Daniel Pipes' Unhealthy Obsession with Hijab
Pipes has serious problems. Take a look at his obsession with Hijab, check out the pics: http://www.loonwat ch.com/2009/12/dan iel-pipes-unhealth y-obsession-with-t he-hijab/ In a running column entitled, “Hijab on Western Political Women,” failed academic turned zaney anti-Muslim blogger, Daniel Pipes, sets out to (in his own words): For fun, how about collecting those instances when female political leaders, especially leftist ones, don the hijab (Islamic headscarf)? (What normal person sitting before a computer thinks up of such a bizarre thing to do when trying to “have fun” anyway? Welcome to the world of Pipes I guess. ) Pipes then includes photos of princess Diana, queen Elizabeth, Laura Bush, Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton and Angelina Jolie, among others, wearing a Hijab when at various mosques. This caused us to wonder, surely Mr. Pipes is not sexist. Surely, he would invite the same scrutiny to the men in their lives: princess Diana’s husband and queen Elizabeth’s son (prince Charles, heir to the British throne), Laura Bush’s husband and son (George H.W and George W., both U.S. Presidents), Chelsea Clinton’s dad and Hillary Clinton’s husband (Bill Clinton, U.S. President) and Angelina Jolie’s dad (actor Jon Voight). Surely Mr. Pipes would not want to give those men a pass, especially given all of them (but the last) are far more important politically than their women. Well since Daniel Pipes is not very good at holding a mirror up to his face, we here at loonwatch volunteered to do that for him. Seeing that Mr. Pipes is Jewish, we put together the following photo display (true to a Daniel Pipes style presentation) - one that is relevant to his own religion not someone else’s - to see what he thinks of it and what he reckons it signifies. So “for fun”, Mr. Pipes, how about collecting those instances when Western (and Eastern) male political (and non-political) leaders, especially leftist (and rightist and centrist) ones, don the kippah or yarmulke (Jewish skullcap)?

Goa: Hindu MP says rape not a crime, what if he were Muslim?
Goa MP says Rape after Midnight not a Crime An Indian politician has sparked outrage after he suggested that cases when a woman was raped after staying out past midnight should be treated differently to other sexual attacks. Speaking before the country’s parliament, Shantaram Naik, an MP from Goa from the ruling Congress Party, reportedly made a series of “contentious” comments referring to the British teenager Scarlett Keeling, who was raped and murdered in Goa last year, and a Russian woman who alleges she was recently the victim of an assault by a state politician. “An alleged rape of a lady who moves with strangers for days together even beyond middle of the night is to be treated on different footings,” said Mr Naik, as opposition MPs shouted their disapproval.

Geert Wilders Wants to Tax Women who Wear Hijab
Trisha is proven the liar. No big surprise there. (Sep 28, 2009 | post #63)
Geert Wilders Wants to Tax Women who Wear Hijab
More stupidity from the guy who couldn't sell a book! You can't even hit it big on the topic that seems to be getting everybody some money, "the demonization of Islam." (Sep 28, 2009 | post #62)
Geert Wilders Wants to Tax Women who Wear Hijab
For you KSA seems to be the whole of the Muslim world. The sicko is you, with your strange perverted emphasis on what Muslim men do and don't wear. I guess you enjoy Scottish men skirts more. Again, Islamophobes get a life and stop harping on what Muslim people wear. (Sep 27, 2009 | post #48)
Geert Wilders Wants to Tax Women who Wear Hijab
Yes it did implied that you did. Islamophobes and their obsessions. What is "ewwww" is this unhealthy obsession. For God sakes get out of Muslim peoples' wardrobe. (Sep 27, 2009 | post #47)
Geert Wilders Wants to Tax Women who Wear Hijab
Trisha has a lot of knowledge about what Muslim men wear under their pants. First you were obsessed with what Muslim women wear and now men, sheesh. Ha (Sep 27, 2009 | post #46)
Geert Wilders Wants to Tax Women who Wear Hijab
Sorry "bud" it is a fact. You are however, entitled to your opinion that Muslims should be taxed for wearing a hijab or just being Muslim, you are in good company with the likes of latiffa, etc. (Sep 26, 2009 | post #32)
Geert Wilders Wants to Tax Women who Wear Hijab
That's interesting it seems Latiffa likes peaking inside Arab Muslim males (as opposed to Christians) pants. I guess everyone has a fetish. (Sep 26, 2009 | post #31)
Geert Wilders Wants to Tax Women who Wear Hijab
Exactly right, you don't know me, so quit the holier than thou posture, as if you have something to teach me about debating. I reiterate, either you agree or don't that taxing people for wearing religious clothing is undemocratic or not? It either infringes on religious freedom or it doesn't in your opinion? The commenters above want to do just that, tax all Muslims, that's irrationa and springs from an irrational fear of Muslims and Islam. I am sorry you can't see that. What is dishonest is your continued harping on about me and inconsistent baying about labeling, when you're clearly attempting to divert the subject from the Islamophobic actions taken by Wilders and his supporters to me.

Can we now tax the Popes hat? The Mormons underwear? The Jewish yamaka? The Hindu bindi? The Catholic nun scarf? Islamophobes get more and more creative. (Sep 24, 2009 | post #18)
Contributing knowledge on a myriad of subjects related to Islam. Shedding stereotypes and contextualizing the discussion on Islam that is all to often fraught with irrationality and ignorance.
