The most unflattering headgear known to woman

As we are always reminding all those doubters out there, girls just wanna have fun. The body language of Faye Turney (photo above left with cocky beret as she sees herself, a Woman Warrior) -- the British gal being psychologically and probably physically abused by the gynophobic leaders of the Republic of Iran (photo above right, with the most unflattering headgear known to woman, the one preferred by Islamic men who choose to project their unwanted sexual urges onto us gals) with an assist from the moral-equivalency left who unfavorably compare her "compassionate" treatment at the hands of those anti-American hate-mongers with the all-American treament of prisoners of war now held at Guantanamo -- reveals all to anyone still in touch with common sense and human nature.

What's in a hat? The two faces/hats of Faye Turney, that British sailor who "admitted" under duress that she loved being kidnapped by Iranian Muslim terrorists (just as Fox News correspondent Steve Centani admitted at gunpoint he'd seen the light and "converted" to Islam):

1. As she sees herself, above left, a woman with a mission -- "I know by doing this job I can give [my baby girl] everything she wants in life and hopefully seeing me doing what I do, she’ll grow up knowing a woman can have a family and have a career at the same time."

2. As the gynophobic Islamicists see all women, above right, submissive to their male betters. The cigarette is quite a statement, no doubt an expression of the terrorists' "compassion" for their victims. No word yet from the anti-tobacco lobby.

"'In 1981, Abol-Hassan Bani-Sadr, the first president of the Islamic Republic [of Iran], announced that 'scientific research had shown that women’s hair emitted rays that drove men insane,' writes Amir Taheri at Town Hall," we blogged three years back. (Michelangelo's Mother of Christ from "Pieta" left and "Slinky Knits" two-piece hijab)

"I think we should do our best to humiliate them" says Fox News's Geraldo, a human person we rarely quote with approval, but he's right on about the latest pathetic Iranian attempt to intimidate the weak horses of the west. Unfortunately, Tony Blair is no Margaret Thatcher. Wobbliness could occur at any time.

We're no fan of mothers of very young children who go off to war. We were lucky enough to have a mother who was devoted to orchestrating a magical fun and funny world for us kids in our early years. She gave us a zillion happy times going to the beach, having friends overnight to play dolls and doing all kinds of things both she and we thought would be fun. But Faye Turney (above with baby Molly) -- "a sea survival specialist trained to deal with emergency situations" -- made her choice. Presumably the family came to terms with her decision. Whatever her choice, there is no excuse for the Mullahs' obscene use of her as a prop in their megalomaniacal fantasy.

I think they tortured her by witholding her smokes.

However, I consider her statements to be unforgiveable for a military person unless drug-induced.

And what makes you think they weren't coerced in some way. The minute she gets home and her fellow sailors are released, I guarantee we will hear a whole different story.

The Islamofascists do not really understand our cultures very well, you know. They think that what they are doing right now is making them big deals throughout the world, as they believe that their vile threats of destruction aimed at Israel (primarily) and our nation (collaterally) will make us quiver with terror. What they do not understand - and probably never will - is that this great nation (and Israel) will only tolerate so much nonsense before slamming back in a most definitive manner. Israel especially is capable of doing real damage and they're already provoked to the edge of retaliation.

The thing is obscene and you're right - Blair is too weak.

If Blair pulls a Jimmah Carter, he'll lose all the respect he's gained up to now with his stance on the war.

As for the prisoners - we have zero way of knowing what is going on behind the scenes there. I refuse to ridicule them for what is presented in teeny bits and pieces to the media. As we all know it's very easy to manipulate pictures and video.

Until they get back and we get their entire story - we have no standing to criticize them... even then, I'd venture to say we don't have much room to snark at those who put their lives on the line for their country.

I have lived in Iran in the 70's when I was working for a gas company, and you shouldn't stereotype Islamic countries. Most Iranians are very nice, hospitable people, and Gayle-you are very wrong. Many of the men AND women there don't wan't women to wear headscarves because those women prefer to show off their hair, but before the Islamic Revolution in 1979, The King was in power and life was much more peaceful, free and secular then. By the way, it's us stupid, islamphobic Brits who don't understand one single bit of what theEasis like, yet we think we think we do but eating curries and stir fries.
