Following up to Umbrian
you hear in defence that being covered frees them from western body fascism, if that's the right term. But it seems to me Islam just takes everything too seriously, (disclaimer: no doubt other religions do in places and certainly did in the past blah blah). There was a perfectly otherwise reasonable bloke on the radio saying he couldn't fly an England flag* during the world cup as it had a cross on it. For gods sake! (or rather not). No booze, no ogling girls, no wonder they blow themselves up to get to that supply of virgins in heaven. What the hell goes on in a mosque to make people so fanatical?
Rape is an odd business, if a man gets turned on there are simple ways of getting over the problem without attacking women. Todays news, man caught trying to rape a 101 year old woman.
*forget the thing that the english never fly the flag like americans, millions at the moment, although its Engerlands red and white cross of St George, not the funky Union flag. Its been reclaimed from the neo nazi racists, if my mortgage hadnt underperformed I might have a boat to fly it on, not that thats the right flag for boats. -- Mike Reid Shetland, Yell and Unst
