Nilofar Bakhtiar, she fears for her life!

She fears for her life because of a hug! Or was it a pat???

She allegedly hugged her parachuting instructor. Or was she allegedly patted by him!

I know there were times when I got to the ground safely after jumps that I'd made from planes and helicopters where I wanted to hug anyone near me! But, by the time I gathered my gear and took off for the rally point those thoughts had left me.

However, I would have had anyone been close enough!

So, who is this alleged fiend? This alleged blight on morality? This hugging muslim woman? None other than Pakistan's Minister of Tourism, Nilofar Bakhtiar.

Her crime to humanity?? She hugged (and/or was patted by) a foreigner!

A FOREIGNER!!! She friggin' hugged (and/or was patted by) a foreigner!

In short two whacky, self righteous, insane chief clerics of a radical mosque in the Pakistani capital have issued a decree calling on the government to fire Bakhtiar after a photograph was published showing her hugging a foreign man, her French parachute instructor. She was in France last month raising money for victims of that devastating earthquake in Pakistan in 2005.

It was a FUNDRAISING JUMP idiots! Sheesh!

Damned French anyways! They always seem to be stirring it up somewhere.

In an article found at Women Living Under Muslim Laws authored by SADAQAT JAN, Associated Press Writer

"10/04/2007 - Photos in the Pakistani media have shown Bakhtiar being helped by a male instructor during a charity parachute jump in France last month to raise money for victims of the devastating October 2005 earthquake in Pakistan. Another picture shows a woman - apparently Bakhtiar - hugging the instructor.

This was "an illegitimate and forbidden act,"the clerics said in their edict, or fatwa. "Without any doubt, she has committed a great sin," the fatwa said. It declared that Muslim women must stay at home and must not venture out uncovered. The fatwa demanded that Bakhtiar be fired, given another unspecified punishment and that her family "force her to ask for forgiveness so that she does not repeat this un-Islamic act."

Ah, but when and where will that self professed tolerance practiced by those clerics who are an integral part of this religion of peace, islum ever surface?

Here's a dated but great little piece of history about Nilofar Bakhtiar that I found in Asia Week. It shows just how much of an uphill struggle she and other women like her truly have in a muslim culture if they wish to make something of their lives outside of the traditional muslim roles for women.

For humanities sake I apologize to oppressed muslim women. Hell, all oppressed women... all oppressed people!

I'm embarrassed for these freaky littly clerics actions. They're idiots to the "nth" degree.

These fat, radical, insane little clerics are of the belief that muslim women "must stay at home and must not venture out uncovered".

I have an idea--- make those fat, radical, insane little cleric freaks stay in their mosques and practice their cultish, demonic beliefs amongst themselves inside the mosque's perimeter. I mean, that would fair. That would be an equitable balance.

Make them "stay at home and not venture out!" For the good of the order, of the world!

Make them stay in their little walled up mosque, threatening and harming no one from the outside. Doing their little cultish things, practicing their little perverse acts--- harming no one of any real substance, character--- just themselves.

And if for some perverse reason, if someone from the outside wishes to "join" these little perverted cleric freaks let them "join"--- after they're screened by a mental health professional of course

Yes, this would be a viable solution to silencing these run amok, all important, freaks of nature clerics..

FATWAH THIS! oh great, freaky little muslim cleric dolts!

You're not as all important as you'd like to be.

God I tire of them---

---freaky clerics anyways!
