Islamic State orders shopkeepers to veil mannequins

Jul 22, 2014 2:12 pm By Robert Spencer

isis-veil-mannequinsThis is because, you see, if a man is tempted by seeing an unveiled mannequin, and rapes her, then the poor mannequin will have to be put to death to salvage the honor of the department store.

“ISIS Forces Iraq Shopkeepers to Veil Mannequins,” NBC News, July 22, 2014:

ISIS has ordered shopkeepers in the Iraqi city of Mosul to cover the faces of mannequins, The Associated Press reported Tuesday.

The Sunni extremist group recently declared a caliphate – or Islamic State – covering parts of Syria and Iraq. Shop owners in Mosul said they had been told to cover the faces of male and female mannequins, apparently in line with strict interpretations of Shariah law that forbid statues or artwork depicting the human form.

    Mannequins probably get treated with more respect in Islam. No vitamin D deficiency either.

    Are those blond, Nordic-like locks hidden now by the “proper” veil? The hated infidels are haram enough without going a step further to emulate their detestable physical characteristics!

    Clothing store window displays probably won’t be necessary in the Islamic State for much longer anyway. Who needs a mannequin to model a basic black burqa? They all look just about the same, don’t they?

    I can just see a bunch of muzzies masturbating in front of the store window.

    Islamic State orders shopkeepers to veil mannequins
    …………………………………….

    Yesterday a poster here at Jihad Watch said that we should *never* mock Islam and Muslims—that it was Infidels mocking the “Prophet” that caused Jihad in the first place.

    Not only is this ludicrous and false, but how can any rational person *not* mock these primitive barbarians?

    The worst thing, of course, is that this absurd diktat is not just analogous to some silly, extreme form of prudery, like putting skirts on your piano legs or pants on short-tailed dogs—because you can be sure that this demand was *backed up by threats* on the shopkeepers property or persons.

    With the “Caliphate” we are seeing Islam in its most naked form, with savage brutality and laughable irrationality both in ample evidence.

    what a bunch of idiots they are…. that said here is a joke and get some laugh out of it:

    A man goes to a sex toy store.
    I like to buy a female doll.
    Clerk: A white doll or a black doll?
    White doll please.
    Would you like a muslim doll or a christian doll?
    What is the difference?
    Clerk: muslim dolls blow them selves up!!!!!!!! M

    While this is OT, I feel it is one of the best things said about muslims. It is so true….m
    1. If you refine heroin for a living,
    but you have a moral objection to liquor,
    You may be a Muslim.

    2. If you own a $3,000 machine gun and a $5,000 rocket launcher,
    but you can’t afford shoes,
    You may be a Muslim.

    3. If you have more wives than teeth,
    You may be a Muslim.

    4. If you wipe your butt with your bare hand
    but consider bacon to be unclean,
    You may be a Muslim.

    5. If you think vests come in two styles:
    Bullet-proof and suicide.
    You may be a Muslim

    6. If you can’t think of anyone
    you haven’t declared jihad against,
    You may be a Muslim.

    7. If you consider television dangerous
    but routinely carry explosives in your clothing,
    You may be a Muslim.

    8. If you were amazed to discover that cell phones
    have uses other than setting off roadside bombs,
    You may be a Muslim.

    9. If you have nothing against women
    and think every man should own at least four,
    You may be a Muslim.

    10. If you find this offensive and don’t forward it,
    You may be a Muslim.

    It’s not that all uncommon to see mannequins in Western store displays that do not have heads (they presumably cost less than the full bodied type). I’ve joked in past, that these must be Muslim mannequins. Now I find it’s not a “joke” anymore.

    • gravenimage says

      Jul 23, 2014 at 6:18 pm

      It’s not so much cost, Xero G—more just a matter of style. But yes—just one more thing that islam renders unintentionally creepy.

    “…in line with strict interpretations of Shariah law that forbid statues or artwork depicting the human form.”

    From the Small Victories Dept

    I have written a dozen e-mails pointing out this Islamic rule against depictions of the human form when the media was claiming idolatry to be at issue in cases where it obviously wasn’t. This is the first time I’ve seen the MSM acknowledge such a rule. Perhaps some are getting tired of lying for Islam? Dare I hope some truth will finally out?

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Jul 23, 2014 at 12:42 am

      Muslims, within the West, rely a lot on the “pester factor”.

      But there’s no reason we Islamosavvy Infidels can’t use it too, on politicians, academics, journalists, the works. Especially when there’s more of us, right now, than there are of the Muslims.

      Pester pester pester and never, never stop.

      Because it *works*.

    Do they have to be accompanied by a male relative mannequin?

    • Peter Shearer says

      Jul 23, 2014 at 7:12 pm

      Hi Gerard. I think the real question is:

      If a Muslim male rapes one of these female mannequins will the Sharia court require four female mannequins to testify to the rape before it is established.

