POPSToy Company introduces the 'Doll in a Burka' for Iranian export! We also included a removable plastic brain, since our friends in Iran like women that have that feature." They has also added new accessories for their Doll in a Burka line up...A pink suicide bomber vest! A jewel encrusted dagger, and an internal recording that shouts in Farsi.."Down with America!" "Next, for the anniversay of the Iranian Islamic Revolution, we'll be adding the Jimmy Carter doll complete with an array of sharp pins!" Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told friends he was buying three to bring back home from New York City. Since he only has two daughters, speculation is that he wanted one for himself, since he often talked about 'peek-a-booing up a burka' as a source of getting turned on.

POPS Barbie in a Burkha 'I know Barbie was something seen as bad before as an image for girls, but in actual fact the message with Barbie for women is you can be whatever you want to be. 'I have a Barbie in a wheelchair that was only out for six weeks.' The mum-of-two's own Barbie collection is set to be displayed at London's Victoria and Albert Museum in 2012. Barbie was first launched in March 1959 by American businesswoman Ruth Handler. The doll was joined by her long-term boyfriend Ken in 1961. Rosie Shannon, from Save the Children, said all the proceeds from the auction will go to the charity. She said: 'We are delighted Sotheby's and the designer chose to auction the burka Barbie dolls for our charity.' The money will go towards the Rewrite the Future campaign which helps millions of children around the world effected by conflict.

POPSStreit um die Burka in Frankreich Eine Symbolik, die zu derjenigen der Burka in kaum größerem Gegensatz stehen könnte: Eugene Delacroixs "Die Freiheit führt das Volk" aus dem Jahr 1830. Hier die selbstbewusste, furchtlose Frau an der Spitze ihrer (männlichen) Mitkämpfer – und dort die vollständig abgeschirmte sowie wehrlose und darum den Blicken der Männer entzogene Muslima. Der Koran spreche an keiner Stelle vom Niqab oder der Burka, erläutert der Islamwissenschaftler Mohamed-Cherif Ferjani. Und auch Dalil Boubakeur, der Direktor der großen Moschee von Paris, verwies darauf, dass die Burka weder islamische Pflicht noch Tradition sei. Die für Stadtentwicklung zuständige Staatssekretärin Fadela Amara, Gründerin der Frauenrechtsbewegung "Ni putes ni soumises" ("Weder Huren noch Unterworfene"), unterstützte das Verbot. Die Burka sei das "deutliche und sichtbare Zeichen der Fundamentalisten und Islamisten", weshalb man es im Namen der Demokratie und der Frauen unterbinden müsse.

POPSWaiting To Find Someone Else "Even when she lived in Afghanistan, she did not wear a burka as her mother and sisters do. When she was 12, she said, she broke a cultural taboo by sitting with Afghan men to talk politics, encouraged by her father. She then raised $8,000 in a single night, selling home-cooked Afghan meals to American donors. She used the money to create the 100 Mothers Literacy Program to help educate women in her village. At first, there was resistance in Afghanistan, she said -- from village elders and the women themselves. The women said they were too old to learn and preferred that the money be used to build toilets. She said she feared Taliban insurgents or sympathizers would retaliate against them for teaching women -- considered apostasy by some Afghans. "My dad is one of the best dads ever," she said. "If he was a mean dad, it wouldn't be so hard to say no to him."

POPSAfghanistan: The Promise and the Reality
I have now spent several days in Afghanistan as an unembedded journalist, travelling around freely without an armed or military escort. Yes, it’s risky and at times nerve-wracking but if I want to find out what is really happening on the ground I’m not going to get it hiding in some hotel compound or army barracks being briefed by an army spokesman who knows even less than me. So far I’ve spoken to men and women from all backgrounds, cultures and Islamic ideologies and without exception they’re hacked off with the American presence. All the goodwill I saw after the fall of the Taliban has been squandered by the military presence of the US as well as the British (no one really distinguishes between the two) and it is crystal clear they have overstayed their welcome. The Taliban are in control of large swathes of the country and are now bordering on Kabul having already carried out several raids on the capital where Afghan leader Hamid Karzai is under virtual siege.

POPSSILLIEST PICTURE I'VE EVER SEEN... CAN IT BE REAL? (... Sigh, the rest of the world is marching into the 21st century, while sometimes I think the USA is marching back into the MIDDLE AGES! ) "A thought I have had more than once... But back to THE SILLIEST PICTURE I'VE EVER SEEN. I found this pic while in a search for something else... Really caught my eye... thought, No, this can't be real... it's got to be doctored... What do you think? As Vinnie Barbarino, use to say on WELCOME BACK CARTER... 'I'M SOOOOOOOOO CONFUSED!' Are these the people that the neoconservatives thought they could democratize? Then, the Neocons are even more stupid than the guy taking the picture!!! All the suffering, all the wasted lives, all the money spent ALL for NOTHING!"

POPSWer ein Haus baut, will bleiben. - Zum Kölner Moscheestreit
Ralph Giordano sollte die hilflosen Attacken seiner Gegner nicht als Indiz dafür nehmen, dass er selbst richtig liegt. Er hat die bedenkenswerten Elemente seiner Islamkritik unter so viel wütender Polemik versteckt, dass es schwer ist, sie überhaupt noch zur Kenntnis zu nehmen. Gegen die Burka sprechen die Menschenrechte, nicht Regeln des guten Geschmacks. Wer die Bevölkerung über Sakralbauten abstimmen lassen will, der kann nicht nur weitere Moscheen, sondern auch neue Synagogen wie in Leipzig und München vergessen. Giordano lehnt die Ehrenfelder Moschee ab, weil sie »ein falsches Signal« sei. Die Integration der Muslime sei »gescheitert«, eine Großmoschee aber suggeriere, sie sei gelungen. Die Erlaubnis zum Bau einer Moschee ist aber zum Glück kein Gnadenrecht, das die geneigte Mehrheit bei gelungener Integration verleiht, sondern eine Frage der Religionsfreiheit und des Baurechts. http://tinyurl.com/2omoag Siehe auch: http://tinyurl.com/32oqwr
