… the Texas school system.

Some worries up in Quebec about how Biker Boy blessings might have to get municipal approval if tighter secularism laws get passed.

Wishing does not make it so.

Australia’s decision, yesterday, to refuse entry to a bunch of ISIS adherents (they have to go back to their camp in Syria) has occasioned another round of ISIS bride language. These women aren’t ideologically committed violent fanatics – only men have the brains to be that. No, they put on their white veils or whatever and did the brood mare thing for whatever incomprehensible nonsense Ahmad was spouting…

It’s simply a measure of how far women haven’t come that everyone feels comfortable denigrating these fully paid cult members in this way. I mean FUCK. The one thing these chicks weren’t is anything remotely resembling what anyone in the history of the English language has ever meant by the word BRIDE.

Read what Shamima Begum said attracted her to ISIS. She particularly loved videos of beheadings.

Stop with the bride shit.

The article wins the Most Use Of the Word ‘Pro-Abortion’ award. It’s a great word, conjuring images of the professor at issue loudly cheering on any woman thinking of getting one. GO FOR IT HON!! YEAH!!

I’m sure Capo Rhoades will get his way and succeed in forcing out a voice of dissent. But that’s just one voice, my man. Sixty percent of Catholics favor abortion rights. Got your work cut out for you, huh?

The head of the National Council of Canadian Muslims recognizes the absurdity of governments paying for religious schools, many of which inculcate values destructive to the functioning of a modern democratic state (head/body veiling for girls and women, withdrawal from the civic realm, derogation of women); and though he ain’t happy about Bill 9’s extension of secular laws in Quebec, he’s able to understand that there’s Provincial consensus on higher levels of secularization.

All say no. Legislation is pending.

You may recall Christopher Buckley’s God is My Broker: A  Monk-Tycoon Reveals the 7 1/2 Laws of Spiritual and Financial Growth. Brother Owens is the man!

Teehee. If you force teachers to display the Ten Commandments, they will have to comply; but some of them will cover the display wall with additional posters from all sorts of supernatural sources, see, not just Christianly-approved ones.

And again I say teehee.

… (it’s unregulated, so deaths and mutilations happen) has outraged circumcision enthusiasts. But for UD’s money, no defender of the practice (look at what they’re up to in New York!) will ever come up to the standard of this 2012 piece by Jeffrey Epstein’s best buddy Alan Dershowitz, which compares anyone with the slightest objection to slicing the dicks of non-consenting infants to Adolf Hitler.

LOL as if Iran will listen to her. She probably hasn’t even had her clitoris sawed off.

Christopher Hitchens famously compared some forms of religious life to “celestial North Koreas,” where one is compelled to praise one’s secular or divine god unceasingly. As Rick Plasterer, an evangelical, puts it:

God is always the final authority in our lives (Acts 5:29, certainly for Christians, and really should be for everyone). We are commanded to pray without ceasing (i.e., frequently, I Thess. 5:16-18) and certainly before meals (I Tim. 4:4-5).

Now, if you’re France, or Quebec, and you regard yourself as a secular country, or province, you do not want to live an unceasingly religious civic life; you positively wish to assert as a fundamental value, as a definitional identity, freedom from clerical existence. Religious life belongs in religious institutions – churches, mosques, synagogues, parochial schools – and of course in the domestic sphere. The shared public realm visibly, in an everyday way, ought to proclaim that God (whichever God yours happens to be – final-authority Gods abound, and you can ask Lebanon what it looks like when everyone designates a different one) is a private matter, and belongs mostly out of sight.

If it is true that for many religious one is commanded to pray unceasingly, or frequently, and if, on top of this, one takes a, well, evangelizing approach to faith (“really should be for everyone”), a country’s going to have a hell of a time establishing a public life based on shared (the vast majority of French and Quebecois, when asked, confirm that they are strongly secular/anticlerical) secular values, as in the equality of the sexes, sexual freedom, free thought, individualism, and a broad contempt for the array of surviving primitive and destructive religious practices that bedevil advanced and less advanced nations. How to establish and safeguard a truly secular realm?

Legally and constitutionally. Quebec already has some forms of restraint on people who want to gather in the streets and pray, and on people who want to wear burqas; but it wants more of this, and proposes tougher legislation. Since by definition most religious people do not understand why anyone wouldn’t like their ways (they bear after all salvational truth to us), there’s a kind of impasse here. But, like France, Quebec will proceed to assert and defend its foundational values.

Vermeule Valley, in Tennessee! Home lots currently available.

We can only hope the French courts keep her there for the duration, and don’t decide after six months that I mean golly she’s a girl and all with kids and all … let’s let her out.

A longtime, hardened, ISIS propagandist, she explained to the court that “ISIS ideology had prevented her from fully grasping the severity of the crimes being committed around her.” Which is like… I don’t get that. Hitler’s ideology – killing Jews en masse, for instance – prevented me from fully grasping the crematoria smoking away at Auschwitz… ?

ISIS was never coy about its ideology and its intended actions, and puleeze don’t pull the I’m just a silly female bit puleeze? We hear that a lot from the Al-Hol honeys who wanna come home. At the very least, we know that these are dangerous people who may regret what they did but have established a susceptibility to the very worst ideas and actions human beings can generate. Their extremism and moral degeneracy means they will never be safe to have around. It will never be safe to have them walking the streets of French cities.

Update on one of her collaborators. Another case of a girlie sentence.

But this one was overturned in 2023!

I mean of course her husband got a life sentence for tying up their five year old slave girl in hellish heat and letting her burn and starve to death in it. But I mean his wife is a girl! and we can’t be expected to believe that a girl is just as philosophically committed an enslaver and torturer as a boy…

Clearly the German courts are just as disgusted as UD by this bullshit. They are reviewing her initial sentence with an eye toward lengthening it.

Like the fairy godmother passing her wand over Cinderella, Asha Hassan visited each Somali house and poof made all the children autistics.
