Let The Flowing Locks Reign

Do you believe this? Oh, stupid me ~ of course you do... This another example of our "co-humans" existing in the "Religion of Peace." (Oops, we're the descendants of Apes, Pigs, and other animals, according to them...) 

We have to engage in salutations for a person not wanting to cover her hair in a hijab...? What is wrong here? But, she faces flogging for her conviction not to do so.

Sharia in action in Sudan: Woman faces flogging for uncovered hair ~ September 9, 2013 


"Moreover, freedom in America is indivisible from the freedom to practice one's religion. That is why there is a mosque in every state in our union, and over 1,200 mosques within our borders. That's why the United States government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab and to punish those who would deny it." -- Barack Obama, Cairo, June 4, 2009

But who will go to court, or do anything at all, in the U.S. or Sudan or anywhere else, to protect the right of women and girls not to wear the hijab and to punish those who would deny it? (Sing it, Obama...)

 "Sudanese woman Amira Osman Hamed faces flogging for uncovered hair," from AFP, September 9th. 

 A SUDANESE woman says she's prepared to be flogged to defend the right to leave her hair uncovered in defiance of a Taliban-like law.
Amira Osman Hamed faces a possible whipping if convicted at a trial which could come on September 19.

Under Sudanese law, her hair - and that of all women - is supposed to be covered with a "hijab", but Ms Hamed refuses.

The 35-year-old's case has drawn support from civil rights activists and is the latest to highlight Sudan's series of laws governing morality, which took effect after the 1989 Islamist-backed coup by President Omar al-Bashir.

"They want us to be like Taliban women," Ms Hamed said in an interview with AFP, referring to the fundamentalist rebel movement in Afghanistan.
She is charged under Article 152 which prohibits "indecent" clothing.

Activists say the vaguely-worded law leaves women subject to police harassment and disproportionately targets the poor in an effort to maintain "public order.”
Ms Hamed said she was visiting a government office in Jebel Aulia, just outside Khartoum, on August 27 when a policeman aggressively told her to cover her head.

"He said, 'You are not Sudanese. What is your religion?'"

"I'm Sudanese. I'm Muslim, and I'm not going to cover my head," replied Ms Hamed.

Her dark hair, tinged golden, is braided tight against her scalp with a flare of curls at the back.

In 2009 the case of Lubna Ahmed al-Hussein, a journalist, led to a global outcry and attention toward women's rights in Sudan.
Ms Hussein was fined for wearing slacks in public but she refused to pay. She spent one day behind bars until the Sudanese Journalists' Union paid the fine on her behalf.

Others rounded up with her in a restaurant were flogged.
