Islamic State tightens modesty laws for women
The Jerusalem Post ^ | July 25, 2014

IS terrorists tell women: Don full-face veils, cover hands and feet, wear loose clothing, don't wear perfume, or face punishment.

"The conditions imposed on her clothes and grooming was only to end the pretext of debauchery resulting from grooming and overdressing," said the Islamic State in a statement.

"This is not a restriction on her freedom but to prevent her from falling into humiliation and vulgarity or to be a theater for the eyes of those who are looking."

A cleric in Mosul told Reuters that Islamic State gunmen had shown up at his mosque and ordered him to read their warning on loudspeakers when worshipers gather.

"Anyone who is not committed to this duty and is motivated by glamor will be subject to accountability and severe punishment to protect society from harm and to maintain the necessities of religion and protect it from debauchery," said the Islamic State.

The Islamic State provided guidelines on how women should dress in Mosul, one of Iraq's biggest cities. The hands and feet must be covered. Wear shapeless clothes that don't hug the body. No perfume.

Women have been told to never walk unaccompanied by a male guardian. The Islamic State even ordered shopkeepers to cover their store mannequins with full-face veils.

Beekeepers unite!

LOL!

Islam is a damn joke and should be outlawed!

And Democrats talk about their contrived “war on women”? What do you have to say about this Nancy Pelosi? You dried up skank!

“So if your eye—even your good eye—causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.”

Hyperbole, of course, but an emphasis that it “takes two to tango”.

The Islamic State is denying that the lust takes place in the mind of man, not in the photons traveling between a woman’s hands & feet and the eyes of male passers-by.

As someone once said regarding lustful thoughts, “You cannot prevent the birds from flying over your head, but you can stop them from building a nest in your hair.”

The mid-eastern klansmen’s jihad will advance relentlessly.

Paleo-nazis cleansing their lands.

History unfolding and evidences of an alternative ideology wiped out forever.

The universalism of Islam, in its all-embracing creed, is imposed on the be- lievers as a continuous process of warfare, psychological and political, if not strictly military. . . . The Jihad, accordingly, may be stated as a doctrine of a permanent state of war, not continuous fighting.”— Majid Khadduri - The Quranic Concept of War

Curiously Muslim men tend to drench themselves in perfumes that make them smell like a French whorehouse.

(you’ve gotta smell nice when you go to meet Allah apparently)

~Islamic State tightens modesty laws for women~

They’ve just banned clitoris in Iraq. Is it ever possible to get more modesty than that?

Hillary is so ugly the full face veil would be far better than another face lift.

I posted this on the OFST earlier. Fits here as well.


Doctor’s Exam

A Muslim immigrant goes to a Doctor in Houston, Texas and says “I feel terrible”.

The Doctor examines him and then says “You need to pee and crap in a bucket for a week, throw in a dead fish and a rotting cabbage. Put a towel over your head hold your face over the bucket and inhale the vapors for 3 days”.

The man does this and goes back to the Doctor and says “I feel wonderful!! What was wrong with me?”

“You were homesick”.
