France has first ‘burka rage’ incident

A 60-year-old lawyer ripped a Muslim woman’s Islamic veil off in a row in a clothing shop in what police say is France’s first case of “burka rage”.

It is no surprise to me that the assailant was female…western women spent a century breaking out of the kitchen and off the chaise longue to participate as fully in society as they choose to and it is infuriating to see this retrograde cultural phenomenon of veiled women taking hold on the specious grounds of religious freedom…my own sister said she felt like ripping off veils when she saw them…and she is over 65 and a middle-of-the-road feminist.

Cool. That logic makes me a Martian.
