The New York Times reports that Britons are losing their patience with extreme multiculturalism in the form of totally veiled women now living among them.

A leading Labor Party politician, Jack Straw, scolded women last year for coming to see him in his district office in the niqab. Prime Minister Tony Blair has called the niqab a “mark of separation.”

David Sexton, a columnist for The Evening Standard, wrote recently that the niqab was an affront and that Britain had been “too deferential.”

“It says that all men are such brutes that if exposed to any more normally clothed women, they cannot be trusted to behave — and that all women who dress any more scantily like that are indecent,” Mr. Sexton wrote. “It’s abusive, a walking rejection of all our freedoms.”
[ Muslims' Veils Test Limits of Britain’s Tolerance,. New York Times 6/22/07]

It’s a standard culture clash article, with remarks like the ones above balanced with Muslim women explaining their voluntary oppression. Interestingly, no British women were asked their opinion about the presence of Muslim women whose behavior insults western freedoms.

In addition, the Times didn’t explore the curious psychology of self-oppression. Surely the most extreme form occurs when the abused person willingly participates in the mistreatment. So it is with Muslim women who choose fabric prisons to separate themselves from the western world

Many say it is out of “modesty” to ward off men’s unwanted attention. But if that were true, it would not be necessary for the all-encompassing garments to be identical.

No, the true purpose of total veiling is to erase the identity of the individual woman. Such beliefs fit well with Islam-sanctioned polygamy also, where a female is just another interchangeable part.

Of course, if the Senate has its way, we will be seeing enormously more Muslim immigration along with every other kind.

Police, Officials Insist Attacks on Drivers Not Related to Juneteenth Celebrations

Police and organizers of Juneteenth events in two cities are insisting that attacks against drivers — one of which left an Austin, Texas, man dead — have nothing to do with the crowds attending the celebrations.

On Tuesday, 40-year-old Austin resident David Rivas Morales was beaten to death in an attack near a Juneteenth celebration after the driver of the car he was riding in struck and injured a little girl.

In Milwaukee, police responded in riot gear to disperse the crowd at that city’s celebration on Tuesday after a man was pulled from a car and beaten and an officer was injured trying to break up a fight.

“It doesn’t seem to be a hate crime. It really seems to be a spontaneous act resulting from that collision with that child,” said Austin Police Department Commander Harold Piatt. “We don’t know if there were any words exchanged between the driver and the men to start with that escalated this to the assault.”

“You just had a group of individuals that decided that they wanted to do something entirely different,” said McArthur Weddle, president of Milwaukee’s Juneteenth Day. “It’s just sad that you have a few fools that got out of hand.”

Video from a local news chopper, however, showed dozens of people immediately moving from the event to an attack on a car that left a 33-year-old man beaten.

To decode this lengthy article, which doesn’t mention the words “black” or “African-American,” you need to know that “Juneteenth” is a black pride celebration of June 19th, 1865 when the victorious Union Army declared Emancipation in Texas.

A fairly new blog, called “Gringo Malo’s Blog” has a post called Refugees, the Welfare State, and You which has, through “the miracle of Al Gore’s Internet,” a whole bunch of numbers about how much the American taxpayer is paying “Charitable” organizations to import refugees who will become permanent welfare cases–unless they go crazy, and “Slay Six With Axe” or whatever.

Think of it as “Welfare Counter-Reform.”

Clayton Cramer had a post the other day called Admitting The Goal is to Not Hire An American

He was linking to a Network World post about the infamous Cohen & Grigsby immigration conference where Lawrence M. Lebowitz [Send him mail] is explaining how to advertise for a job so as to not get an American worker. Randall Burns and I both blogged about this earlier–see the video here.

Lawyers in a how-to video: as in how to avoid hiring an American

Watch this video and keep it in mind the next time you hear a high-tech industry titan such as Bill Gates complain that he simply cannot find qualified American employees and therefore the country needs more H-1B visas: You’ll see a panel discussion that looks like a sit-down with “the families” on The Sopranos, only instead of talking about organized crime these lawyers are discussing the ins and outs of helping employers side-step immigration law.

Cramer, who’s a software professional when he’s not blogging, stargazing, or writing about American history, recounts that years ago he hired a foreigner when he genuinely couldn’t get an American, but the man he hired was a South African. I don’t think they’re included in Bill Gates’s plans.
