VEIL GANGS OPERATING
The Daily Telegraph’s Luke McIlveen, last week:
If bank robbers had half a clue – and most do not – they would discard the uniform balaclava or motorcycle helmet and embrace the burqa.
It seems the Muslim garment, through which only the eyes can be seen, is the best legal form of identity concealment around.
And the latest news from India:
The Jewellers’ Association of Maharashtra has now asked the police to bar customers wearing veils from entering shops.
“There is a rise in the number of robberies in which veiled customers were involved. In a year, eight to nine such incidents are reported. There is a possibility of two to three veiled gangs operating in the city,” Fatechand Ranka, president of the Jewellers’ Association in Pune was quoted by news agency PTI as saying.
“Due to the veils, these customers cannot be identified by us or police. So we have taken a decision not to allow veiled customers in the shops. And for that, the Association has sought permission in a letter to the state home ministry, state police chief and city police commissioner,” he added.
UPDATE. England is ahead of the curve. This from 2004:
An armed gang wearing burka headdresses escaped with jewellery after a raid on a shop in Halifax.
The three raiders - whose faces were covered by the religious gowns - entered the jewellers in Queen’s Road, Pellon, at 1100 GMT on Monday, asked
to view some gems and then produced a gun …At least two of the raiders, who fled in a car, are believed to be male.
(Via UK commentators)
I’ve always said that people who hide their faces are up to no good. Example: the Ku Kllux Klan.

How will the local plod respond I wonder?

When I die, I want to reincarnate as a cat. No danger of extinction there.

Posted by ElectronPower on 2006 12 28 at 01:54 PM • permalinkWasn’t there a flap a while back (I believe it might have been here in Virginia), about a Muslim woman who insisted on wearing her veil when they were taking her driver’s license picture? I don’t think she prevailed, but if that kind of thing is ever permitted, I swear the next time I have to get my license renewed, I’m going to walk into the Dept. of Motor Vehicles wearing a Goofy mask.
Oh, and to spare you all from making the inevitable response, allow me: “So, Paco, how will they know you’re wearing a mask?”
I thought it was in Florida. But with them pushing the envelope everywhere, it wouldn’t surprise me if it happened here.

Well may you laugh…..... Confronting Muslim males with unveiled females can be messy. In Al Akaria Mall in Riyadh, it was not unknown for an unveiled Western female to provoke a serious exercise in masturbation by the Saudi sales attendant. (In Saudi all the sales attendants are males - even in the stores selling ladies underwear). On separate occasions my wife and two of her friends were the objects of such fantasizing.
Paco. Further tales from the dark side…....... In the Al Akaria Mall was a coffee shop for females - it had a menu on the wall that listed hamburgers. During one of my wife’s visits, a Saudi woman read the menu and began screaming the walls down shouting it was an insult to the prophet to sell ham etc, etc. Such was the intensity of the performance my wife thought it best to leave before the pious one got physical.
EP, re #10, not wishing to insult your tail or anything… but the “Scream and Leap” bit doesn’t work too well for the Jihadis.
And some Kzinret resent their place in society, as do many Islamic females.Kzin Society is a very thinly disguised form of Wahabbism. Think about it, honour killings, slave species, female oppression..
On another note, Dogs have masters, Cats have staff, true. But many end up missing bits after seeing the Vet, so be careful what you wish for.
Then again, considering the op that I had 6 weeks ago (which removed a 4cm pre-cancerous lesion amongst other things) perhaps I shouldn’t talk.
Kzin Society is a very thinly disguised form of Wahabbism. Think about it, honour killings, slave species, female oppression..
So if we kill enough of them they’ll get less violent?

There’s an article in the January (US) edition of Esquire that I highly recommend. It’s the story of Sgt Bryan Anderson, who was injured in Iraq and lost both his legs and his left hand.
I kind of felt guilty. I feel like I took the easy way out, which I know isn’t true, but I wanted to be back there.
It’s a remarkable story.
Forget about Islam. ABC RN’s Paul Barry has been fearlessly investigating the Plymouth Brethren who -wait for it - have been caught ‘INTERFERRING in elections’ in New Zealand and may repeat the danger in Australia.
Gosh, these Christian citizens are putting out legal PAMPHLETS and -shock! - have even done PUSH POLLS.Is Paul going to do a book, for sure, on all citizens interferring in politics - say the Greens, Archbishops, Old Age Pensioner Associations.
We are in a world of dangerous ACTIVISTS - but only the Islamophobes and ‘Pre-Millenial Christians’ are the real problem, apparently.Beware those PBs in your midst…
Paco - #20. Those unlovely thugs, aka the muttawa, aka the religious police did indeed patrol/infest that mall along with every other. They were true intellectuals. They blacked out the word Israel from atlases sold in bookstores thereby making Israel a non-country, deleted any clues from the crosswords in Arab News and the Riyadh Daily if they contained the word cross, Hindu, priest etc, and blacked out from Swissair’s brochures the Swiss cross on the tail of their aircraft.
#20, Paco, and anyone who wants to know more about the repulsive muttawa, check out muttawa.blogspot.com.
The (hilarious) guy who wrote it has departed for the climes of historical novel-writing, but the blog remains. Great writing, great reading.
Posted by carpefraise on 2006 12 28 at 08:24 PM • permalink#19. I thought they were called “hamburgers” because they were first sold in Hamburg?
What next? Will they start screaming about hot dogs because dogs are unclean? Does this mean I can’t eat a hot dog in a taxi if the driver is Muslim?

Mr Hill’s three hundred years old words might usefully be included in police training manuals
(and on big banners in British airport security staff-rooms)
Posted by eeniemeenie on 2006 12 28 at 09:32 PM • permalinkI believe Australia inherited an old British law, still on our books in the 1950s, that allowed citizens to shoot on sight anyone in a hooded disguise. Such disguise was popular with criminals at the time and the law was intended to reduce their numbers. It also made life difficult for monks.
Anybody out there know if it’s still legal for us to shoot disguised villains on sight?#23 Zoe. How about spotted dick?

Veiled gang robbing a service station

The Imam said son, what is your alibi
If you’re a good Muslim, then you won’t have to die
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
I had pretended to be, my best friends wifeI walk with heels in a long black veil
I mourn for my nads when the night winds wail

But, but, but won’t that create a torrent of raging hormones among male jewelry-store clerks, who will leap over the counters in order to ravish unveiled women?
