to it as the "muslim problem."
Second: It's for identification purposes.
Third: Team Ninja has taught me that female ninjas display extreme amounts of cleavage. Ergo; muslim women are not ninjas.

Is the "Muslim problem" in any way related to the "Jewish question"? You Europeans and your clever little catchphrases...

Lets not lump "Europe" into one lump.

It's an idiotic move by the French, I'll go all the way to say "batshit" to be frank. If anyone was going to do it, it would be the French.
It'll end up in another war of sorts.

(Take note France, you fucking suck at warfare. Do your usual trick and give up now, that's right wave your arms in the air like you just don't care.)

Exactly! I mean, they must know about ninjas, it's right there in the name!
Ninjas weren't stealthy and unnoticed, they dazzled men with them boobs.

Either approach is good really.

That article should be taken with a few pounds of salt; even the writer acknowledges that ahmadinejad's stance is an about face compared to his earlier statements.

But OT: I was under the impression that France was doing this in order to keep women from being forced to wear religious garb by their husbands.

You're British. You hardly qualify as European, at least according to Napoleon.

Napolean, what does he know.

 

[SimuLord]

Napoleon knew plenty. It's not his fault that Grouchy couldn't keep the goddamn Prussians off the battlefield.

 

[Lyri]

I notice I didn't spell Napoleon right, epic.

Still, fuck him.

Allah says Relax.

oh SNAP

The Burka thing is a Arab culture thing it has nothing to do with Islam. Muslim Women just have cove up their head not their entire face.

even then the covering of the hair thing isnt even part of islam its not even mentioned in the quran

OT: i still think its incredibly insensitive to not allow women to wear burkas or hijabs

 

[UltraParanoia]

Fuck Ninjas.

Go Vikings!

For once I think France is doing good.


Mostly cause it's pissing people off and making me laugh.

 

[SimuLord]

Fuck Ninjas.

Go Vikings!

I can't endorse this opinion, not while Brett Favre still plays for them.

*bleargh*. Not football Vikings. Norse Vikings.

Kinda, except the "jew situation" was based on a belief that the jews were deceiving, world-controlling, money-hungry snakes. They didn't attack men for not wearing a kippah.
But yes, I'd say it's based 50% on racism and prejudice and 50% on the cultural clashes caused.

 

[Irridium]

I had something serious to say, but now my mind is full of scantily clad ninja's fighting in in an epic god-ending battle.

So yeah, um... good for the Iranian president who's name I can't spell?
