Egypt’s Brotherhood declares war on the bikini

http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=235687

"Freedom and Justice" party leader: "We must place regulations on tourists wishing to visit Egypt."..............."

"............"The pharaonic culture is a rotten culture," A-Shahhat told the London-based Arabic daily A-Sharq Al-Awsat on Wednesday, saying the faces of ancient statues "should be covered with wax, since they are religiously forbidden." He likened the Egyptian relics to the idols which circled the walls of Mecca in pre-Islamic times................."

The true face of Islam folks.

While in Egypt back in the day we were allowed a few days off right before we left and got to stay in a nice hotel in Cairo. A handful of the women had brought bikinis and were wearing them at the slightly rowdy party we were having near the pool. The male Egyptian hotel workers were looking at the scantly clad American gals like they had never seen a female before. Some of the women later complained of getting their backsides touched by the workers.

I bet old Brother M. Saad spends some time down at the beaches counting the bikinis. How else would he know they're such a problem.

All they need is a majority folks and the true face if Islam comes out.

And we can't even dry a "line in the sand" to stop them. The tides of Western Liberalism keep erasing it, thereby inviting unceasing encroachment. I probably won't see Sharia in America; I wish I were as sure of that for my brother's children.

Must be why the Egyptians want Eilat - like Abu Dhabi and Dubai, they need a nice, modern, thriving beach resort where they can drink alcohol, gamble, and practice their hedonism away from the disapproving glaring of the local gawd squads.

And so it goes...

I was told this by one of my long time Arab girlfriends after I went on a tirade of the oppression on Arab women after one of my women studies classes. She told me that wearing the hijab and dressing modestly to her was not oppression. She believed that Western Women were more oppressed than their Arab sisters. I dont believe in such a judgement; but, believe one oppression is direct and the other is overt. She went to say that Western women were oppressed to look a certain way, augment their bodies to meet that image, wear certain clothes that made them sexual objects. She felt that men treated her with more respect for being modest compared to her american girlfriends. I find it interesting that we use the conversative values in Egypt that say women shouldn't wear bikinis to spread fear, while politicians have done the same thing in our country.

As an ardent admirer and respectful connoisseur of the healthy and scantily-clad female form, I say they've gone too far this time. Them's fightin' words!

People can find quotes from both sides of the issue that supports their view.

The key is who said it and what was the local reaction.

Here in this country some no-name preacher with a 100 member flock can say he's going to burn the Koran and a Shit Storm erupts. It's news everywhere around the world. Around the world Muslims riot killing many non-Muslims. The vast majority of people in the States are opposed to the act. Everybody's talking about it.

The links that we post quoting Muslims in the Middle East are not some dude at the corner Mosque.

The one in this post is by the equivalent of a senior leader in the DNC or RNC. Not an elected official but somebody high up in the party. There was no fire storm of opposition. I know this is a somewhat weak story but you can search back and find similar stories where similar high level individuals in government or political parties called for all kinds of violence against Jews or the west.

There is no moral outrage by the majority of the governed in a Muslim nation when leaders call for Jihad against Jews or the west. Do they agree? Disagree? Or "Hey do what you want"?

That is the point.

I was not familiar with this company before this post. I thank you for sharing this with us all, Richard.

That is definitely a company and product I can stand behind, or in front of, or next to....just not in.

(grammar be damned on this one)
