The Islamic Theocracy of Oregon

Most of you have heard that the recently-converted Florida Moslem woman who wanted to have her driver's license photo taken while wearing a full burqa, including a total head covering, lost her case in court.  A Florida judge said that a driver's license is for identification purposes, and if all you can see is someone's eyes in the photo, it is useless for that purpose.

It's coming to America, folks.  Here's a list of items related to a French university's language studies department.  Moslems are taking over.   Read the full article at WorldNetDaily.
 

Headscarved students demanded a prayer room  within the university. 

Students are showing up at classes and exams with burqas, refusing to reveal their faces to men for identity checks. One student sent her brother – dressed in a burqa – to take an oral exam for  her. His large feet apparently gave him away. 

Some female Muslim students refuse to take oral exams with male professors without the presence of another individual. 

Some Muslim women refuse to speak in language classes, insisting the Quran considers the act of using their voices to be immodest. 

Muslims scolded a young Muslim woman for wearing lipstick, contending she might break her Ramadan fast by ingesting particles from her lips.  During the month-long observance last year, a  group of students wiped makeup off the face of a  young woman of North African origin. 

Muslim students told a history professor she had no right to quote or interpret the Quran in class because she is not a Muslim. After class, some students distributed partisan documents in an attempt to refute elements of her course on sensitive issues such as Israel, the Palestinians and Iraq. 

A dozen students left an Arabic culture course given by a professor of North African origin after she illustrated a point by playing classical Arabic music. The offended students said the Quran forbids the faithful from listening to music. One student said he had a right to have his faith respected because he paid tuition. 

At a meeting, professors of the Arabic studies department admitted they practiced self-censorship to avoid problems. 

A student prevented a female professor of Arabic grammar – described by the president as a "modern Muslim woman" – from teaching.

What is going to be done when this reaches Oregon?  Will our universites and colleges cave in to the demands of the politically correct?  Or will this sort of thing be stamped out, on the spot? 

One point.  It has been said that Moslems can start their own schools in America and teach what they want in them.  Can they?  For decades Islamic schools in Saudi Arabia have taught elementary and secondary age children to kill infidels (Christians, Jews, Buddhists, atheists, etc.)  If free speech has limitations (you can't yell "fire!" in a crowded theatre if there isn't one), then do we need to know exactly what is being taught in Moslem schools in Oregon?

And, let's say that the woman walking down the street toward you in the full burqa isn't a woman -- as was the case in one of the items listed above.

Perhaps when the first Moslem straps explosives to his or her body which are invisible inside that full burqa, then detonates them in Pioneer Square, people will take this essay seriously.  The bloody chunks of Oregonians that are sliding down the awnings of Meier and Frank will cause some to develop a new appreciation for the practice of free speech in the politically incorrect press.

In our opinion, it will take deaths for the awakening, particularly in Portland.  People there, like so many in Eugene, are genetically PC, and only grasp reality when bloody chunks of their friends or neighbors are sliding down awnings to drop to the street.

Prior to that, they will say, "It could never  happen here."
