The world was in an uproar over France banning the burkini, and the French quickly backed off, but the real story is ignored: the many women who are threatened, brutalized and even killed for not conforming to the Islamic sharia dress code and donning the cloth coffin. This journalist has been threatened with rape and murder for daring to criticize this dehumanizing garment.

“Bosnian Reporter Threatened for Criticising Burka,” by Maja Garaca Djurdjevic, Balkan Insight, August 30, 2016:
After reporter Lejla Colak compared the wearing of the burka and niqab with the public display of sex toys, she received threats of murder and rape.
Bosnian journalist Lejla Colak told BIRN on Monday that she had received a series of threats of violence after criticising Islamic garments like the burka and niqab in a post she wrote on Facebook.
In her post on August 26, Colak, an atheist, compared wearing such garments in public to wearing a “strap-on dildo in the streets”.
“Religion should be intimate, just like sexuality. Keep it to yourself and the like-minded. Do not impose it on others,” Colak wrote.
After local Islamic news portal Saff.ba published criticism of her post, Colak began receiving threats via Facebook Messenger and in the comments section of the post.
“Are there any volunteers to rape lovely Lejla? … I will personally pay for it???” wrote one man, whose online profile says that he is a member of the Bosnian Army.
Two female social media users called for Colak to be run over by a car, soaked in petrol and burned.
Colak said she was prepared for negative comments and insults but did not foresee the threats she would receive.
“I am not afraid to express my views. I used an analogy awkwardly. I could have constructed it better. But I could not have assumed that it would lead to this,” the Sarajevo-based reporter told BIRN.
Since her initial post, she has apologised on Facebook for causing offence by mentioning a sex toy in connection with religion.
“I can apologise for the form but not for the content. Yes, religion (all of them) should be a private matter, yes, everything I have said I mean. Forgive me only for that piece of plastic with which I have hurt the feelings of the public,” she wrote….

ALERT!!! Listen to me carefully! That what is going on in Bosnia today, it is the exactly same thing which was going on in the Kosovo in the 1970s. Namently the harassment by the Muslims against the Christian SERBS!!!!
Back in the 1930s more and more Muslims from Albania migrated to the Kosovo were the Serbs (Christians) were a majority back in the day.. But by the 1970s the “Kosovo-Albanians” (Muslims) were the majority and started to harass the Serbs and to steal their lands and to killing them…
The Serbs then started to defend themselfs against the muslim agressions…
But with the help of the US and the NATO which helped the Muslims, the Serbs were kicked out of the Kosovo, THEIR OWN LAND!!! in the 1990s, which is today the first muslim country on the european continent…
Same thing now in Bosnia! 58% Bosnian Muslims (which migrated to Bosnia from Albania and Kosovo in the 1950s when the Christians were a majority in Bosnia).
The Muslims now harassing, stealing their land and killing the (meanwhile minority) 42% Bosnian Christians, which are made out of 85% CHRISTIAN SERBS!!!…
Just like the Muslims did it with the Lebanon and all the other 55 islamic states of today in the past…
BUT this time, Russia (PUTIN) will not back down to help the Bosnian Christians, like Boris Jelzin did 20 years ago, when he pertrayted the Kosovo SERBS to the Kosovo Muslims!

That is all true. The Serbs were on their defence. Perhaps a bit harsh but it is war. The Clinton mafia protected the muzzrats with NATO. NATO was never meant for that. NATO was meant to protect all member states, including Turkey. But not Kosovo or the likes. The worse thing is that nobody in NATO high command corrected Clinton and his mafia.

When the illegals and their drug gangs get organized by La Raza in Southern California and other border areas to start an insurrection to take back what they claim is theirs, American resistance will receive the same condemnation from the world, but at least we are still nuclear so that will be all that they can do. Even now the black gangs and allies are targeting the cops under the guise of resisting oppression.

This is an excellent article. This is why I come to atlasshrugs to get the real story.
The real story of Islamic Sharia barbaric dress code and what happens to women when they do not adhere to it is not getting the same kind of attention as France ‘s decision to ban the burkini.
Muslim women are considered chattel by men and when they refuse to wear the burka their brothers and husbands commit honour killings.
Honour killings, need just as much attention as the burkini. Honour killings are happening here in Canada and they must be stopped. Lets talk about it.

