The mayor of Cannes has banned burkinis from the beaches of the French Riviera resort famous for its annual film festival, which took place in May this year. The ban comes as a result of the nearby jihadi attacks in Nice and on the church where a priest was beheaded. The disruption of public order over public display of the burkini was cited as a reason.
Thierry Migoule, head of municipal services for the town, stated: “We are not talking about banning the wearing of religious symbols on the beach … but ostentatious clothing which refers to an allegiance to terrorist movements which are at war with us.” Although this argument is sure to raise concerns within and outside of France about democratic rights, there needs to be a public discussion about the truth of Migoule’s assertion. France has been jolted by jihad attacks, which has created a public safety dilemma and unnerved the public, and has taken a toll on the tourism industry; foreign tourists are now said to be shunning France.
Western political correctness and the failure of authorities to target the jihad war against Western infidels has not only resulted in tragedies and deaths; it is inevitably leading to reactionary measures, as we see with the burkini ban, as well as in rising government and media concerns about so-called “far right extremists.”
Even in Egypt, concern about the public statement that was being made by those wearing overt Islamic garb such as the niqab became a public security issue following a rise in jihad attacks in recent months. This led to a push to ban the niqab in Egypt, supported by Parliamentarians in the Egypt Support Coalition, loyal to President al-Sisi.
“Burkinis banned on France’s Cannes beaches by mayor”, UK Telegraph, August 11, 2016:
The mayor of Cannes has banned the wearing of burkinis – full-body swimsuits – on the beaches of the French Riviera resort famous for its annual film festival, officials said on Thursday.
Mayor David Lisnard signed off on the ruling that “access to beaches and for swimming is banned to anyone who does not have (bathing apparel) which respects good customs and secularism”, which is a founding principle of the French republic.
“Beachwear which ostentatiously displays religious affiliation, when France and places of worship are currently the target of terrorist attacks, is liable to create risks of disrupting public order (crowds, scuffles etc) which it is necessary to prevent,” it says.
Thierry Migoule, head of municipal services for the town, sought to clarify the ruling’s intent.
“We are not talking about banning the wearing of religious symbols on the beach … but ostentatious clothing which refers to an allegiance to terrorist movements which are at war with us,” he said.
On July 14 the nearby Riviera city of Nice was the target of an attack claimed by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil), which killed 85 people, when a truck ploughed into seafront crowds celebrating the French national holiday.
On July 26 a priest was killed in his church in northwestern France by two attackers who had proclaimed their allegiance to Isil.
Islamic dress is a contentious issue in France, where the full-face veil is banned in public places. But there is no ban on wearing religious symbols or clothing…

No, UK Telegraph, a muslim jihadi driver deliberately ploughed into the crowds.
His ideology is the same as that of the burqini-wearers. It is at war with the West.

Islamic clothing is turning into a fetish like Zentai Japanese Fetish fashion (incognito). Now would Muslims adopt Zentai and would France ban Japanese fetishism?

The unstated premise behind this action is that Burkinis and Burkas (standard traditional Islamic dress) represents allegiance to terrorism, ie that terrorism and standard Islam are basically on the same side, they are one faction.

Infidel from Down Under says
About time someone made a stand.Mayor David Lisnard needs to be congratulated !
dumbledoresarmy says
Exactly.
He needs to receive a flood of emails and letters from all over the world expressing support for his banning of Mohammedan Mobster Gang Uniform from the beach at Cannes. French and other European jihadwatchers must express their great pleasure at the concept of a ‘burkini’-free beach where Infidel style and sensibilities prevail. (*This* will indicate to him that keeping his beaches free of burqas, niqabs and ‘burkinis’ might mean … **more infidel citizens and tourists coming to enjoy said beaches**).
Get behind him and push! If *he* can establish and maintain this ban, perhaps every other beach in France, Italy, and elsewhere might follow suit. Tell him, though, that he *will* need to be prepared to enforce it rigorously and impose real punishments on those who flout it; he will have to make sure he has sufficient forces on hand to deal with any mohammedan male mobsters who attempt to gin up an insta-riot if a jihad tart flouts the ban and is arrested and fined.
If Muslim Mob camp followers claim that it’s about ‘modesty’ (rather than about flaunting their Gang Colours in our faces) and genuinely don’t want to go topless or wear a string bikini, fine; not all infidel females do that either; there are plenty of other infidel styles to choose from (e.g. the elegant one-piece swimsuits popular in the 1940s and 1950s).
Seamus says
I wonder whether they could get away with wearing suits like these: http://meanttobemodest.com/Swimsuits.html
Jim Jatras says
A commendable effort but a bit of a half-measure. If France is to survive, they must decree beaches to be all nude, all the time. Sure, it may be a bit of overkill, but we all have to make sacrifices . . . {{;-{)}}}

