A People's Cube Classic: "Women's Progress Backwards: The Tale of Two Burkas"

Womens_Progress_in_Islam.jpg

This is a rearranged version (mostly to fit the viewable area, plus the title) of a series of photos by a female Yemeni photographer Boushra Almutawakel, who received her education in the United States.

"Having studied in America, Ms Almutawakel has returned to live and work in Sanaa in Yemen. Controversial among Yemenis, her photographs seem designed mainly for a Western audience. See an interview with her here.

Contrast it with the pink Vagina Burkas of the leftist "women's rights" radicals of Code Pink, who, when they are not dressed as vaginas to pursue collectivist identity politics, are often cuddling up to Muslim theocratic dictators.

Code Pink's strategy is the opposite of the Yemeni photographer's: controversial among Americans, their stunts are calculated to reach anti-American foreign audiences.

Intentionally or not, the message sent by their costumes reduces the woman's existence to a single physiological function, stripping her of an individual mind, spirit, and character - a view not very different from the fundamentalist Islamic idea of a woman as merely a veiled reproductive organ. This is hardly coincidental: two militant collectivist philosophies are bound to converge at one point or more.

The only thing missing to make those costumes real is some greenish semi-crusted ejecta coating the proper areas. That and the nose hair curling stink of the unwashed item.

I would love to see all muslim men and all equally hard core muslim women forced, by whatever means are at hand, to wear shit like that and work 12 hours a day in the hot sun. Without water or a break to cool down.

That would be a great way to quickly kill all of them.
