HEROINE OF THE WEEK


This woman rocks. I've swiped the entire article by Hambo at Pigazette.com & hope he dosen't have a hissy fit. The youtube clip above is her handing some jerk his cojones on a platter. Go Girl.
Also, see her here on youtube.
Heroine of the Week: To put this particular reality check in context, you should know that, recently, the retards on the Saudi Shura Council had a prolonged discussion about the need for covering a woman’s face when she appears on television. Believe it or not, there are women on the Saudi boob tube and one of them, a woman named Buthayna Nasser, got into a cleric’s face about this cover your face crap, on the air.
To say that she unloaded on him is an understatement. She tore that stunned bastard a new one. You gotta know it's the first time any woman performed that overdue operation on him and she did it ON THE AIR.
Here is her 'listen up, Sparky' reality check as translated by the MEMRI Intenet Site:
Sir, when I appear on TV, and when I claim my right to play a role in this professional field, I demand that my face, which constitutes my identity, be seen. Under no circumstances am I prepared to allow my identity to be obliterated.
[...]
Who are these people who wish to decide for me how I should behave? Why do you treat me as less qualified just because I am a woman? Why is there always a male voice deciding how I should behave? The Lord created me equal to you in my duties, punishment, and reward. When you fast, I fast. When you pray, I pray. When you steal, your hand is cut off, and when I steal, my hand is cut off. This is the greatest evidence that I am not less qualified. I know what I am doing, and I know how to maintain my honor.

Walid wondered how I, as a newscaster, can describe Saudi society as being brainwashing. There is nothing to be surprising about, Dr. Walid. From the age of six or seven, from elementary school until high school, when we reach the age of 18, and even later, when we go to university - we memorize, memorize, and memorize. Whoever dares to argue or to question anything is called upon to ask for Allah's forgiveness. He is told that this will get him into Hell. You, who frighten people with Hell, have brought them a hell upon earth. You have banned books of the various intellectual streams. You've prevented the mind from operating, thinking, comparing, and choosing, even though it is the same mind that the Creator gave people in order to choose between Paradise and Hell. Our Lord honored Man by giving him the freedom to choose his path in this life, and the consequences are revealed in the world to come. Deeds are measured by the intent, and, as the Great Teacher taught us, good intentions steer our behavior. Yes sir, we are being brainwashed on a daily basis, through schools, through the Koran memorization schools. We always demand that these schools not be places of memorization, but for places for teaching, for interpretation, and for learning the keys to the Arab language, which is the secret to understanding the Koran and mysteries. Enough memorizing like parrots. Yes, we are all brainwashed, except for the few spared by God.
In a men are men and you’re not nation like Saudi Arabia, it takes one hell of a woman to go toe to toe with any man. Make that man a cleric and you've got some major moxie. Tear this cleric a new one on television and you’ve got off the damn scale courage. If Comrade Hillary, the NO NAD whiners and the caterwauling Womyn’s Studies cretins want to see what a REALLY LIBERATED woman looks like...If they want to see a woman who is damn sure in the process of liberating herself against overwhelming odds, then they need to get acquainted with this stellar Saudi woman. This pagan scribbler honors Buthayna Nasser for her courage and her ability to reject the decades of brainwashing to become a sovereign individual.
