Full Frontal Face…in France!

Ah, those Frenchies. Today their new law banning the “full-face” veil went into effect, and I can’t stop smiling at the article. The French law does not single out “full-face-veil-wearing-Muslim-women,” but obviously this is an outrageous assault on their religious freedom! Pah. It’s kinda hard for me to give a s***. They could leave France and go to Afghanistan or Iran. They love the veil statement there. You know, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Personally, I don’t care what they do, wear, or subject themselves to willingly. BUT it is difficult to see in one of those things when driving a car or crossing a busy street, I would think. No, France is not medieval Persia, sands a swirling…and they have a right to make and enforce laws that uphold a safe society for all, even for the veiled ones.

I’m intrigued by the idea of disguising yourself as a Muslim chick to pull off a bank robbery, gun someone down, heck, any crime at all. How does crime compare in veiled countries with non-veiled countries. Nevermind. They get their hands chopped off for stealing (quite the crime deterrent); here they would get an all-expenses paid vacation to the pokey.

It really ticks me off when people come to a new country, refuse to assimilate or modify their behavior or customs in any way, even get militant and obnoxious in their insistence to act according to the culture of the place they left. Why did you come? Please go back. If you did not want change, why did you change countries? Why are you demanding we change? I don’t want to become Big Iran.

What is the veil thing about? Is it that the men like to hide their treasured possessions from the eyes of others, elevating their own importance as the only “man” to see her face, or does he just like to be a pain in the ass to his woman, perversely chuckling at her clumsy attempts to navigate stairs? Oops, there she went down again. Isn’t she cute? Like a pet, a clumsy dog that makes you laugh. Why would a woman want to be demeaned so? Some love it, feel it preserves their “mystery,” forces everyone to focus on other aspects of them besides physical beauty. Interesting…but only for about a second. We live in a world in which you need all of your senses to get around and stay safe. Publicly drunk, publicly veiled, not a big difference to me. Thanks for the car keys.

So, France is the first in Europe to focus on this problem…and the liberal world sees it as violating religious rights (I guess screw my rights to not be hit by her car as she squints through a slit to maneuver a killing machine through a 360-degree environment).

Well, you knew this part was coming, right. A Muslim leader is encouraging the women to engage in CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE (that almost sounded sexy), wear the full-face veil, and meet up at Notre Dame cathedral for a prayer to protest (he’ll pay their $216 fine). Will they pray a Catholic prayer at the cathedral, like a Hail Mary or something like “Please, Mary, OUR LADY (Notre Dame in French) and Mother of Jesus, don’t let them take my face veil and strip me of my religious identity and identification with the ways of Mohammed…” It kinda takes a little of the steam out of their sails…

The French Muslim chicks need a new director for their film. The location shots are all wrong, the dialogue not ringing true, not enough emotion from the main stars…

Oh, and Osama bin Laden has called for attacks on France. He’s a peach. I mean, France is just sitting there, being France, and bin Laden thinks they need to be attacked for not being Iran. Actually, I wonder if he is the anti-Christ.

One reporter managed to get two veil-wearers to speak to him. They explained that they will go out in public a lot less now, that the ban will create a hidden underclass. Create? Really? The French ban will create this?

Do you ever get the feeling that you are the only one in the world who is not a brainwashed moron?



You’re creepy! Stop it! You’re in France, for Pierre’s sake, go get a nice hat!
