Belgium’s Impending Burqa/Niqab Ban Good News…

    Talk about totally ass backwards. Idiocy by design.
    Bring on the wedge!

    Isabelle Praile, the vice-president of the Muslim Executive of Belgium, warned that a Belgian ban could be the thin end of the wedge.

    “Today it’s the full-face veil. Tomorrow the veil, the day after it will be Sikh turbans, and then perhaps it will be miniskirts,” ,” she told the AFP news agency.

    “Miniskirts”. What a disingenuous sack a crap.

    david: I agree. That statement was so stupid I almost quoted it in the post.

    Today, take of that burqa!
    Tomorrow, take off that veil!
    The day after tomorrow, take off that turban!

    Can’t wait for the day after that!
