Muslim Women Eating Spaghetti

Happy Friday! Thanks to my regular "visitor" Jason for providing the link to this in a comment under Allah on an Egg. We may have our political disagreements, but a couple of things we do agree on. . .there are no invisible sky daddies, and religious fundamentalism is ABSURD, OPPRESSIVE AND DANGEROUS. (and sometimes downright inconvenient!)

This is actually a stunt done by a british comedy troupe called "3 Non-Blondes". It's basically a no-holds-barred candid camera show. Very funny: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/tv/3_nonblondes/

parge - Thanks for the link. I have not seen this program before. I will have to look for it.

Though they are making fun of muslim women for just amusement or to make a point (or both), I have seen a muslim woman in her burqa eating this way (not spaghetti though)in the cafeteria of the university I was attending at the time. I kid you not! She was putting the food under the veil and I wanted to go up to her and say, "just take the damn thing off...no one here is going to stone you if you do!"
