Hmm......we had a similar case here in germany. The problem is that Church and state is seprated and therefor, religous items can not be worn. Hell, even in Turkey females teachers are not allowed to wear the Burka in school.

Well, so, what do you mean with fabricated? You say that this was made up to start controversy?

I mean the event is real, but the controversy itself is fabricated.

I don't enjoy watching these sorts of things, mainly because of the tangible squirming of the person in the hot seat.

But I will say this:

IMIDATING.

Same here actually, but the payoff at the end is nice :)

It's also why I don't watch any court tv shows like judge judy, etc.

She kind of dug her own grave in the first place, anyway - could see it coming a mile off.

"Do I have to answer the question?"

... You just did, you stupid woman.

You may not tell us explicitly what we want to know, but by omission you have told us anyway.

...Gotta love Logic Bombs.

My fave is "I can neither confirm, nor deny". Automatic 'yup'.

Weeeelll... Yeah. I would have gone easier on her if she'd said that she wasn't allowed to comment on that due to ongoing litigation.

But, yeah... "BUSTED!"

the fact that ANYBODY would want to make a huge deal out of anything these days means that we are pretty much a dying race XD we get bored too esily and want to make something up or use things to our likeing.....which i most certainly doNOT condone o.o

other than that...i hope she gets to go on with her life and all is quiet....^^

agreed on that

seconded

Thirded.

Yes, yes!

wopps...i shouldn't have opened my big mouth ^^;

Now if only everyone were Hedonist =P

I LOVE YOUR ICOOOONNN XD

lol kthx D=

You can almost hear her screaming "FUCK!" in the back of her mind near the end

HO, yeah.

This is why I don't watch the news any more, it's all about entertainment these days, but then where is the follow up to the story? no where to be found after a few weeks something else has happen and it will be the centre of the spotlight.

Quite true, quite true. Yu actually get more informative news out those mock news outlets like the Daily Show sadly nowadays...

Gaaaah, I read the youtube comments.
I really shouldn't have read the youtube comments.

Never read youtube comments X3

That's like the first rule of youtube. "Never read the comments". Sadly I'm guilty of that as well ^^;.

SO THIS IS WHAT YOU MEANT!!

If no one ever lied or had ulterior motives, the world would be a better place.

This entire thing appears to be her way of making an artificial controversy. An argument could be made for this based off how she reacted to the "When you were first interviewed..." question, which she clearly did not want to answer.

I do appreciate BBC News more than I do CNN or Fox News, simply because they aren't afraid to ask appropriate questions. I often times find that American news stations tend to automatically assume that the company or the government is to blame in situations such as this; they prefer to believe that it is unlikely to be the individual's fault.

Interesting find Maf.

yeah that's true

"Why should women who wear the veil be segregated and separated from society?" she asks pitifully.

"Because you're spitting in the face of every woman who has ever died or been brutalized because of that horrible garment you arrogantly choose to wear out of total ignorance, honey," I reply.

I've heard of several incidents like this, and it very often turns out that the Muslim at the center of it knew exactly the controversy that would follow, which was probably their true motivation all along. Muslims would very much like to be seen as victims of a cruel and uncaring Western value system that discriminates against them based on their faith. In reality, Islam's goal is to force the rest of the world to obey their hateful, violent laws and to ignore everyone else's. It reminds me rather a lot of how American conservatives and evangelicals try to present themselves as victims of those mean liberals and atheists, when any sane mind can easily see just how much power they currently have and how much more they want.

You should always remember: Never make assumptions. Because, you see, they make an ass out of you...and mumptions.

"I'm pretty sure she is a Sith Lord."

Priceless...

"The veil does not cause a barrier of communication."

Then... what the hell is it good for? Fashion?

The funniest part, IMO, is hearing her say "y'know" repeatedly. So much for tradition.

She's a very silly nilly woman :o

I can neither confirm nor deny that there is or is not anythin, or nothing, that can or cannot be confirmed or denied at this time.

....tell people that when they ask about mundane stuff and when the big stuff comes up, they won't believe you anyway. In two words, plausible deniablility.
