As most regular readers know, here at Holger Awakens, I refuse to link to Reuters articles due to their long history of being tolerant and supportive of islamic terrorists, but today I have to make an exception to that ... in order for me to help prove the case of just how this news outlet operates FOR the terrorists.
This article, from Reuters, basically takes a random "emails" from a women supposedly in Afghanistan and turns their opinion into what is supposed to be the stance of all women in that country. Now, first of all, I believe these emails is completely bogus - it wasn't written by Afghan women out of the blue - this, in my view, is a story written by female Afghanistani employees of Reuters. They also come up with comments from an Afghan student and a former lawmaker to help substantiate this absurd position. Secondly, let's look at the inconsistencies of this article:
Okay, now you see how Reuters is trying to make this huge point by represntative women that the West should make wearing a burqa a choice, LIKE THEY HAVE, because even in Afghanistan, they DON'T HAVE TO wear a burqa or a hijab.....but wait, let's read another's remarks closely:
Cha Ching. This whole propaganda article falls apart into a million pieces when you focus on that one line - we have a woman in Afghanistan who is supposedly critical of a burqa ban in places like France but then admits she is basically forced into wearing one in Afghanistan?
Leave it to Reuters to bring this kind of article to the pages of the internet. There is probably no greater example of the horrific abuse of women in general than that of Afghanistan when it was ruled by the Taliban. The Taliban treat women like cattle, like dogs and here in the 21st century, an organization like Reuters decides to ignore that abuse, that mutilation, that murdering to further their political views on readers. To put it another way, this would have been like Reuters doing an article at the very end of World War II of European Jewish women saying that the captured Nazis really weren't so bad. What you have to realize is just WHY Reuters put this article up...and believe me, it's got nothing to do with what Afghan women really want to see in regards to having to wears burqas or hijabs.
You see, Reuters is a British company that has for a long time been supportive of the multicultural dogma that has turned Britain into a shell of its former self - and at the same time, we are seeing some serious pushes by France to ban burqas in that country. Reuters is appalled by the French seeking a ban and Reuters is disgusted by the Swiss ban on minarets and Reuters is disgusted by the Danish and Swedish cartoons. So, instead of Reuters just doing an op-ed on why they support the islamization of Europe, they try to veil their position in bogus "reporting" like this.
So be prepared America. If you think the MSM in America is in the tank for the Obama administration and the far Left in this country, just wait til you see the number they will do on us in the future. Brace yourself for newscasts by Katie Couric showcasing hate crimes against American muslims. Brace yourself for special reports by Brian Williams on discrimination of islamic students in America's schools. And brace yourself for Diane Sawyer's special news segment on "Islamophobia in America." It will become a weekly occurence on your very own television.

Karokhail is one of many Afghan women who see a double standard in efforts by some European nations to outlaw face veils and burqas -- a move they say restricts a Muslim woman's choice in countries that otherwise make a fuss about personal rights.
"Democratic countries should not become dictatorships and Muslim women should not be deprived from all kinds of opportunities. It should be their choice," said Karokhail.
"Otherwise, what is the difference between forcing women to wear a burqa and forcing them not to? It is discrimination."

Even one of Afghanistan's most outspoken and controversial women, former lawmaker Malalai Joya, is a staunch opponent of efforts to ban burqas or tight headscarves called hijabs.Okay...now here is the money line of the whole article:
"As much as I am against imposing the hijab on women, I am also against its total ban. It should be regarded a personal matter of every human being and it should be up to women if they prefer to wear it or not," she told Reuters by email.
She dislikes burqas, but wears it anyways as a cloak of protection from warlords she has been critical of in the past.

European push to ban burqas appalls Afghan women
(Reuters) - A firm believer in women's rights, the only thing Afghan lawmaker Shinkai Karokhail finds as appalling as being forced to wear a burqa is a law banning it.
Karokhail is one of many Afghan women who see a double standard in efforts by some European nations to outlaw face veils and burqas -- a move they say restricts a Muslim woman's choice in countries that otherwise make a fuss about personal rights.
"Democratic countries should not become dictatorships and Muslim women should not be deprived from all kinds of opportunities. It should be their choice," said Karokhail.
"Otherwise, what is the difference between forcing women to wear a burqa and forcing them not to? It is discrimination."
France, which has the largest Muslim population in Europe, as well as Italy and Belgium are considering proposals to ban all-enveloping burqas and face veils called niqabs. Many in the West see them as a symbol of the subjugation of women.
In France, government and opposition lawmakers call burqas an affront to the country's secular traditions, though an advisory board has said a banning them may be unlawful.
In deeply conservative Afghanistan, the Taliban made wearing a burqa mandatory for all women during their five-year rule that ended with the U.S-led invasion in 2001. It is still widely worn in the Muslim country, especially in rural areas and the south.
Shukriya Ahmadi, a 35-year-old Afghan government employee, has ditched the burqa since the days of being forced to wear it during Taliban rule. Still, she has only scorn for Western governments seeking to outlaw them
"This shows they use democracy, freedom of religion and human rights issues only when it suits their purposes," Ahmadi said.
PUNISH THE MEN
She suspects burqa legislation will only help a resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan gain support from outraged Muslims and win recruits for their insurgency campaign against the Afghan government and U.S.-led NATO forces.
University student Farida, 20, is another Afghan woman who says the move smacks of a double standard.
"I have never worn a burqa and do not like it," she said. "But why would the West, which calls itself a supporter of democracy take such a decision? I am perplexed and sad."
Even one of Afghanistan's most outspoken and controversial women, former lawmaker Malalai Joya, is a staunch opponent of efforts to ban burqas or tight headscarves called hijabs.
She dislikes burqas, but wears it anyways as a cloak of protection from warlords she has been critical of in the past.
"As much as I am against imposing the hijab on women, I am also against its total ban. It should be regarded a personal matter of every human being and it should be up to women if they prefer to wear it or not," she told Reuters by email.
"It is against the very basic element of democracy to restrict a human being from wearing the clothes of his/her choice. These governments better punish those men who force women to wear hijab, but if any woman wears it out of her own wish, there should be no ban on it."
