Is It Cool To Ban The Burqa? Is It Cool… It Is Imperative!
In some Muslim countries, women can be fined, jailed or even stoned for not wearing the Islamic head-to-toe veil known as the Burqa. But the Associated Press reported this week that in France the lower house of parliament overwhelmingly approved a ban on face-concealing Burqa’s as part of an effort to protect French values.
As you might imagine, the move has rankled some in the country’s large Muslim community, though proponents argue that the face-concealing veils – which are worn by less than 2,000 French citizens -- don’t jive with the country’s ideal of women’s equality or its secular tradition. Though mostly popular in France, some critics within the country have argued that conservative president Nicolas Sarkozy has used the xenophobic measure – due to come before the Senate in September, where it is likely to pass -- to attract far-right voters. It might still be defeated if a court finds it unconstitutional and a group representing French Muslims has said that while it doesn’t think full-body Burqa’s are suitable for France, it’s worried that the ban will stigmatize all Muslims.
France, with Europe’s largest Muslim population at around 5 million, would be falling in line with Spain and Belgium, which already have similar bans in the works. The bill passed on Tuesday bythe National Assembly with a 335-1 vote and it bans all face-covering veils everywhere that can be considered public space, even in the street and would carry a $185 fine and citizen ship classes, or both, as a penalty. Husbands and fathers who are found to be forcing someone to wear a Burqa can risk a year in prison and a $38,000 fine, doubled if the victim is a minor. Legislators have worked hard not to single out Muslims by referring to the bill as one to “forbid concealing one’s face in public.”
The French government has said that assimilation is the only path for immigrants and minorities, some of whom have had a difficult time fitting into the country’s culture.
Do you think the Burqa ban in France is fair?
BURQA BAN: French parliament approves ban on face veils. Should more European countries follow France's lead?
Should America approve the ban on face veils? Absolutely!! Let us for once learn from Europe’s mistakes before Sharia takes hold anymore than it already has!!!

One must ask… if there are moderate peaceable Muslims, why do they not speak up and help the people of the countries who have taken them in to stand up and fight against the radicals, against Jihad, against Sharia Law? As was pointed out by Brigitte Gabriel (author of They Must Be Stopped) on Hannity, communities that allow Burqas show an increase in men who are radicals, and it allows the continuation of the subjugation of women and the normalization of these practices and the continual creeping in of Sharia Law into the communities of where these people live.
Gabriel also reiterated that the Mosque at Ground Zero must be stopped and that the Imam at the head of that project is radical and has a radical agenda that is being financed by radicals of 14 International Muslim Countries.

A country as tolerant as America, can not last!
Just like being a Christian does not mean you have to be a doormat and in reality God expects us to stand up for him and others…
Being an American does not mean you have to be a fool and allow everyone to do what they want or let everyone in and in reality survival and patriotism demands self-preservation and preservation of ideals!

ALERT: Islamist Is a Judicial Candidate… ALERT
Wake up Florida!
This guy Shayan Elahi is not the kind of person that should be judge.
You may all know this already, but it is news to me.
The Islamist attorney for the Muslim Bary family is running for Judge here in Orange County (Circuit 9, Group 6). I just drove through downtown and his fliers are plentiful on businesses down there, so I came home and did a little research. I was surprised to learn who he is!
He is the attorney who fought to have Rifqa returned to her family although she was in fear for her life for converting to Christianity. She was returned to Ohio. Here's an article about the trial:

His website features an American flag, the fountain at Lake Eola, and a picture of the Constitution, leading the casual observer to believe he is a > yankee doodle dandy through and through, perhaps even a Tea Party Patriot!
But the site says nothing about his background and very little about his true beliefs.
Here are a few links related to campaign:

I actually called the phone number listed to make sure it was the same guy and he answered and said, yes, he was the attorney in the Bary case. I thanked him and hung up - it so surprised and startled me when I realized who it
was.
The check he wrote to Dept of State for filing fee was not a pre-printed check but address was handwritten, in amount of $5687.17. He reports his income as $34,400. He is his own treasurer! I didn't know that was allowed in campaigns! Also he is not listed as an owner at the address under which he registered.
Curious - he lists on his financial disclosure a student loan to Yeshiva University in New York, which is Jewish! ??? Apparently this is where he got his law degree, but other source says he was a UCF student. I can't find a resume anywhere.
His opponent is Rand Wallis http://www.randwallisforjudge.com/
Educate yourselves and your family and friends who can vote in this
election. Please share.
