Don We Anyway Our Veiled Apparel

We told you in previous posts about he British Muslim who was going to deliver the "Democratic response" so to speak to the Queen's annual Christmas message. At first she was going to deliver it in full veil, then she backed out when it appeared that it would be a very unpopular move, but ended up giving the message after all. It was classic:

A veil-wearing Muslim convert today claimed the way she chooses to dress makes her feel "liberated" as she delivered an alternative Christmas message.

Khadija, the great-granddaughter of a suffragette, rejected claims that the niqab that covers her face is a mark of separation.

She said that remarks by Leader of the Commons Jack Straw about the veil earlier this year were not helpful to Muslims "trying to live quite peacefully in this society".

But she also said that Britain is the best country to live in for people who want to practise their religion freely.

Ain't that the truth. Some of your fellow adherants can even blow up portions of the British mass transit system and still feel free to practice their "religion" in England due to the English desire for political correctness and their reluctance to confront the evil in their own country.

As Allahpundit put it, the veil is the "facial equivalent of the chastity belt", and this grandaughter of a suffragette is, through her efforts, attempting to return women to the medieval status of chattel property.

Just this weekend the terrorist chatter in London was so high that one American official stated that "it would be a miracle if there wasn't an attack over the holidays". I wonder who those attackers might be?
