'Orzala'... spookily similar to 'Orla'... probably no relation, though.
Like Orla, Orzala speaks assertively and with authority, in her case that of Britain's best-known, best-funded, most Righteous, possibly most economically illiterate, Robin-Hood-tax-advocating, warble gloaming suction-pump for the surreptitious appropriation of your money and its transmission to... 'experts' like Orzala.
Among the gems which Orzala gave us this morning:
- Women in the UK and the USA do not have equality with men (so save your breath and stop bleating about women under Islam especially in Afghanistan where things are really improving!)
One wonders what Oxfam looks for when picking its report-writing experts. Sorry - I lied. One knows precisely what Oxfam looks for.
- Sharia law gives women more rights than any other religion 'that I know about' (so hush your damn mouth about Islam oppressing women)
Though Humphrys snorted audibly, there wasn't time to for him to ask whether Orzala had ever heard of those famous martyrs to sexual oppression, Margaret Thatcher, Condi Rice and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
There was no time to mention that, unlike Sharia, neither British nor American law brings charges of sexual crimes carrying the death penalty against girls from the age of nine on the grounds that 1,500 years ago a desert preacher had sexual intercourse with his nine-year-old wife and therefore all nine year old girls are sexually adult, responsible and capable of corrupting male adults for which they may be held legally culpable and killed.
There was no time to point out that the UK and USA have no laws which would arraign and convict a 16-year old girl who has been repeatedly raped on a charge of immorality on the word of a single male accuser, possibly her 'dishonoured' father or brother whose word, naturally, they being male, outweighs defence statements from two female witnesses because they are women.
There was no time to point out to Orzala that no American judge would sentence such a woman to be killed by being buried up to her shoulders in a park in Bumble Bee, AZ, so that her pious American (male) neighbours would not be inconvenienced by her running off while, supervised by the judge, they are trying in to smash her skull with rocks in the name of Jesus - Hallelujah, brothers!
There was no time to mention that no British judge would sentence her to be hanged from a crane specially erected in the market place of Chipping Norton so that, supervised by the judge, its pious English townsmen (sic) could cheer and cry Alleluia! as they watch her hauled into the air by chains around her neck, writhing and choking as her face turns black and her eyes bulge from their sockets, praise the Lord!
There also wasn't time to mention that it was English and American Christians, notably Anglicans and Quakers, who fought successfully for the abolition of slavery which is (nothing to do with Islam, obviously) rife in Islamic countries, the slave-owners mostly being pious Muslims and the slaves mostly kuffar.
There was no time to mention that it was mostly not Muslims, funnily enough, but Christians, notably Methodists and Catholics, who fought for and are still demanding the enfranchisement of all adults including women, a right withheld from women by men in most Islamic societies and in particular in Islam's holiest city.
Still, we have a nice report from Oxfam, written by an expert carefully chosen because she knows all you need to know about important wimmin stuff and freedom and all that.
