Does the UK not issue tourist visas to Ukrainians? Because I’m sure the original FEMEN girls wouldn’t miss their chance to shine at London Olympics, but all I see is the French Femen. The French FEMEN are not not overweight, and, get this, they have Islamic names. Judging by the video available on The Telegraph, they have the potential. But the original FEMEN, who are known for their ability to produce memorable pictures, need to watch out. Don’t let some well-meaning but poorly produced ladies to water down your brand.
Femen France were protesting participation of countries governed by Sharia law:
“The regimes are fascists of our time, they treat women like third-class citizens,” said protester Reza Moradi, without specifying any countries. “This is what we object to, this is what they are protesting against.”
And here is their facebook statement:
“Femen demands that the International Olympic Committee condemns violence towards women from Islamist states,” they said on Facebook.
“Femen requires the states that apply the laws of Sharia be shut out of the Olympic Games because of the inhumanity of these laws, which are in total contradiction with Olympic principles of peace and philanthropy.
“Femen accuses these states of simulating democratic changes regarding the position of women,” Femen continued. “With the support of the IOC, these Islamist governments use the participation of women in the Olympic Games to hide thousands of victims and dead.”
Femen can make occupiers think. Now about the commemoration of the Munich massacre…
And exist question, does this qualify for anti-Jihad blogging?


The IOC won’t even acknowledge Munch 1972 they won’t do anything about “oppressive” Arab regimes and how they treat women.

Or waging war on their people, for that matter.

Yes, and Rule 5:-) I have no clue what FEMEN is. I’ll follow your links in the morning.

I’m happy they are protesting real oppression. A request, with all the protests going on, would you bump your Hunky Jesus post? I think I need it.
