Fadela Amara converted into a Mufti

The banning of burqas would eradicate the "cancer" that is radical Islam, according to the French Secretary of State to the City, Fadela Amara, in an interview with the Financial Times newspaper on Saturday.

• Fadela Amara has become Mufti. While many Westerners, including Barack Obama, say they respect the Islamic veil, our friend Amara, who became French, may be more French than the French themselves, would like to see all our women stroll along the streets with their bodies half-naked.
  
      "The vast majority of Muslims is against the burqa. The reason is obvious. Those who participated in the struggle for women's rights at home, I am thinking in particular of Algeria, know what it is and what project of obscurantism policy it hides, to asphyxiate the most fundamental freedoms," said Amara, who is of Algerian origin.
  
  No madam! You know nothing of Algeria since you are French. The wearing of the veil in all its forms; Hijab, Nikab or Burka is a personal choice, a religious belief that no one has the right to criticize.
  
      The wearing of the burqa or the niqab (veil covering the entire body of the woman) represents the "oppression of women, the enslavement and humiliation." The woman, in addition to sexual exploitation and poverty, is undergoing a "third form of oppression: religious extremism, the existence of fundamentalist organizations that continue to broadcast their speeches," said the Secretary of State, former head of an organization of women's rights, "Ni putes, ni soumises".
  
      France, home of progressive Islam, must fight the "gangrene, cancer that is radical Islam, which completely distorts the message of Islam," said Ms. Amara.
  
      "The burqa is not just a piece of cloth but the political manipulation of religion that reduces women to slavery and goes against the principle of equality between men and women," she continued.
  
  Which manipulation, and which equality does our mufti speak about? Do women have to wear a mini to be the equal of men? Should they go out to night clubs to eat, drink and dance on Saturday evening to be the equal of men?
  
  If this is equality, no thank you, we don’t want it!
  
      France, a country with strong secular tradition, has banned by law in 2004 the wearing of Islamic headscarves in schools.
  
  Yes, but France has never prohibited the wearing of the Jewish kippa, or the feathers by the Indians!
