RABAT (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's north African wing threatened revenge against France for launching a "war" against Muslim women who wear full burqas that cover them from head to toe, according to a Web statement posted in the group's name.

......

Here is France mustering all her capacity, mobilising all her institutions and organising her ranks to wage a perfidious new war against our sisters who wear the niqab," said the statement posted on a Web site used by al Qaeda supporters.

It said the French were committing these injustices "at a time when their denuded women ... flock to our land and occupy our beaches and streets, outrageously defying the feelings of Muslims".

....

"This is why we call upon all Muslims to respond to this hatred by another that is more ravaging, we call upon them to confront this French obstinacy," the statement said.

1. Scary misogynist men threaten for control

So much like our religious right/republican party. For them it's the Burqa they demand, for our guys it is the end to reproductive rights. Just theocracy rearing its ugly head. The childish cries of if my religion doesn't get its way I will blow the hell out of you. Who copied who between Al Quada and Operation Rescue? Same guys, different language.

8. Why would France fear women in burka's? just saying

French women in burkas wouldn't do that kind of nonesense.

KABUL (AP) - Afghan officials say a suicide bomber wearing a burqa entered the country from Pakistan today and detonated his explosives in a room where women are searched at the border crossing.

A police officer and a 12-year-old girl were killed in the attack.

maybe men in Burka drag but not women.

9. men in burqa could rob banks (or drug stores...)

or any small (or larger) cash register and 'finger' at any camera at will

women in burqa could do the same too...

and they wouldn't have to be 'religous' people to do that, by the way

in most western countries, 'hiding' faces (and 'the rest') is illegal for a reason

11. But they would be making a fashion statement...It'll be all the "RAGE"

10. I think it is something France has to deal with

From things I have read they have some real problems in France with immigrant groups refusing to assimilate in any way. And in some neighborhoods certain groups will try to enforce their particular female dress code other people (non-Muslim) through fear and intimidation. So it isn't that France fears women in Burqas, but they have real problems with groups that immigrate and still cannot accept females who are not adhering to the fanatical way of life they had in their country of origin. Honor killings in Europe of young Muslim immigrant women who do wish to be more a part of the prevailing culture are not uncommon.

France has their own country, and their own laws to deal with, so if they feel that this is a threat to their people, their culture, and their safety; they have every reason to seek a solution.

2. Gotta love Reuters. I love the way they hide the "it's not really Al Qaeda" on the second page.

*s* the BS that Reuters reports these days....

5. It doesn't say that, though. nt

6. It pretty much does. Al-Kaida my ass.

The source (for the site) isn't named and not linked to so I suspect they picked up some random blog and posted that... Do you know how many anti-western-death-to-the-usa blogs exist out there? Just cruising thru them and picking up random threats doesn't seem like a credible reporting method to me.
And the headline suggests that some kind of general decision was made by "Al-Kaida" to act specifically against the french. What they were reporting was that some random, unnamed blog that has ties to or is maintained by the ex-islamist-nationalist forces in Algeria - who took up the name "AQ in Maghreb" some years ago - posted a hefty polemic reply (including death threats) to Sarkozy's stupid little show he pulled off. That "AQ in Maghreb" is not some kind of arm of Al-Kaida is just hinted at on the second page. Don't you think the headline and the last part don't really go together?
I think this kind of reporting doesn't live up to the reality. Or at least the headlines don't. Seems intentionally worded that way to me.
