Amnesty International: Banning Segregation of Women Violates Women’s Rights
Daniel Greenfield
Denmark passed a law banning the burka. The tent-like garment is a form of mobile purdah, or segregation, that covers the entire body. Denmark joined some other European countries in deciding Thursday to ban garments that cover the face, including Islamic veils such as the niqab or burqa. In a 75-30 vote with 74 absentees,…

Roseanne: Free Speech Isn’t Just About Government Restrictions
Daniel Greenfield
Katherine Timpf at National Review offers a very reductive take on Roseanne’s firing. She was fired, and she deserved to be fired.

New York Times: We Only Help Cause School Shootings to Push Gun Control
Daniel Greenfield
Does the media help cause school shootings? Short answer, yes. Some 200 years later, German television debuted “Death of a Student”, a six-part series about Claus Wagner, a high school student who commits suicide by jumping under a train.

Democrats Condemn Trump for Not Inviting Them to Embassy Opening They Oppose
Daniel Greenfield
In, “The Democrats don’t have a foreign policy, they have a Trump policy”, I recently wrote that the hatred of Trump has hollowed out the Dems so that they no longer think about a lot of issues, but just reflexively oppose whatever Trump is doing. Here’s an example of this schizoid “Whatever Trump does is…

Canadian Spa Gives Us First Muslim Baking Gay Wedding Cake Case
Daniel Greenfield
Conservatives have speculated what would happen if an immovable victim class hit an unstoppable underprivileged group. Some tried to make it happen by asking Muslim bakers to bake a gay wedding cake. But that was never going to work. This on the other hand is an actual case. And it’s glorious. (via Instapundit.) The owner…
