3. Nuances…jacobin. If, militarily, I could sit behind computers..distort history..blather profanely..look over at the mirror and puff my chest out…then I could take them all on at once…or one at a time…rather like you..here..eh??? But in the real world. People die. And the answers to your questions, my friend, are out there. Do not wait for them here. Someone with as much anger at the stupidity of others for not sharing your particular point of view, deserves to get out of his chair and get those answers..first hand. Be sure to come back here on your return from asia and share those answers with the good people here.
You ducked my question jacobin. Which proves my point. Hypocrit.
DrD: I am also a medical professional. That burqa suit she’s wearing is useless. The whole point of a medical exam is the exam.
Its amazing how liberals will decry even the slightest mistreatment of women (ie: this so called equal pay for work of equal value is the latest in issue seeking), yet they’ll support the mistreatment of women if they have an offwhite skin tone.

“You ducked my question jacobin”

Haven For Peace: Pakistan just loves the Taliban
The surprising announcement comes as Pakistani army officials announced they were pulling their troops out of the North Waziristan region as part of a “peace deal” with the Taliban.
If he is in Pakistan, bin Laden “would not be taken into custody,” Major General Shaukat Sultan Khan told ABC News in a telephone interview, “as long as one is being like a peaceful citizen.”

should we invade pakistan now?
The plan is to stay the course and don’t talk to anyone on the other side until it’s over in 2050.
the LONG WAR
who are these islamofascist ready to take over the world and make us wear parkas
In the eight months ending last May, Justice attorneys declined to prosecute more than nine out of every 10 terrorism cases sent to them by the FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal agencies. Nearly 4 in 10 of the rejected cases were scrapped because prosecutors found weak or insufficient evidence, no evidence of criminal intent or no evident federal crime.

“–not at all, I don’t approve of the Taliban form of government, however to equate them with all other Arab countries is a lie.”
I realize you are debating several people at once here but I think you are playing a little fast and loose with history and the truth.
Egypt, Turkey and Iraq are far from being secular societies. They all have suffered and continue to suffer to varying degrees under the same despicable societal rules as the Taliban endorsed. I do not believe that any one of those societies even comes remotely close to being equal to our Western culture or comparable to woman’s fight for equality in the West. Can I assume you are playing Devils advocate here or do you truly believe that these quasi democracies are equal to us.
To this day Egypt and Turkey still recognize women as property, Iraq, under Sadam had his death squads, rape/torture rooms and butchered women for sport. Lebanon may be close, but it also contains a large proportion of ‘Christian’ Lebanese who have been a moderating factor there. But women’s rights basically do not exist even there.
The year is 2006; the ME has had the same time and opportunities to get it right as we have. They have failed miserably and let us face the facts, it’s their religion that is the problem, not the West, or the boogy-man, it is there religious ideology period.

that was in response to
“Your ridiculous attempts at equating our civilization and history with the Arabs is laughable”
–which i replied
“–not at all, I don’t approve of the Taliban form of government, however to equate them with all other Arab countries is a lie.”
–and no i do not believe that these quasi democracies are equal to us, nor are they equal to the taliban
–however, people are trying to create a climate of fear, that all muslim nations are terrorist states with no human rights, and that is false
‘Have been away and have had time to read only a about three-quarters of the posts here.
But a few things come to mind:
1) How do you know who’s under this thing? ‘Could be a female, but could also be a male, who could have “things,” meaning concealed weapons, under it.
2) Vis a vis # 1), isn’t this get-up a threat to the security of a hospital? I don’t think I’d like the wo/man(?) in the bed next to me, or across the hall, wearing this thing.
3) Is this a joke? Nothing in Kate’s post indicates that it is, but I can’t help laughing when I see this photo. It’s RIDICULOUS! Can it be for real?
4) Has Britain totally lost its collective mind? Until recently, this would HAVE to have been a joke. It could ONLY have been a joke.

I don’t believe they are trying to create a climate of fear. More like being prudent. When day after day 99% of the terrorist activity in the world(with the exception of South America)is caused by Muslims people become concerned, and rightly so. Inherently your argument that these ME & other countries have human rights is false. They are not real democracies, but instead theocratic governments who use ignorance, fear and religious ideology to supress there populations and that includes Turkey(reason why they are not part of the EU)
In any event the poor bastards living in these third-world dungeons, have by any Western definition no rights, human or otherwise.
…meanwhile, joe looks at his belly button link…
What was this thread about?….Damn….oh, yeah, the eye-slit bhurka thing in hospitals. On that topic, I truly don’t mind and don’t care about anyone else’s particular cultural markers, BUT a draping head-to-toe covering garment that leaves only eye-slits is in real terms a sort of threat.
To not be able to know whether the person underneath is a woman or a man, or if they are who they represent themselves to be is an unacceptable break in the bond of social trust.
If Islamic women wish to remain in a curtained-off area where they are free to show their faces to staff, that’s fine too.
This thing is outrageously pandering to a minority. Who know what is under this gown? A guy? A bomber?
Does it come with it’s own gadget pouch on the inside?
Can any old minority group get special hospital wear designed, or just those that blow up subway trains, buses, airplanes, night clubs and tall buildings?
Not only is this absolutely ridiculous, surrender-monkey-Muslim burqa (forget this “inter-faith” nonsense, unless this hospital begins to allow Christians to wear robes with large crosses on the back and front, preferably red) a security risk, it’s also a health risk.
How is anything supposed to heal under a heavy, humid “tent.” Tents need airing, and how is this going to happen with this germ-infested burqa?
How is it that when it comes to Muslims, and a few other political issues I can think of, we park our brains at the door? What would be TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE in any other population–as I mentioned earlier, how about an inter-faith gown with crosses on it?–is somehow just fine when it comes to followers of Islam: more appeasement of a segment of the population which has been wreaking havoc on our democracies in the West.
It just doesn’t make any sense, and I’m totally sick and tired of our collective bending over backwards to accommodate a group which has consistently, since 9/11, unleashed clearly unacceptable, destructive, and ruinous havoc on our many populations.
No more burqas in hospitals, please. They are public places, whose security and standard of health would be put at serious risk. If Muslim women must wear them in the privacy of their own homes, that is their right, but it is not their right to wear them in public places where by doing so they put others’ security, safety, health and wellbeing at risk.
ENOUGH ALREADY.
–and i was wrong by a decade, (big fucking deal)
Jacobin, putting that awesome leftwing education of his to use.
Well done lad!
Jack will love this outfit, as it means unionized hospital laundry workers can strike for more pay due to the increased workload of washing this outfit. Or do the women/men/bomber have to bring their own. I was once in a labor room with a hutterite woman, and she was horrified that she would have to undress and remove her panties to deliver her baby. That was 48 yrs ago.
Trying to talk politics with jacobin is like trying to teach astrophysics to a retard. You get nowhere and end up just frustrating yourself.
It ain’t worth your time trying. Jacobin isn’t even useful by troll standards.
Like a few others on this thread, I’ve been trying to figure out who (or what) Jacobin is. My guess, based mostly on his Anglophobia, is that he is neither muslim nor leftist, but a true blue descendent of those loveable Quebecois folks who cheered for the Nazis before (and even during) WWII. This would also explain his difficulties with English spelling and grammar.
He is obviously very young, brainwashed and extremely agitated, so be thankful that he is venting his spleen on SDA and not busy placing bombs or setting fire to Jewish schools.
Seems that noew folks are getting wise to Jacobin…
Good week already!
Huh. Makes me wonder what an inter-faith proctoscope looks like.
