 Please site evidence that this particular affair Trudeau had (one of many) had anything to do with future political appointments?


 &quot;starting with Chief Justic Bora Laskin followed by Herb Gray, Alan Gotlieb and Jack Austin. Trudeau also appointed five Jews to Canada’s Senate. Trueau also dated Hollywood Jewish actress and singer Barbra Streisand and almost ended up marrying her.&quot;

		<description><![CDATA[Don Hawkins - Rupert Murdoch is an Islamophobe and Jewish-butts licker.

Rubert Murdoch, like every Zionist – is a victim of his self-denial, otherwise, he would not have asserted that “Jews are under attack”. Here is a list of some of the benefits these 12.7 million Jews get in return for their victimization:

1. Israel has received over US$3 trillion in USAID including US$3 billion military aid annually. Israel has sucked US$93 billion from Germany as “compensation” for Nazi crimes. The Jews also received US$7 billion from Swiss banks for “stealing” kosher bank accounts.

2. Since the establishment of Zionist entity on an Arab land in 1948 – Every US administration has told the world that an attack on Israel will be considered an attack on United States.

3. The head of governments in the US, Canada, Spain, France, Germany and Britain are proud to be “friends” of Jews and Israel. Ben Obama, Stephen Harper and David Cameron has the largest numbers of Jewish or pro-Israel cabinet ministers in the history of United State, Canada and Britain. French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s mother was Jewish and so is his wife and he has allegedly worked for Israeli Mossad before enter politics.

4. Ninety-six percent of world media is owned by six Jewish companies.

5. With the help of France and the US, Zionist entity built its first batch of nuclear bombs in 1967.

6. Though Jews in United States make less than 2% – 48% of country’s billionaires are Jewish. Jews represent 11% in the US Congress and 13% in the Senate. On the other hand – Muslims are the largest religious minority in the US (8-11 million), but has no Senator. Former Canadian Prime Minister, Pierre Elliott Trudeau’s affair with Jewish Lenni Bruce, brought Jews into Canadian power, starting with Chief Justic Bora Laskin followed by Herb Gray, Alan Gotlieb and Jack Austin. Trudeau also appointed five Jews to Canada’s Senate. Trueau also dated Hollywood Jewish actress and singer Barbra Streisand and almost ended up marrying her.

Now, if that’s being “under attack” – then I am sure all other religious and ethnic minorities would pray for being under attack. But, then, if you believe the above or these ones, ADL is going to call you a “Jew hater”.

		<description><![CDATA[Reza Shah was certainly a puppet but did he get orders from the US/Britain to ban the hijab? Perhaps he did. I just would need to see exact evidence.
The US and Britain were more concerned with keeping Iranian oil in private hands.

 The US has bases in Saudi, Kuwait and Iraq. No hijab bans there. In many cases it is the opposite.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh how satisfying it is to have 999 out of a thousand muslims, christians, talmudniks, american democrats, greens, zionists, republicans, demonize me.
And as long as they do that and avoid to demonize our solutions, facts and the like, it is just wonderful.
And us uniting muslims, fascists, and judaics, shld merit a nobel price. For, by uniting them, we r doing harm to our causes.
When we will ever learn? And join fascists? TNX]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[examples?
If you are slow to get it,  then it is not my fault.

I have given you many examples including  the case in  Iran and Turkey.  Do you think Reza Shah or  Atatürk cared about dress code?  Reza Shah let to power by the  British Empire so Atatürk.  They brought their puppet to implement &#039;westernization&#039;  in the Islamic countries to expand their market share, culture to undermine Islam.

Reza Shah was almost an illiterate man and a dictator.  Atatürk&#039;s wife wore head scarf.  He was a dictator as well.  Why should they  be concerned about headscarf?  Reza Shah was not a liberated man.