Islam says women are inferior;
4:34 “men are in charge of women because Allah made one of them to excel over the other…”
Ibn Kathir’s commentary on the Koran explains it like this,
“Men are superior to women, and a man is better than a woman.”
Given equality of opportunity who do better at school, boys or girls?
Yes, in Islam women are worth less;
4:11 “Allah directs you in regard of your children’s (inheritance), to the male a portion equal to that of two females… These are settled portions ordained by Allah”
Violence against them is encouraged, and women must obey men in all things;
4:34 (continued) “…As for those (women) from whom you fear disobedience…. beat them!”
Some translations say to “scourge”, to whip them.
Does the Koran promote domestic violence?
“The Prophet said, ‘A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife”
(Abu Dawud 11/2142)
It covers it up too, Sharia Courts have often been reported as quoting this Hadith to protect abusive men.
It is an unquestionable right in Islam for a man to beat his wife and Sharia Courts enforce it.
Mohammed’s wife Aisha said publically to him the status of women (Hadith Sahih Muslim 4/1039);
“You have made us equal to the dogs and the asses”
Just recently, a leading Imam in France is reported as saying;
“No matter how much good you bestow upon a woman, she will refuse it. Her selfishness drives her to refuse it…this holds true for all women, this is the nature of women.”
The Koran even repeats some of these ideas as if to emphasize them;
2:228 “men are a degree above women…”
4:176 “Unto the male is the equivalent of two shares of the female.”
Is Islam compatible with Human Rights which guarantee equality for women? It seems not.
As already noted, the European Court of Human Rights, the world’s leading authority on the subject say Islam is incompatible with democracy.
Could it be that what the Koran teaches violates the principles of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights and this is why the Muslim nations had to make a rival one?
Islam and Sharia have no room for gender equality, LGBT rights, freedom of expression and many other things which are now widespread in the West.
2:282 “(in law) … call two witnesses from among your men…if two men be not at hand, then a man and two women.”
Do women tell more lies than men? Are women statistically less honest? Google it, most surveys find the opposite.
In Hadith Bukhari 6/301 a conversation of Mohammed’s is recorded in which he said,
“Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man? This is the deficiency in her intelligence”
Mohammed also said;
“O womenfolk…you lack common sense, you fail in religion and rob the wisdom of the wise…your lack of common sense can be determined from the fact that the evidence of two women is equal to one man. That is a proof”, (Sahih Muslim 1/142)
This is what academics call a circular argument, using your own conclusion as a logical justification of itself.
In recent years two girls Nicole Barr in the UK and Neha Ramu from India have scored 162 in IQ tests showing a higher intelligence than even Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. There is the proof that women are not by nature less intelligent than men.

Mahou, good one! Islam is an offence to feces. I am writing a book, titled “Freedom from Islam”, and it is more like an extended and fiery sermon. May I use your expression. “Islam is an offense to feces” in my book? FB John Boston

..and it’s always evident that there are a strong percentage of Muslimas, who endorse violence towards other women (as per the article above). They have a warped mindset. Always happy to be complicit in FGM and Honour killings….very sick indeed. All I know is that the non Muslims in Bosnia have, over this year, become irate at seeing hordes of Burka clad Kuwaitis and Saudis holidaying there, and buying much property….

Will all those people threatening her be banned fro Facebook????? I don’t think so. Schmuckerman is the richest hypocrite in the world. A giant 2 faced A-hole. By looking at FB’s stats, more and more people are leaving because the truth is banishment.

Her analogy is similar to mine. Hillary wears those tawdry uncomplimentary pantsuits, a.k.a. “Beltway Burkas”, exclusively in order to hide her use of a catheter, a symptom of early onset dementia.

Look at her, beautiful, proud, intelligent and uncovered. That is more than enough for the savages to want to rape and destroy her and this is not new for Bosnia. The wrong President had us on the wrong side of that conflict and now we have this abomination and possibly the next one, Hillary.

It’s good that someone said this. Wearing faith like newsprint is hardly faith. Also if one looks back at victorian repressive attitudes towards sexuality in the west you could make an argument that islam is doing the same thing with its repressive demand for woman to wear burkas that prepetuate subjugation of women as possessions and sex slaves
