CHICKS AND ISLAM

Kidnapped convert Yvonne Ridley demands respect:

Yvonne Ridley, a former journalist who converted to Islam after being abducted in Afghanistan by the Taliban, said the Metropolitan Police were “terrorizing” the east London neighborhood where the raid was conducted last Friday, Sky News reported Wednesday.

"I don’t think the Muslim community should communicate with the police any more until they start showing some respect,” Ridley said.

Via LGF. Yes, respect is clearly needed. Lots of respect. Massacre those who show no respect! Europe you will pay for not respecting us! Laila Lalami wonders why the West isn’t upset by non-Islamic oppression of women:

The abundant pity that Muslim women inspire in the West largely takes the form of impassioned declarations about “our plight"–reserved, it would seem, for us, as Christian and Jewish women living in similarly constricting fundamentalist settings never seem to attract the same concern.

We’ve gotta do something one day about those fundamentalist settings. Meanwhile, mourn the constrictions in this World Cup picture gallery.

  1. Huh.  I know lots of nominally or fundamentally Christian & Jewish women....can’t recall any who are treated like dogs and not let out of the house though.

  2. Mostly O/T, overheard as I passed a radio this morning—we got Zarkawi.  Al-Qaida’s headhacking ‘emeer of Iraq’ is worm food.

  3. The only subject Yvonne Ridley is qualified to discuss is Stockholm Syndrome.

  5. Hey! Leave off Laila. She’s dead right. We should be especially concerned about “Christian and Jewish women living in similarly constricting fundamentalist settings”. No doubt she’s talking about these women living as members of the al-Dhimma in Muslim lands; the conditions of their existence laid down in the Pact of Umar. Constricting, indeed.

  8. The one thing this silly cow (and assorted Muslim leaders within the Dhimmi west) don’t get is this:

    The terrorists don’t trouble themselves at all to avoid killing fellow Muslims. Your ordinary law abiding Muslim who goes to work, raises his family, leads a peaceful life etc is just as likely to be blown up by these clowns as anyone else. He has as much self-interest in helping the police root out these problems.

    I have no idea how supportive the Muslim community in Britain and other western countries is to the police. I imagine any support the police is getting from inside is kept quiet, and for good reasons.

    But encouraging them not to cooperate is just plain irresponsible.

  9. I don’t think anyone in the Muslim community should communicate with Yvonne Ridley until she defines what she means by “respect”.

  11. I guess it’s lost on her that females born into Christian and Jewish (and for that matter, Mormon) traditions are free to choose another faith more to their liking.

    As she was.  Was.

  15. i dont understand why these islamic fucknuts dont put a big voodoo on soccer since its an evil satanic invention of the west.

    all those islamic nations like iran and saudia arabia and libya and egypt and nigeria love their soccer and would never dream of pulling out from this decadent western pastime.

    are soccer balls made from pig skins??
