Burqa ban: Angry cleric calls Bruni a prostitute
I first spotted this in The Times of India, who got it from the UK tabloid the Daily Star, well known for its pin-up models but also a useful source of odd stories. And writers from the Indian press, who I am sure are only there for the news, do find those stories of interest for their readers.
LONDON: In a bid to hit back at French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s attempts to ban the burqa in the country , hardline Islamic cleric Anjem Choudary has branded his wife Carla Bruni a prostitute.
Choudary has said that former model and singer Bruni, 41, represents the face of a depraved Western society where women are treated like sex objects.
Choudary, 42, below, wrote on the Islam4UK website: “Sarkozy may be content with being wed to a prostitute who flaunts her body to the world believing it to be righteous conduct, but he is reminded that a Muslim is not this shallow and depraved.”
That's a matter of opinion, of course. Child marriage, polygamy, slavery etc.
