		<description>You're assuming I just dress as it's fashionable or that I am with a bikini in the sun to please men. Both "assumptions" are plainly idiot. One thing is to be free and another one is to think you are free.

Oh, and by the way, you're speaking about the need to wear niqab in the desert. Can you tell me what deserts there are in Swedish, Italian, Spanish or Mexican cities? I answer you: NONE. You were that only because imams tell you that if you don't wear it, men are going to be sexually atracted and &lt;i&gt;could&lt;/i&gt; rape you. That's nonsense and it's extremelly insulting to men who seem to be no more than beasts looking out for sex.

There are several cases of raping by MUSLIM men to non-veiled (note: not only non-Muslim women) women because they weren't wearing hijab. As some friend told me: &lt;i&gt;the rapes-because-you're-not-veiled is the only religious argument in which the culprit is not guilty of his own crime and to prevent that the victim is blamed on it for her life and is told she should be totally dressed just in case the culprit commits the crime&lt;/i&gt;.

So, you're liberated because you were niqab (only your eyes are seen by others)... Don't make me laugh!!! ;)</description>

		<description>I am a professional writer and university level teacher, and I wear niqab.  I ran into this post while searching for something else.  Biftu puts it very well, barak Allahu feeha. Don't be so brainwashed by the current culture of oversexualization that you mistake immodesty for liberation.  Liberation is dignity, self-respect, and being known for what you contribute instead of your cup size.  

Vitamin D deficiency??  Do you think Muslim women wear their hijab all the time?  We have homes, gardens, yards, camping trips, women's clubs, beaches, etc., where we get plenty of sun.  

As for the heat, what is the first thing you are told to do if you are lost in the desert?  Keep all your clothes on and cover your head.  In fact, wearing hijab and niqab allows your natural cooling system, your sweat, to actually work.  Any breeze that comes by whips up your dress and cools your entire body.  This effect is not realized if you are dressed in a bikini or shorts.  

The people to feel sorry for are the ones who make not their own decisions regarding how they dress, but rather go along with whatever the dominant culture encourages and thus allow themselves to be taken advantage of.  "Oh - dressing to please men mean's I am independent and free?  OK, then, sell me some more skimpy designer clothes!  I'll PAY you to objectify me!!  That's how liberated I am."

		<description>Hello Nora!

Must have misplaced your address so I'm writing you through this comment box.

Just a little word to thank you for The Liberty Alliance and for picking up some of my stuff on your own blog which has given me quite a bit of exposure and recognition though I'm ashamed to say I always was so pressed for time I hardly ever returned the favor other than putting you on my blog list.

And to let you know, if you haven’t noticed it yet, that my blog has just been "deactivated" by Le Monde for a post they deemed "unlawful".

So I’m starting from scratch again (from a second blog I’d started up a couple of years back when they first suspended me for a week) and of course it’s not easy as you can imagine and I was wondering if you would mind giving me a little boost by posting one or two of my posts on your site to help me get some recognition and authority back (went from 88 down to 54 and now… 1 !) ?

Thanks in advance for anything you can do.

Sincerely,

Jc

PS : here’s their mail :

		<description>Yeah... I agree that Nigerians need global communications, but living under Sharia law (Islamic religious law...) makes me consider if that's the first priority.

And about China doing things in Africa..., do you know what you are &lt;a href="http://toastedbread.wordpress.com/2007/06/26/chinese-ultra-capitalism/" rel="nofollow"&gt;doing in Sudan&lt;/a&gt; for example?... Yes, working for Sudanese people... don't make me laugh ... :lol:

Well, you are happy your income is growing, then I don't know why your Government is crying like a capricious baby when it turns out to apply international treaties against environmental polution. Do you know China is now the first carbon emitter -even more than US-? 

Yeah, there is a lot you must be proud about Chinese policy: human right abuses, dissidents forced to silence, forced abortion, death penalty, huge environmental polution...

Oh, you can just tell any other blogger about "the others do it the same" crap. We have to act rightfully, without any consideration of what others do.

Greetings.</description>

		<description>Well Miss Nora, countries need development, development needs communications. It's pretty condescending to think global communications is not needed by Nigerians. 

I don't see Spain or Europe making communications affordable for Africa. I don't see any good from past 40 years of opposing African governments. I only see your jealousy that Chinese are getting things done in Africa for African people while growing our own influence and resources -- and yes the resources all come to China and make our income grow 11% a year. XD</description>
