Worst betrayal of Israel committed by a President

On top of that, the Quran does not state what women should wear. It only says that women should dress modestly so as not to attract the gaze of men (lustfully) that are not members of their family or their husbands.

The burka, or hijab, is a traditional dress that people have worn over there for literally thousands of years, and it is not specific to Islam. Look at the nativity scene. They are all wearing hijab. Nuns wear hijab. Rabbis basically wear it. Its not an Islamic thing.

The veil is not Islamic. Its traditional Middle Eastern dress that serves practical purposes, namely to keep the damn sun and sand off of you. It is not a weapon of servility or torment or humiliation. It does not dehumanize or oppress women. The men wear it too!

However, it does a really good job of hiding the sexual features of a woman's body, and as a result keeps the lustful eyes of men off of her.

I don't see why so many americans feel we can betray Israel. We are not israelis. Their interests are often congruent with our own but not always. I have a real problem with Americans who think we have to kowtow to every religious nut who has a say in how Israel is being run at present.

And the guy who said Sharon was a leftist is either a master jokester or completely out to lunch. Sharon was leader of the right wing party.

For what it is worth, I think Israel is the most admirable country on earth after the US and I am fed up with the tail wagging the dog.