Thank you those things are an eye-sore anyway
Carmel says
Good news . So , sometimes we have some victories.
dumbledoresarmy says
One thing the French understand perfectly is the social and political significance of clothing.
Their burka/ niqab ban – and now this burkini ban on one iconic beach (and may that ban quickly spread ot all the *other* beaches in France!) – is not trivial. It gets right to the heart of the matter.
It is a pushback against what I call ‘Islamoforming’. It is all about the ‘power of context’.
All European jihadwatchers here posting and lurking need to commend encourage and support the French in this matter; and press their *own* public authorities to emulate it.
Because if our authorities can just get some practice with saying NO to the Mohammedan Mob, and mean it, in *one* aspect of life, then it will be easier to say NO to the Mohammedan Mob in *other* areas, later on.
epistemology says
Couldn’t agree more DDA. Lots of companies have dress codes including the armies all over the world and I think dress codes in public are appropriate in public places as well when they convey a message. The message is clear we don’t want your terrorist lifestyle, we prefer our civilised way of life, so adapt or go.
I wish other countries would follow suit and after all those terror attacks Germany should ban the full veil but the German politicians still don’t dare it. They’re very stupid, I’m fed up with their pusillanimity.
JSteering says
A brilliant analysis. It may be a small step but France is taking the lead in fighting back against Islamist supremacy. Such a move would be unthinkable here in politically correct, “multicultural”, diversity-obsessed Britain where Muslims have become a protected species that no one dare criticise. A couple who put bacon on a mosque door were given jail sentences of nine and twelve months. That is Britain in 2016.

Wow, that Muslima is one daring hot chick!. Showing her nose in public – scandalous! This is an insult to Mohammed – she’d never get away with that in Saudi Arabia. She should be stoned to death, or burned at the stake.

In all probability, that’s a kafir woman modeling for a burkini.
Linde Barrera says
At least this mayor of Cannes is showing some strength by banning the burkini. Good for him! Now contrast that with Manuel Valls, French Minister of the Interior, who was quoted as saying “We will have to learn to live with the terror.” What an idiotic statement to make by a French government official. ?
Mitch says
In France it’s illegal to wear a Nazi uniform and there’s no controversy over that.
dumbledoresarmy says
Yep.
Mohammedan gang uniform, – be it the Muslim female slave rag in all its forms (from the faux-demure hijab that deceptively mimics the nun’s wimple, all the way through to the full burqa) or the elements affected by males such as the jihad beard, the white pyjamas or arab-style robe, the kefi, the ankle-baring trousers – *is* Gang Uniform, and, indeed, is the functional equivalent of a Swastika armband or the KKK hood and robe.
Right now, across the world, everywhere there is a significant-sized colony of Mohammedans in Infidel countries, the Mohammedans who flaunt the uniform of the Allah Gang, the Empire of Islam, in public are issuing a *threat* to every infidel they encounter.
Jay Boo says
Muslim CLOWN suits at prayer time.
“Oh BTW I am going to pray” song & dance routine.
If a Muslim prays five times a day and no one knows of it will he still pray every day. Of course not. Islam is not really about Allah or even religion. It is all about politics and bloodshed.
Mr Flagio says
Very good move. This should set an example for more actions like this.
If you were to allow burkinis everywhere the next thing Muslims will demand is their very own beach areas or they would demand that infidel women cover up at beaches. Maybe they would start Sharia beach controls.
Also, the burkini is a symbol of the religious suppression of Islamization. Women were not required to wear this in Iran in the 60s 70s for example. http://transhumanisten.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/iranian-woman-before-revolution.jpg

Thierry Migoule: “We are not talking about banning the wearing of religious symbols on the beach … but ostentatious clothing which refers to an allegiance to terrorist movements which are at war with us.”
If you’re lost in translation allow me to clarify the unintelligible. What Thierry Migoule is really saying is that the mayor of Cannes has been granted, by virtue of his position as mayor, the unlimited and unchecked discretion to impose a wide ranging and arbitrary ban on attire solely for the sake of protecting liberty. Those affected by the ban are mere collateral damage.

billybob says
Who cares about those affected by the ban? They are part of the problem, rather than a part of the solution. It is like banning the wearing of gang colours (Hell’s Angels, Outlaws, Bandidos) , which are banned in North America and perhaps elsewhere.
A person in readily recognizable Muslim dress is saying loud and clear “I am a Muslim”, “Muhammad is my prophet – and the perfect example to model my life after” . Then when we pause to consider what kind of person Muhammad was, we understand the necessity of the ban…
“Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…
Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”

“Beachwear which ostentatiously displays religious affiliation, when France and places of worship are currently the target of terrorist attacks, is liable to create risks of disrupting public order (crowds, scuffles etc) which it is necessary to prevent,” it says.
This is a good argument to make. One that has been used in the UK for nefarious purposes (see Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer being refused access because “it is not conducive to the public good.”) All sorts of things can be banned if the authorities fear public order issues. So perhaps it is an argument that everyone needs to make to the authorities over and over. Sharia finance, schools, halal food, clothing, grants, all sorts, is not conducive to the public good, and could disrupt public order. Therefore must be stopped.
steve says
A Saudi Arabian, funded Mosque, was opened in Cannes, yes IN CANNES, only TWO weeks before the Islam inspired slaughter of families on Cannes seafront. Obviously all ideas that Islam can be integrated in any way with Western societies has been proved wrong . The Muslim, mosque-terror-nest must be bulldozed immediately as a measured response. Is there not one bereaved, Cannes Frenchman angry enough to arrange the total eradication of this vile edifice which has been built to promote and display the power and brutality of the Islamic cult of death, in this instance the calculated ,merciless deaths of local French men. women, and children.
Iftikhar Ahmad says
We live in a shrunken world and millions of people are on the move; one of our biggest challenges is how we learn to live in proximity to difference – different skin colours, different beliefs and different way of life. According to a study by COMPAS, Muslims born and educated were given the impression of outsiders. The perception among Muslims is that they are unwelcome in Britain is undermining efforts to help them integrate into wider society. Most of them say that they have experienced race discrimination and religious prejudice. Muslims and Islam is promoted a fundamentalist and separatist by the western elite, which have negative impact on community and social cohesion. The number of racist incidents occurring in London Borough of Redbridge’s schools have reached their highest levels since record begin.
People are people, regardless of where they were born, what colour their skin is, or whatever religion. All deserve respect. Tolerance in Sweden/Britain is an illusion. The problem isn’t immigrants not adapting to British culture, it’s Brits showing much disrespect and scorn to those who are of any immigrant background. even if an immigrant was well versed in English, knew the customs etc. would they still get employment? No. Would Brits treat them as a decent human? No. So why would they want to assimilate into a culture that is constantly tearing them down? Multiculturalism is not about integration but about cultural plurality. It is not about separation but about respect and the deepening awareness of Unity in Diversity. Each culture will maintain its own intrinsic value and at the same time would be expected to contribute to the benefit of the whole society.
A vast majority of people in this world just want to live their lives with their families and friends, and don’t give a hoot about what other people do, as long as they can go on with their families and friends. I find it almost impossible to believe that most Muslims want to kill people who don’t share their views. The matter at hand is how to change the mind-set of people so a higher percentage does not turn to violence. One should not lump all individuals of any particular Faith in with the violent actions of a few misguided individuals who USE Religion to justify their violent actions. Every now and then a Muslim kills in the US and some people jump on ALL Muslims, as though WHITES, CHRISTIANS or otherwise, do not kill. They forget that non-Muslim killing far outnumbers Muslim killing in the US. They call for the expulsion of Muslims. The BEST SOLUTION would be for all FOREIGNERS to go back to their roots and return the country to the original AMERICAN NATIVES. Is this not a FAIR PROPOSAL? LOL! You white Christians have destroyed the Native Americans and it is only fair and right that YOU be destroyed by other communities.
West must learn to respect and tolerate those who are different.In France Muslim girls are not allowed to cover their heads. This is called liberalism. During the time of Taliban in Afghanistan, women were forced to cover themselves and this is called extremism by the west. In Britain, Muslim women are allowed to cover themselves but there is an immense social, emotional and economic pressure, forcing them not to cover. West is the Mongols of our time. The new Mongols are far worse than the first one. This new Mongols are trying to destroy Islamic identity of the Muslim youths. A large number of them have changed their names and there is no shortage of ex-Muslims in the west. Ex-Muslim council receives state funding.
Prejudice against Islam in the West developed due to historic rivalry of Christianity against Islam. The defeat of Christians by the Muslims in Crusades was a big shock for the Christian world. These deep wounds are still so fresh in the Christian world today that the parents, media, politicians and teachers feel it a duty to nurture the feelings of prejudice against Islam in the hearts and minds of their young generations. According to Runnymede Trust, Britain has become “an institutionally Islamophobic” society in which Muslims are demonised. Hostility towards Muslims is still a major problem and is not being taken seriously enough by race relations bodies. According to Dr. Richard Stone, there is now renewed talk of a clash of civilizations, a new global cold war, and mounting concern that the already fragile foothold gained by Muslim communities in Britain is threatened by ignorance and intolerance. According to John Gieve of the Home office, Islamic extremism might be a “symptom of disaffection”. The same disaffection previously surfaced during the riots that shook Oldham and Bradford in 2001.
Jews and Christian scholars, the so called Western Orientals have always tried to mispresent Islam in their writings. They have always tried to spread baseless lies against Islam in a very authentic and scholarly style, hiding their deep rooted hatred against Islam. They have called all efforts to restore pure Islam in Muslim countries as “fundamentalist movements” against modern-day material progress and economic development. Lacy O’Leary in the book “Islam at the cross road”: “history makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myth that historians have ever repeated.” Even Gandhi refuted the false propaganda, otherwise, one could not find even a single Hindu or non-Muslim in the Indian sub-continent and on top of that Sikhism could not dare to emerge as a religion. India would be the largest Muslim country in the world. In the 20th century new images emerged, the fanatical terrorist, the stone-thrower and the suicide bomber. According to Lord Carey, there was a deep-rooted Islamophobia in Britain. There is a worrying ignorance of Muslim people and suspicion of their presence in the United Kingdom. It is assumed by many that Muslims wish to take over ‘our country and if we allow them to enter Britain in significant numbers they will in time make the country Islamic’.
Mr. Denis MacShane, the Minister for Europe urged British Muslims to adopt the “British norms” and not the way of the “terrorists”, in other words “Islamic way”. He provoked Muslims to choose between the “British way” and the way of terrorism.” Monica Ali’s, who was mis-educated and de-educated by the British education system, portrays Bangladeshi Muslims in Brick Lane as backward, uneducated and unsophisticated. This is the main reason why her book was selected for Guardian First Book Award. The content of the book is a despicable insult to Bengali Muslims at home and abroad. The book can be compared to Salman Rushdie’s Stannic Verses. The combined forces of racial discrimination and Islamophobia have been awesome in the marginalisation and alienation of the Muslim community. Muslims made to feel like an enemy within by Islamophobic attitudes. Hardening prejudice against Islam is creating a dis-affected underclass of young Muslims “time-bombs” likely to explode into violence, according to a recent report. Life for Britain 1.6 million Muslims has never been easy. For decades they have struggled in the face of discrimination in all walks of life. West is not based on Judaeo-Christian civilisation. This term should be abandoned to be replaced by Judaeo-Christian-Islamic civilisation. The new language should be used in all venues starting with media, academic statements by politicians, church leaders and Imams of Masajid. These are the words that define how we are related to each other’s.
Through out the modern history, Muslims have contributed for the Renaissance of Western culture and society. Islamic values are not only compatible with the western values they are almost identical. Islamic ideas helped shape the European West that produced the values cherished by the constitution’s framers. Western culture is infact based on Muslim culture. The aim of education is to give the highest possible standard in order to advance spiritually, emotionally, technologically and economically. The early Muslim knew this and they were instrumental in giving the west much of the scientific knowledge that has once helped it to thrive.
Bernard Shaw once said that the future religion of the West would be Islam and only Islam. Islamophobia is guiding Westerners towards that end.
They study with open mind the Holy Quran and Islamic literature and poetry. Islam is a force fighting Imperialism. Read the greatest book of revolution:
The Holy Quran. Meet the greatest revolutionary of all times: Muhammad (peace be upon him). In America a great number of universities, colleges
and schools are offering Islamic Studies courses. There is a possibility that in the near future half of native population would revert to Islam. In fact Islamophobia is a blessing in disguise.

Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:
“One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion.

He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth.

Breathtaking.

Perhaps you were born and raised as a Muslim in a “Western” country, and do not know how non-muslims are treated in Islamic majority countries like Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, ……..
Incredibly, you wrote:

The idea that Islam could not be violent because they have yet to wipe out every single Infidel all over the world is, of course, absurd.
And the fact is that Islam *has* rendered many parts of the globe “Infidel-rein”, including Afghanistan, Yemen, and Somalia.
Muslim states drove out most of the surviving Jews in 1948.
It has taken Islam centuries to drive out and murder all Infidels in many stretches of Dar-al-Islam, but many now come quite close. The Armenian Genocide wiped out most of the remaining Christians in Anatolia; there are only a pathetic remnant of Hindus, Christians, and Sikhs left in Pakistan, despite their having made up a significant part of the population as recently as 1947; and as we speak the last of the Christians are being driven out and slaughtered in Iraq, in Syria, and in the Islamic State.

Mr. Denis MacShane, the Minister for Europe urged British Muslims to adopt the “British norms” and not the way of the “terrorists”, in other words “Islamic way”. He provoked Muslims to choose between the “British way” and the way of terrorism.”
…………………………..
How *dare* British Infidels ask that of Muslims…
More;
Monica Ali’s, who was mis-educated and de-educated by the British education system, portrays Bangladeshi Muslims in Brick Lane as backward, uneducated and unsophisticated. This is the main reason why her book was selected for Guardian First Book Award. The content of the book is a despicable insult to Bengali Muslims at home and abroad. The book can be compared to Salman Rushdie’s Stannic (sic) Verses.
…………………………..
Ahmad is, of course, *enraged* that such “blasphemy” against Islam is allowed in the lands of the “filthy Infidels”. Certainly, this would not be allowed in Dar-al-Islam.
More:
The combined forces of racial discrimination and Islamophobia have been awesome in the marginalisation and alienation of the Muslim community. Muslims made to feel like an enemy within by Islamophobic attitudes. Hardening prejudice against Islam is creating a dis-affected underclass of young Muslims “time-bombs” likely to explode into violence…
…………………………..
In other words, Jihad violence is all the fault of its victims.
Except, of course, it is not. Muslims are waging violent Jihad against Kuffar all over the world, and have been for 1400 years now.

West is not based on Judaeo-Christian civilisation. This term should be abandoned to be replaced by Judaeo-Christian-Islamic civilisation.
…………………………..
Never mind that Islam has *nothing* to do with Judea-Christian values, and that Islam destroys Judeo-Christian values–not to mention Jews and Christians themselves–wherever it gains the upper hand.
More:
The new language should be used in all venues starting with media, academic statements by politicians, church leaders and Imams of Masajid. These are the words that define how we are related to each other’(sic).
…………………………..
Once again, Muslims like Iftikhar Ahmad expose the fact that they understand *nothing* about free societies. The West does not impose the use of particular phrases. This thug lets the mask slip over and over again.
The term “Judeo-Christian” is widely used, but is *not* mandated by the press, any political party, or any church.
More:
Through out the (sic) modern history, Muslims have contributed for (sic) the Renaissance of Western culture and society.
…………………………..
Muslims’ only contribution to the Renaissance was the savage conquest of Constantinople in 1453, which resulted in so many Greek scholars fleeing to the West. Muslim pirates enslaving our ships led to the formation of the American navy. Is Iftikhar Ahmed *sure* he wants to pursue these Muslim “contributions” to the civilized West?
And the fact that he is supposed to be an “educator” and yet is so illiterate is very telling.
More:
Islamic values are not only compatible with the western values they are almost identical. Islamic ideas helped shape the European West that produced the values cherished by the constitution’s framers. Western culture is infact based on Muslim culture.
…………………………..
What a *grotesque lie*. Nothing could be more inimical to the West than sacrlized oppression, slavery, and murder.
More:
Bernard Shaw once said that the future religion of the West would be Islam and only Islam.
…………………………..
Iftikhar Ahmad has posed this claptrap here before. This is supposedly from a book called “The Genuine Islam” from 1936 that quotes Shaw as saying that Muhammed was the “Savior of Humanity” who would have succeeded in solving all the world’s problems if he “were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world”.
But the International Shaw Society has affirmed that these quotes are bogus. In the article–not book–that is cited, the quotes appear *without attribution*.
In fact, Shaw’s views on Islam were *very* different. Writing to Reverend Ensor Walters in 1933, he wrote: “Islam is very different, being ferociously intolerant…You accepted Allah or you had your throat cut by someone who did accept him…”.
Also, note the Ahmad is even misquoting the bogus quotes. No surprise there.
More:
Islamophobia is guiding Westerners towards that end.
…………………………..
“Islamophobia” is not leading to a Muslim-dominated Europe–violent Jihad is, if we do not do more to defend against it.
More:
They study with open mind the Holy Quran and Islamic literature and poetry. Islam is a force fighting Imperialism.
…………………………..
What irony–there is no creed as imperialistic as is Islam.
More:
Read the greatest book of revolution:
The Holy Quran.
…………………………..
Actually, most of us here *have* read the baleful Qur’an, and understand what a terrible threat Islam is.
More:
Meet the greatest revolutionary of all times: Muhammad (peace be upon him). In America a great number of universities, colleges
and schools are offering Islamic Studies courses. There is a possibility that in the near future half of native population would revert to Islam. In fact Islamophobia is a blessing in disguise.
…………………………..
The US is less than 1% Muslim, and few of these are “reverts”. And that fact is that violent felons in prison are more apt to convert to Islam than are university students. Try again, creep…

Frankly, this action at Cannes is silly. If a girl wants to go into the water fully clothed, let her.
And I speak as someone who would have no problem if an organizer of underaged suicide bombers ought to be publicly hanged if caught.

It is not silly.
The Mohammedan female slave rag is not about modesty. Far from it.
It is about *power*. It is Gang Colours. In the France of today it is the Black Flag of Jihad flown in the face of the French who have suffered the Bataclan massacre, the Charlie Hebdo massacre, the murder of French soldiers and French Jews (including three little children) by an allahu-akbaring thug, Mohammed Merah), and last but not least, the throat-slitting of a French priest in the middle of his historic church.
It is the functional equivalent of someone’s choosing to strut down the street in a KKK hood and robe – or a Swastika armband. It is a *threat*.
Read *this* – which discusses the analysis – by an Iranian-French woman, Chahdortt Djavann – -of the *political* meaning of Islamic female dress as flaunted in the streets and squares of the Infidel world today, and get a clue as to exactly why I think this mayor is right on the money. This is *important*. It is about something that Malcolm Gladwell, in his book ‘Tipping Point’, calls “the power of context”.
N Maruani, “Outlaw the Hijab”, in Jerusalem Post, 7.8.2009.
I quote, at some length:
“In her book Que Pense Allah de l’Europe?, Iranian thinker and French writer Chahdortt Djavann presents first the views of the proponents of the veil.
‘There are those Muslim women who say, “The veil represents my religion, my culture and my identity. It is a sign of modesty, of self-respect, of submission to God. It is a religious duty written in the Koran… [I wear it] out of my own free will…”
‘She [Djavann] also presents the opinions of European intellectuals who defend the veil on the basis of “the right to be different” and “religious freedom,” and who ask, for example, “If body-piercing and displaying one’s navel is allowed, how can the veil be banned?”
‘In response, Djavann points out that no regime has ever forced women to go about with their navels showing, **whereas the veil is imposed [by main force; by threats; by violence up to and including the threat of death – dda] upon several hundred million women around the world.
‘She writes that **the veil cannot be presented as a personal choice, disregarding centuries of Islamic history.** {my emphasis – dda}
‘She adds that it is inappropriate to probe the motivations of every young girl wearing the veil when what is at stake is a political agenda.
‘Djavann explains further: “The veil has never been innocent or innocuous. It has always signified the submission of women to men and the denial of legal rights to women in Islamic countries.””
‘She stresses that while the Islamists did not invent the veil, they have turned it into a weapon and made it the symbol of their cause.
ADDRESSING THE growing phenomenon of veiled [Muslim – dda] women in Europe, Djavann points out its centrality to Islamist propaganda:
“The political, ideological and psychological impact of the veil goes far beyond its appearance… If this weren’t the case, why would the Islamists make it their main focus?… It constitutes a constant call to order by Islamic law.” …
‘Djavann stresses that Islam can exist without the veil, but the Islamist system cannot, because “the veil is the symbol, the flag and the keystone of the Islamic system.”
Let’s just repeat those three crucial statements, the ones that matter, the ones that tell us the instincts of the French – arbiters of fashion for centuries in Europe – are sound.
(1) “The veil has never been innocent or innocuous. It has always signified the submission of women to men and the denial of legal rights to women in Islamic countries.””
2/ “The political, ideological and psychological impact of the veil goes far beyond its appearance… If this weren’t the case, why would the Islamists make it their main focus?… It constitutes a constant call to order by Islamic law.”
Got that, Kepha? No matter what the spin-doctors may say, the Islamic female slave rag is the Sharia Badge. “It constitutes a constant call to order by Islamic law”.
And it is therefore an implicit or explicit *threat* to every NON-MUSLIM – and especially every non-Islamically dressed non-Muslim *female* in the vicinity; because it signifies that the latter, qua ‘uncovered’ (in Islamic terms, not necessarily in *our* terms), are… ipso facto whores and sluts. There to be raped. Even if they are nuns in full habit or Amishwomen or Jewish frum girls or a middle-aged matron like me in my cargo pants and a long=sleeved shirt; it’s **irrelevant**. We are not *Islamically* dressed, therefore we are ‘naked’, therefore, we are Lawful Prey’.
I, a free non-Muslim – Christian – woman, when I see a Muslim female parading in my homeland flaunting the Gang Colours of the Mohammedan Mob, feel very much as a Jew might feel when a Neo-Nazi parades past her with a prominently-displayed Swastika badge. I don’t see ‘modesty’.
Now, back to the final statement by Djavann: who, to repeat, grew up inside Islam, in Islamic Iran:
3/ “…the veil is the symbol, the flag and the keystone of the Islamic system.”
It is just as much a threat and declaration of malevolent intent as would be the black flag of Jihad waved by a bearded Muslim male.
PS: It often seems to me that the veil, the mask, concealment, is in some ways a perfect synecdoche for Islam, which is par excellence the Religion of the Lie, and the Religion of Attack From Ambush.
