Gaza goes Taliban



a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/stephaniegutmann/100005077/gaza-turns-into-a-taliban-state/"Stephanie Gutmann:/abr /br /blockquotepFreed from scrutiny by the EU and US focus on whether Israelis add extensions to their homes in Jerusalem, Hamas continues the quiet work of turning the Gaza strip into a Taliban-style Islamic state. A few days ago came the news that the Gaza Strip’s most senior judge “a href="http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFullamp;cid=1248277891424"has ordered all female lawyers to wear headscarves /aand a long, dark colored cloak under their black robes when they appear in court beginning September.”/p pThis is part of a general crackdown on female professionals — or maybe it’s just females. It follows the news several weeks ago, reported by Khaled Abu Toameh of the Jerusalem Post, that a href="http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1246443716574amp;pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull"Hamas policemen attempted to arrest a female Palestinian journalist/a “under the pretext that she came to a Gaza beach dressed immodestly and was seen laughing in public.”/pp...br //p/blockquoteThese are very scared men who fear their hormones cannot be controlled unless they control what women wear. Also see the post below where a 27 year old woman was murdered by her father for having a cell phone. It is hard to imagine civilized people treating women so horribly in the name of a religion. The sickness of the culture is becoming more obvious is people would stop turning their heads.div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5051247-4689776903580982319?l=prairiepundit.blogspot.com'//div
