In fact it's more a way to rile the bad Muslims even more - except that they don't really value their women enough to object to harassment, but would use it as an excuse to kill more French people. <br />It's a really bad idea.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-54160291862762695232016-08-25T15:35:48.139+00:002016-08-25T15:35:48.139+00:00Even if for arguments sake, she was doing it to cr...Even if for arguments sake, she was doing it to create a reaction, what the hell did those men think it was going to look like, everyone has a camera and internet access today.

And no-one can convince me that the full burka is a choice most women would make if they weren't culturally conditioned and bullied. It confuses me that most lefties are all for allowing it, and yet they are usually also feminists. Hey, if all Muslims had to wear one, men and women, then fair play (apart from the terrorist angle) but otherwise, nope. T.L.
