If they're in office, do they still have to wear burkas and head shields?

But as they are only let out with a male family member, who says theyll even get to the polling station?

"NO no, my dear, I don't mind if you go out and vote. Not a problem at all. Just remember, when you get back, I'm going to have you beaten and blinded for not having my clothes washed, my dinner on the table, my children fed, my dick sucked, and my lunch packed for tomorrow. No hun, you go on ahead and take the day to vote."

"What?! you don't want to be beaten and maimed for disrespecting my wishes?!!?" "Than I suggest you just stay at home."



good christ, I'm glad I'm not a muslim woman.

Just a little envious that I'm not a muslim man...lol.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
