PHANTOM COSTUMES / EQUAL RIGHTS / EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES / EQUAL EMPLOYMENT – OR EUROPE’S IDENTITY CRISIS

I wrote and sent my comments on the article or report and mentioned Arabs and their fervent desire to immigrate combined with their stubborn refusal to integrate – in other words, they want to adopt but do not want to adapt – why immigrate if where one is and the way one lives and what one is told if not actually ordered or forced to say and wear and do pleases one? STAY! Why immigrate if one won’t integrate? I also called the combination of the Hejabs and the Niqabs and/or the Veils: Phantom Costumes.

As for ‘Phantom Costumes’ and ‘disrespect’ ‘disregard’ and ‘insult’ as she chose to label what I wrote; well, in schools, colleges, academies, universities, and other educational and vocational institutions, they ARE phantom costumes, whether we like it or not. How are the management, the principals, and the teachers Etc – and the rest of the students supposed to know or recognize a student; and how are the shopkeepers and other business owners and tradesmen and women supposed to know or recognize the customer or person they are dealing with when her face is all covered up with only her eyes showing? I mean; people are known or recognized by their faces and forms – for God’s sake and for crying out loud! What she implied by, and what I inferred from, her message was that they lited or lowered the Niqab or veil when they were at school or university and/or in class or in the shops or wherever. I ask you, one more time. If one can reveal oneself to a whole school or university or class full of students and teachers, or one person, why hide oneself from another person or other people? I ask you again!

Also, it is much easier and safer for women and girls to do whatever they want and to commit whatever sin or so-called social moral misdemeanors when they are hidden from view – that is, when they know they cannot be known or recognised.

Authorities all over the world know this, and that is why students are required to wear uniforms. The French Authorities know this, too, and do their utmost best to prevent friction that might lead to violence by enforcing the law which the Arabs, in their ignorance and their stubborn refusal to face facts and reality, as usual – the fact and reality of 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do and respect and obey Roman laws' – decide to consider as an insult and become offended. When will the Arabs and the Moslems – and all the peoples of all other religions – learn, that it's not who you are or who your parents were, or where you were born, or where you lived, or what your religion was or wasn’t, or what you wore, or what you ate or drank, or where you came from or how you came; it's what you did along the way – from start to finish; or from birth to death! I know; you know this by heart by now.

Also, one does not take one’s home-made food into a restaurant and demand or insist and persist on eating it there! That is just not done – not by educated, intelligent, and enlightened people, at least. If you decide to go and eat in a restaurant, you go into the restaurant and choose what you want to eat from the restaurant’s menu, and if it so transpires that the food in the restaurant is not to your liking or what you want, you leave, and either go to another restaurant, or go back home where you came from in the first place. You do not take out your food and attempt to eat it; and if the owner or maitre tries to prevent you – you know damn well they will – you raise a fuss and raise your voice and make a total nuisance if not an absolute fool of yourself.

I lived and worked in Jeddah, Saudi-Arabia, for six years, and I never wore a crucifix on a chain around my neck or did anything to offend anyone. Furthermore, I fasted when they did, and feasted when they did.

I was born in Ghana, and there are thousands of Ghanaians living and working here in this God-damned and God-forsaken country, Lebanon, AND! I never saw any of them in their traditional clothes unless they were celebrating their independence or some other traditional ceremony, until they appeared in the streets of Beirut in their traditional clothes, protesting the July 2006 war – that Fiasco, Folly, and Madness that tore the country into shreds, killed 1,200 innocent civilians, wounded and maimed thousands more and scattered hundreds of thousands to the four winds, and which all the religious and political leaders (out of fear) have the scorn and impudence to call a Divine Victory – pleading for an end to it.

For your information, those women and girls are not the only Moslems in France or Europe! There are hundreds of thousands of other Arabs (Moslems and Christians) all over Europe, and hundreds of millions every elsewhere on the planet – men, women, boys, and girls, whose parents – especially those that could not afford it – did what was necessary, and did without what was not, in order to provide them with a good education and enlightenment – who wouldn't be caught dead in such activities.

Also, I'm prepared to bet a bent buffalo nickel that they were instigated and goaded into doing all that, and making all that trouble, and creating all that hullabaloo and turmoil by some twenty-four expletives censored Shukh-Sheikh! Furthermore, you and everyone else would do well to remember that there are too many other peoples of too many other nationalities and religions in France and Europe and every elsewhere other than Arabs and Moslems! BY GOD! What would happen if everyone decided to brazenly and blatantly flaunt their religions in the face of everyone else? I ask you again!

AND! To add insult to injury, and salt to the wound; so to speak; they wait for, if not actually create, the slightest incident and/or excuse to take it out on the government and the rest of the law-abiding and tax-paying community; disturbing the peace by protesting noisily in the streets, disrupting traffic and social life and fabrics; smashing windows; burning vehicles and houses and other structures; destroying and damaging public and private properties, and creating chaos and havoc!

Wherever there are Arabs there will be trouble, turmoil, and violence. It's in their blood, because of the way they are brought up, the lessons they are taught, and the false ideas that are chiseled into their brains from infancy to youth, to adult-hood, to old age, and even (eventually) on to death; in other words, from the cradle to the grave; AND all to and for what?

It's immigration without integration; plain and simple. The Arabs want to immigrate but do not want to integrate. They adopt, but do not adapt. Immigration is all a matter of adopt, adapt, and integrate! They adopt countries but do not adapt to or integrate into them. I ASK YOU FOR THE VERY LAST TIME!