      Side issue questions:

      1. Does the ‘man’ in mannequin change the computation of required witnesses at all?

      2. Is there any way of telling whether these mannequins are Shia or Sunni? Shouldn’t ISIS be on the lookout for Shia apostate mannequins?

      3. Come to think of it, how come ISIS is allowing mannequins in the first place? Isn’t that idolatry? Sounds like Bid’ah to me. ISIS members may be mushrikuns. I hope the Islamic world figures this out real quick and gives ISIS the pounding it deserves. No wait, I hope ISIS gives the the other Islamists the pounding they deserve. No wait, I hope . . .

      • CornHolio says

        Jul 23, 2014 at 7:23 pm

        No no no. Clearly you don’t understand the intricacies of sharia jurisprudence.
        The issue is not the number of male witnesses, it’s the character of the so-called “victim”.
        What sort of mannequin is she? I’m pretty sure a competent defense lawyer would be able to take her apart in cross, what with her constantly being “on display” out in public without a male guardian, her terrible mosque attendance record, her affinity for clingy, revealing clothes? Come ON. This is a slam dunk! She was clearly asking for it!

        Plus she would do terribly under questioning on the stand, doubly unable to speak in her defense (being a female and non-sentient plastic).

        Hey! I could be a Sharia defense lawyer!

        • Peter Shearer says

          Jul 23, 2014 at 7:45 pm

          Touché Cornholio. I surrender to your greater philoshopical insight. Normally I don’t frequent boutiques & shops so I never had the opportunity to acquire insight into what brazen hussies mannequins actually are. Thank you for enlightening me.

          Regarding your supposition that you could be a Sharia defense lawyer: that may be so, but may that possibility never appear on your horizon. Just remain your natural good self and continue to be a useful advocate against Sharia. That is far more rewarding.

        • CornHolio says

          Jul 23, 2014 at 7:59 pm

          Well maybe I could work from within by being a really lousy sharia defense attorney.

          “Your honour, my client would like to have you recuse yourself from hearing his case.”
          “On what grounds?”
          “Well, he’s not 100% sure, but he thinks there’s a good chance he hired your wife as an escort while on vacation in Tel Aviv.”

        • Peter Shearer says

          Jul 23, 2014 at 11:40 pm

          That would definitely work but just in case make sure you can make a speedy exit just in case the Sharia judge considers shooting the messenger.

  18. gerard says

    Jul 22, 2014 at 6:22 pm

    A Muslimah concealing a backpack beneath her burkha turns to her fellow Muslimah and asks: “Does my bomb look big in this”?

  19. CornHolio says

    Jul 22, 2014 at 7:11 pm

    This is wrong. The real danger is not having to stone the mannequins if they force pious Muslim men to rape them. That’s no big deal. The real danger is to the Muslim male organ, and all the damage it can sustain, as the suddenly-crazed Muslim male crashes thought the store window and “temporarily marries” these mannequin temptresses. Just think of all the glass and plastic splinters.

    Maybe ISIS can also clean up the high fashion industry. I’d like to see some more modest runway shows, like maybe an all black-burka “Victoria’s Very Well-Kept Secret” fashion show?

    PS
    Just had a thought. Do Muslim garbage-bag makers avoid the classic black color? You would think that would be wise, picking another color to avoid the inevitable titivating associations?

    “Ali? What are you doing in there!?”
    “Uhh…. Nothing!… Just taking out the trash!”

    How long before animals like camels are required to wear veils or burkas? Given the popularity of beastiality in Islam, I wonder if many Muslim men feel compelled to rape the nearest camel?

      I’m afraid that the poor, inoffensive donkeys probably suffer much more from this particular perversion.

    Thanks Isis for that solution to restore the universal order. I now feel empowered to “come out” about my shameful serial dalliances with these floozies. The solution was there all along but it took Isis to set the solution in place. I guess a few of you are wondering just how I go about getting it off with these temptresses. Alas I have amnesia after the fact and I only know I awaken partly dress and with a power drill in my hand. Oh the shame. It’s a win win outcome because now the mannequins will get to keep their unbowed heads. Thanks Isis, now I know you guys are really the saviours of all mankind. how could I have been so wrong. PS I am now becoming strangely attracted to male mannequins. I await Isis Fatwa on this one. Stay tuned.

    Just when I thought Islam couldn’t get any more ridiculous/disgusting, then comes this order, OMG – Let them have their caliphate in northern Iraq, then lets build a 40ft high fence around it so their 7th Cent ideology cannot get out…turn off all electricity, cell phns, tv’s, education, etc and let them only have the Qu’ran to read destroy everything that’s been invented or evolved over the past 1400 years and let them live the the stone age. They can’t have it both ways; camel burgers anyone? I wonder if its because those rag heads have no self control over themselves and have to destroy temptation?…

      If you and the hubby want a chuckle or two, try the following post. It is a bit dated but still relevant. I’m sure Jane Austen would approve:
