By All Means Ban Burqas

Submitted by Marci (United States), Feb 20, 2008 at 19:34

The burqa is not a Koranic mandate and was not originally a part of Islam. The burqa is a sly invention of the Islamic caliphate to provide males with stealth abilities. By mandating it as women's wear, males were able to easily crossdress to escape and penetrate, usually in service to the mosques, generals and imams. It is used today extensively to smuggle terrorists around the Middle East.

If you've ever wondered why a hairy man like Osama bin Laden has eyebrows that are plucked so femininely, it is because he is routinely dressed in a burqa in full eye makeup and feminine eyebrows, and shuttled safely around in cars. To allow burqas into Western society will only allow stealth enemies to infiltrate our cities, towns, schools, churches and synagogues.
