Ban the Burka!

A recent study by the Gallop Center of Muslim studies showed that 53 percent of Americans view Islam unfavorably. Of those polled - 91 percent view Christianity favorably, 71 percent viewed Judaism favorably, 58 percent viewed Buddhism favorably. However, only 42 percent of Americans viewed Islam favorably. James Zoby, president of the Arab America Institute feels that part of that view is fed by commentators voicing anti-Islamic rhetoric and that they should be kept off the airways. Mr. Mogahed of the Gallop Center feels that extremists of other religions are represented as merely not being part of he mainstream while Islamic terrorists are represented as being representative of their religion. Mr. Mogahed the difference is: Christian and Jewish extremists are "devout" while Islamic extremists are, as you say, "terrorists", terrorists representative of their nations governments. There's a reason to separate church and state. We're talking unflattering curls vs. Molotov cocktails. Christian extremists created Santa Claus and elves. Christians and Jews feast and exchange gifts. You fast which is a religious word for "starve" yourself. Before you board a plane, have a cookie and a glass of milk.

It is the responsibility of any organization to discourage extremism and keep it's extremists in-check. Islamic nations appear to either ignore it, elect it or covertly fund it. Islam is not like Christianity, Judaism or Buddhism. It is no longer a religion. It has become a political agenda. Head scarfs and veils are extremist representations of repressive, 11th century Islamic beliefs in the 21st century. France is passing legislation to ban face-covering veils in all public institutions including: mass transport, hospitals, post offices and all buildings offering public services. Veils will be considered secular symbols of extremism and repression. They are an attack on gender equality. If you want us to view Islam favorably, give your women the right to vote, the right to public education, the keys to the car, and the right to show their faces. BTW, we'd all like to fly fucking safe! Airline safety hasn't been compromised by women pissed off about having to maintain kosher kitchens. The kosher kitchen ladies conceptualized and ritualized bris. I can't even tell you what what a Jersey girl would do to you if you tried to circumcise her or stone her for having sex.
