Indian Shooter Heena Sidhu Refuses To Wear A Hijab, Withdraws From Airgun Competition In Iran [More]What is she, some kind of hater?
This reminds me of the time Oriana Fallaci threw off the chador she was forced to wear to interview the ayatollah, right in front of him, calling it a "stupid, medeival rag."
Or subversive attorney Cheryl Borman, who wanted a U.S. court to order women present to wear hijabs "out of respect" for terrorist clients, so that they would not have to avert their eyes "for fear of committing a sin under their faith"...
[Via Jeet]
Oriana Fallaci was a piece of work. She was a communist, but an Italian communist (they're a little different), and she strongly believed in free speech. She was indicted in Italy for defaming Islam, and she stayed away from Italy and only returned to stand trial when she had end-stage cancer. I often use my favorite Fallaci quote: "I say what I want. You can go fuck yourself."
