Who�s ready for the world famous and highly anticipated one-piece, conservative beach sarong competition? I can imagine a scenario in which a Western contestant, keen on the kind of nose-thumbing at stuffy cultural norms that lifted the dreary �Little Miss Sunshine� to Oscar commendations and would lift her to viral video fame, rips off her sarong to reveal�gasp!�a shocking two-piece swimsuit. Sadly, an act which truly gave power and purpose to a display of the female form would probably be tsk-tsked by the same people who lectured Americans about their �puritanical� nature after, say, Janet Jackson�s wardrobe malfunction. Not to mention, she�d probably earn a fatwa along with her fame.

Maybe they should all wear a burka since everyone is so accommodating to the Muslims.

When is it going to dawn on these folk like John Kerry what the future holds by coddling these people?

They have no concept of freedom!!!

That is so true and that's what we're doing. Trying to acclimate a Muslim into American society can't be done unless we all convert to Islam and bow to Allah. It's so obvious to intelligent common sense people.

yeah no kidding, that is a surprise.

how'd that get by us Frank?