Why Rahmon, Tajikistan president should ban on Islamic head scarves? How many Tajik women are going to wear it?  
It is obvious that the empire is giving instruction to these puppets what  should they  do in order to expand American &#039;exceptionalism&#039; in the far away colonies.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Beg to differ on the &quot; it being question of compulsion&quot;; i.e., forcing women to think-behave or don on clothes?
Clearly-- or appearing as an extreme reality-- women appear owned and thus forced by mostly threats to behave in the way threateners want them to behave or wear clothes that pleases their owners.
Of course, i am not saying that women do not act as enforcers also!

&quot;Compulsion&#039; wld be elucidating only after citing causes for compulsion self and what are the reasons now for, say, women wearing so little and particularly on TV or movies.

Compulsion, threats [verbal and non-verbal] just don&#039;t happen; they r mindfully invented. Obviously by people who profit from it! tnx]]></description>

Good points.
Ashraf Ezzat sounds like a European/American missionary disgusted and appalled by the antiGOD dress code of &quot;the primitive uncivilized dirty nude blacks&quot; in Africa. 
Every society imposes its codes of behaviour/ethics/beliefs/... on its young. Bikini is roughly &quot;normal&quot;, &quot;not compulsory&quot; for some in some places as is nudity (or other types of bathing costumes) for others in other places (eg FKK-goers)...
And one could argue that there&#039;s a connection between dog/cat/... beauty contests, child beauty contests and beauty queen contests...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Iranian ruler Reza Shah banned all variations of the headscarf in 1935. He ordered the police to arrest women who wore the hijab and to remove their headscarves by force. This policy outraged pious Muslim women, so they gathered at the Goharshad Mosque in Mashhad wearing headscarves to protest against the hijab ban on January 6, 1936. 

Ban on headscarf directed by the West which was part of the ‘modernization’ policy therefore was politically motivated.
The reasons behind wearing Hijab are many.  According to Islamic Republic of Iran, women should wear headscarf which is not a good policy and many women who wear Hijab  on their own decision want Hijab to be voluntary not compulsory which I agree.  But, at the same time, I don’t think, the headscarf is the cause for poverty and illiteracy. The propaganda against Muslim is using hijab to divert attention from the crimes committed by the West.  In this campaign many ‘feminists’ who are in the business of killing children by drone in Pakistan, Afghanistan and elsewhere are used. 

Iran with 85% literacy rate, enforces headscarf, but Pakistan with 30% literacy rate does not. 
I have seen many Egyptian Journalist who were secular and never wore Hijab decided to wear Hijab.  Why?  Do you think these women are backward?  No one forced them to wear headscarf.

The West and their fifth column elite in Islamic countries must open their mind and see the facts on the ground.  The Islamic countries are humiliated, subjugated, and colonized by the West with the support of the population.  The elite of Pakistan are CORRUPT and complicit in US war crimes against the population of Pakistan. The ‘moderate Arab head of State’ are doing the same. 

One reason behind wearing headscarf is to be united with anti imperialist and Zionist forces.  At the time of the Iranian revolution many women were secular and wore no headscarf, but as the opposition against the Shah and US imperialism grew, then many women were united with others against US imperialism to be force American ‘advisors’ out and close the US military base in Iran. 

During militant struggles for independence, such as that against the French in Algeria or the British in Egypt, some women purposely kept the veil in defiance of western styles. It meant they also could take part in veiled and silent demonstrations, or could hide weapons under long robes.
There were other reasons behind wearing hijab. One was the growing reaffirmation of nation identity and rejection of values and styles seen as western. In response to Egypt&#039;s catastrophic loss to Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War and the seeming failure of secularism, there also was a push to return to Islamic laws which had been abandoned.

As long as the West is implementing an aggressive policy against Muslims and is trying to colonize and undermine Islamic countries’ progress, more women are willing to be united with each Islamic country to fight back the hegemonic West with ‘headscarf’.
Women of Heidi, the poorest country in the world, a colony of the WEST, do not wear headscarf, however, Iranian women do.  
In a picket line, the Iranian women’s priority is employment, education, improvement of laws related to marriage and custody of the children not hijab.
Muslims are fed up with biased policy against Muslim countries including Palestine, Sudan, Afghanistan, Iran, Yemen, Somalia, and other countries.

