Your Day in “Religion of Peace” Divorce and “Full Ninja” News
By Debbie Schlussel
Supposedly the Islamic niqab (full face veil, but for eye-slits; or as I call it, “the full Ninja”) is too hide the Muslim woman’s face from men who are not her husband or immediately family members. Apparently, the site of women’s faces is so strong, that it immediately sets forth the uncontrollable sex (and rape) urges of Muslim men.
But apparently one Islamic woman keeps her face covered at all times, even in the presence of only her husband. For 30 years the woman was married and completely covered, without her husband ever once seeing her face. Since he lifted it up while she was sleeping, she now wants a divorce.
Yup, this is the “Religion of Peace” or at least the “Religion of the Ludicrous”:
A 50-year-old Saudi woman asked for divorce after her husband lifted her face veil while she was sleeping, local press reported.
For 30 years, the wife said she never showed her face to her husband in conformity with the tradition of her native village near the south western Saudi city of Khamis Mushayt.
“After all these years, he tries to commit such a big mistake,” the wife told Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadh, after she left the house in total disbelief.
She said the husband apologized and promised never to do it again.
This is not the first case of husbands who have not seen their wives’ faces in decades.
In the past Al Arabiya has reported the case of Ali al-Qahtani, whose wife had been wearing the face veil for the entire ten years of their marrage. When he tried to take it off, she threatened to leave and only decided to stay after he swore never to try again.
Hassan Al-Atibi threatened to marry another woman if his wife didn’t show him her face. The woman nominated one of her friends who doesn’t observe this tradition as a possible new wife for him, saying this would be better than her showing her face.
And neither the husband or children of Om Rabea al-Gahdaray, 70, have ever seen her face. Al-Gahdaray says it is a family tradition, also followed by mother and sisters, which her husband accepted and never tried to change.
Apparently, this practice of never revealing your face to anyone and remaining Full-Ninjaed at all times is practiced by some Gulf States Muslim women.
With the number of Saudi student visas to America doubled and doubled again, I can’t wait until the women of Khamis Mushayt start imposing their religious rules on America, can you?
Gives a new meaning to “Desperate Housewives.”
Ninjas are soooo cooool!!!!
