Like turkeys voting for Christmas

(Tunisia) Hundreds of nigab covered women (well, I think they were women) protested on the streets of Tunis today calling for the return of the caliphate, that Islamic state which ruled with an iron jackboot from Spain to India. In fact, just like the system in place in Iran, Saudi Arabia or even Syria, you know, that theological way of governance invented by a few men in which to control everybody else. Which is why under Islam, women have no rights, they cannot leave the house without a male member present, have to cover up, get to have sex with a man around 40 years her senior and, if she's lucky, she gets the chance to be murdered by stoning if somebody makes up a false rumour about her.