For women wishing to pursue professional and public social lives, wearing hijab allows freer movement outside the confines of the home. In leaving their homes, this upwardly mobile group is actually defining new roles for themselves, not defending traditional ones.
 The students who take up hijab are able to move into areas that were once closed to them, such as attending classes, discussion groups and religious activities. Wearing conservative clothing protects them from sexual harassment and objectification. 

{Hijab is not about covering up the hair; rather it’s about drawing the veil on our minds.}

This is not a good statement.  It is YOU that should remove the veil of ignorance to see the reasons behind Hijab is not one. We should remove obstacle that encourages hijab if we are serious to remove it as an option.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let us agree first that prior to 9/11 the west hardly bothered with Islam or Muslims. But that changed drastically after the terrorist attacks on New York.}

This is not an accurate statement.  The west is medaling in the affairs of the Islamic countries at least, for the past few centuries.  It was British Empire that started the process of destabilization and balkanization using its agents in the Ottoman Empire, mainly, the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) to overthrow Abdulhamid who refused to sell lands in Palestine to Jews.  The British and French started the destabilization and partition project and divided the land into many microscopic ‘countries’ to prevent unity among its habitants.   Later, the West allowed Khazari Jews, a Turkic tribe, to enter Palestine and steal the land of Palestinians, to introduce pressure on Muslim population and silence them with the threat of war and destruction with active support of the Western governments and their populations to colonize the region.

Today, every person on earth is a witness to massacre of Muslims in many countries all over the world. The west is committing crimes against humanity to push the world towards “new world order”, which is nothing but an IRON CAGE where people must resist that. 
Therefore, the West has been using any excuse to undermine and destroy Islam.  The elite of Islamic countries including Pakistan, a fifth column, are the ally of the West against the rest of the population. 

{Twenty or 30 years ago, few women wore hijab in the Arabic world. It was not a common practice especially amongst young girls and women. Now the majority of women are wearing Hijab, ..}

The secularization of Turkey started during the last years of Ottoman Empire and it was the most prominent feature of Atatürk&#039;s reforms. Under his, the religious education was restricted and for a time prohibited. The reform movement began with enacting the new Constitution of 1924, and the adaptation of European laws and jurisprudence.  

The hijab (veil) for women, was strongly discouraged; and women were encouraged to wear western clothing and enter the country&#039;s workforce. 
All these policies implement to push the country toward ‘modernization’ and open a market in the interest of the West.    
Yet, Modern Turkish Women are fighting for Their Rights according to Freedom of Religious Beliefs to wear the headscarf in universities and working places in public institutions.  Why does the west interfere with dress code in the Islamic countries?  

In Tajikistan, more than 300 mosques have been closed by authorities in the Tajik capital, Dushanbe. These follow a government ban on Islamic head scarves -- hejab -- in schools.  Do you think Tajikistan President Rahmon himself is forcing these measures or is directed to take these measures against the wish of the population for economic reason where is under control of the WEST?

		<description><![CDATA[I have to agree here with Kim, compulsion is the real issue with Hijab.
I can tell you - from a first hand experience- that enforcing Hijab as a requirement dictated by God has turned the veil into a uniform for all Muslim women. What really amazes me that most women wear it without second thoughts. The herd mentality is in control. You get to see a 4 years old girl in Hijab - what a 4 years old girl has to hide except her innocence. 
On the other hand you get to watch hookers, theives and drug dealers in Hijab.
One more thing, the Muhajabbat- women in Hijab- cover their hair but at the same time wear tight jeans, shirts and full make up.
So, what is the idea here. Nature always has a way. You can`t prevent a 17 years old girl from celebrating her body even if she wore a Hijab.
Modesty is in the kind of manners - not clothes- people display.]]></description>
