What for?

Why doesnt she put her money into something worthwhile, like feeding the homeless in our country?

Good. After a few days amongst the ROP in a hot steaming burka under the call of the mezzuin she'll be sprinting back to her Lear jet with one broken high-heel.

Unless of course the ROP has the equavalent of the "scientology Celebrity center" to send her to. Where they basically keep her from witnessing the evil realities of Islam while her presence is added to their propaganda satellite uplink to broadcast to the future dhimmis of the world to gloat about how great Islam really is.

She is a tool.

She gives all Mini drivers a bad name.

She better buy a hijab before she goes. And no plunging necklines, Minnie...Idiot.

Definitions of cretin on the Web:

/kret'n/ or /kree'tn/ n. Congenital {loser}; an obnoxious person; someone who can't do anything right. It has been observed that many American hackers tend to favor the British pronunciation /kre'tn/ over standard American /kree'tn/; it is thought this may be due to the insidious phonetic influence of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

You would think someone making a commitment of that magnitude would investigate the ideology they are working to reenforce wouldn't you? If you made that assumption then it would be safe to assume that Minnie Driver is an enemy of women's rights. Someone needs to educate this lady. Maybe she'll get one once she gets over there starts helping put new generations of her sisters under the Islamic thumb.

The US Army no longer puts bags over prisoners heads because it is "inhumane", yet Islam, that would keep the whole woman in a bag, is perfectly acceptable to Ms. Driver? Say it ain't so.

f.g.

I guess she'll have to change her last name now to "Intelligence", since her first name modifies it perfectly.

I don't recall her offering to rebuild the 'Buddhas of Bamiyan' statues blown up by the mosque-trained Taliban in Afghanistan, even though the glorious and infallible U.N. called them a 'world art treasure' as they were being rocketed and howitzered into gravel.

Minnie, stick to 'playing' people with a mind.
Attempting it in reality can get complicated.

Yes, another idiot star soon to be answering the call for noon prayers. These idiots are really misguided and hopefully stupid to want to embrace Islam so willingly.

It really is pathological the way islam breeds acquience. Why? Simple, it's programmed into our psyche to fear and respect the boogyman.

Only difference is that in the past, we fought killed, shunned and banished the demon, now we embrace it and welcome it into our country under the guise of multiculturism.

Several thousand churches in Indonesia were destroyed by Muslim mobs in 2003 alone (source: the Barnabas Fund). In Thailand Buddhist monks and temples have been attacked. Surely the first object of mouseketeer charity in southeast Asia should be those Christian churches, those Buddhist temples.

Great.... Minnie will build mosques...then what? As an infidel (I am assuming she is not muslim based upon the way she dresses) she will not be welcomed into the 'mosque that minnie built'..better yet as a woman (even if she were muslim) she would be required to enter via the back door into a seperate 'womens prayer area' and be decked out in a hefty bag with eye holes. Perhaps minnie is just trying to garner some publicity as she isnt really one of 'hollywoods elite'....too bad she didnt think about helping orphans or even helping to rebuild the environment to gain some much needed publicity

I guess Minnie figured she was too late to climb on the Hollywood Kaballist band wagon or the anti-war in Iraq band wagon, so when the Tsunami came along, she thought she'd catch this wave (of attention-getting).

Just don't show too much leg while you're working on the mosques, Minnie, or you might just lose your head.

Posted by: Cato the Elder at January 18, 2005 1:26 PM

A foolish young actress named Minnie,
In an effort to stay very skinny,
Ran off to build mosques,
And now everyone talks
About how she's a pin-headed ninny.

Posted by: scaramouoche at January 18, 2005 3:40 PM

That's the LAST thing they need. If she really wanted to help people, she should build a soap factory, or a water filtering plant, or a factory that makes diarrhea medicine.

The best thing for religiously-insane people, especially if they are impoverished, is a condom and/or birth control factory. Build a printing press that encourages people to think for themselves. Start a homeless shelter for women so they don't have to stick with the men that beat them.

The poor girl must be deluded. Doesn't she know that the Soddy Arabians will always donate money for new mosques? (As long as they can staff it with firebrand Wahhabi preachers.)

Posted by: kj at January 18, 2005 4:01 PM

Really, Minnie Driver...if you want to help the people there in a positive way, build a factory that makes something like Pedialyte or Gatorade, that replaces lost fluids when children have diarrhea.

Posted by: kj at January 18, 2005 4:02 PM

So true, kj.
Thank you Magnanimous Interfaith Goddess!!! You've given the poor, undernourished, disease-stricken victims just what they need - mosques to die in!!

I guess Minnie Driver supports the ethical treatment that all Moslem women receive under Islam? She must buy the Islamic taqiyya spewing palaver.

I watched on the local news last night as they showed the “ Iraqi polling” location in Irvine Ca. And others throughout the US.

I noticed most of the women wearing a lot of clothes and walking about 20 feet behind the men.
The reporter stated that 70,000 Iraqis live in Ca. Only one women was interviewed, and she was caucasian, and didn’t look like the obvious Moslem women, all were happy that America was bringing democracy to Iraq and worried about family in Iraq. A rarity to see the war in Iraq portrayed in a positive light on the nightly news.

I do think it is strange that an Iraqi living in America could vote for an election in Iraq?

I thought the mosques were the only buildings left standing after the tsunami, because they were the only ones properly built with saudi aid and all.

Posted by: Arhopala at January 18, 2005 7:50 PM

Arthopala -

No you're wrong the mosques were hit. The tsunami did 50 million dollars worth of improvements.

Q. What do you throw a drowning Imam?

A. His congregation

Wait a minute...

I seem to remember when I lived in the UK, way before her Hollywood career, I saw her in a strange BBC drama on TV, and she did a nude scene. And now she's rebuilding mosques? That's interesting.

I was right!

One can only hope that Minnie is kidnapped and carried off to be the trophy bride of some Islamic prince charming. Then she could view the system she is so eager to rebuild at first hand..

When I say 'view' I mean view as far as one is able to through a burkha, veil or covered window.

I can only imagine how the Muslim conmen are laughing.

Posted by: DianaC at January 18, 2005 10:08 PM

Thailand is having its share of Islamic jihad in the south. As everywhere the ideology that masks itself as the "religion of peace and compassion" wants to subjugate this kingdom which is predominantly Buddhist. Islam leaked in from the Islam-infected lands south of Thailand. Why the Thai government would allow this actress to rebuild mosques is beyond my understanding.
