Burkha Irk: Death Threat For Dance & Fashion Moves

Reported (k/t=AtlasShrugged):-

Dutch satirist Johan Vlemmix has decided not to perform his latest hit Do the Burqa onstage following death threats.

Any wonder?

I will make no comment on their music, her dancing abilities, her body qualities or her fashion statement.

But it is news.

This Is Not Israel

News from Germany:

The German state of Hesse has become the first in the country to impose a ban on the full Islamic face veil for public sector workers.

The western state had already stopped teachers and civil servants wearing headscarves to work in 2004.

The case was brought after a woman working for the city of Frankfurt said she did not intend to reveal her face on her return from maternity leave.

A similar ban is being considered in Lower Saxony, local media report.

Burkha Fashion - Yes or No?

RHF over at Jewess, in dealing with the topic I refer to as the Burkha Babes, posted a picture from the last century, or two ago, showing Orthodox women at the Western Wall basically covered up in shawls.

Okay, so here are some more:-









Shawls, yes. Headcovering, yes. Burkha-style covering up everything including face, no. It's the normal fashion for Old City Jerusalem over 110 years ago or so. In fact, you'll see this in Meah Shearim today. But it is not burkha-style nor the type of behavior Rabbanit Keren practices.

Burkha Babes

A while ago, I (and Jameel) dealt with the Ladies of the Burkha in Bet Shemesh (here).



Well, Maariv's Sherri Makover-Balikov (a former observantly religious girl) also did a story but it's in Hebrew (here). Over 300 'talkbacks' (Hebrew for comments).



Amazing.
