You just never know who might be in there
Ain't multiculturalism grand? And doesn't this open up an intriguing sidelight on the stories about France considering banning the burqa?
"Burqa-clad robbers hold up post office," from AFP, February 7 (thanks to Jockaira):
Two burqa-wearing robbers have held up a French post office using a handgun concealed beneath an Islamic-style full veil, court officials said.Officials said postal office staff let the pair through the security double doors of the banking branch near Paris, believing them to be veil-wearing Muslim women.
Once inside, the pair flipped back their head coverings and pulled out a gun.
They made off with 4,500 euros ($7,100) seized from the staff and customers of the branch in Athis Mons, just south of Paris, according to the online edition of Le Parisien newspaper....
Those who argue against a Burka Ban, on the basis of women's rights, are about as right as arguing for women's rights to have FGM performed on them.
Many Muslim and ex-Muslim women in the west are in favour of the Burka ban, saying they don't want the archaic strictures of the countries they left following them to the west.
Yet, as Salman Rushdie say in re Multicularalism: western intellectuals' ears are attuned to the most radical mullahs and "other arseholes".....
Well, this event settles it. Ban the burqa in France.
If Sarkozy doesn't use this as an example, then I don't know what.
I wonder how long it will be before some fool claims the burka clad people were Mossad agents and the whole exercise was a setup to discredit Islam.
Paul.With the amount of paranoia and rumors among Muslims,
this is not farfetched.If Iran ever nukes Israel,the consensus among Muslims would be of a Jewish conspiracy to
give Islam a bad name.
Actually this could have been a planned operation of Jihadists with four aims fulfilled:
1. Make it more likely that the anti-burqa initiative would pass and give Mulsims another reason to call themselves the "victims of racist descrimination".
2. As noted, it could also be an excellent opportunity to blame Mossad and all other Jews for deceitful manœuvrings against Islam.
3. It would reinforce the already somewhat fearful feelings of the average Frenchman against the takeover of "La Belle France".
4. And of course, the booty would serve in an admittedly small manner to help finance the multi-generational takeover of France and eventually all of Europe, or at least, to pay off a few low-level thugs.
It is reasonable to foresee that similar robberies may occur in the weeks and months ahead. Muslims would see nothing but an upside to these types of operations.
Memo to M. le President Sarkozy and the Parliament of France:
just hurry up and ban the burqa already! Everywhere in France.
And if it turns out you need the army to enforce the ban: then send in the army.
We had this in Philadelphia last year. Three burka-clad men (African American Muslims) robbed a bank inside a Shop Rite Supermarket. In the end one robber and one police officer were killed. What I found striking was that the burka angle was briefly mentioned and never brought up again in subsequent stories about the robbery and murder. Philadelphia Magazine, however, did a big expose this time last year on the rash of Police killings and how mnay of them were linked to Islam...
There once was a fellow named Bob
Who decided to wear a niqab,
But he isn't a crank -
He just held up a bank
And the camera recorded a blob.

Loved your rhyme, especially the "blob" part. Thanks for the laugh, I needed that.

You mean to tell me that we can't kick those cowardly sissies out of the West?
