We will know we are winning the war when we can safely ignore our strippers

The terrified pole-dancing daughter of radical cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed is in hiding after death threats from Muslim extremists.
Read about it all at Blogging for a Free World.

UPDATE: Reading more about this story, I see the UK paper, The Sun, reporting that:
HATE preacher Omar Bakri Mohammed paid for a boob job which launched his daughter’s pole dancing career, it was revealed last night.

He forked out £4,000 in CASH for 27-year-old Yasmin Fostock’s bust-boosting surgery — while living on BENEFITS in the UK.

The revelation will spark further public outrage against the fanatical Muslim cleric — now in Lebanon after being kicked out of Britain.

Bakri, 50, who rants about Western “depravity” and blasts women who flaunt their sexuality, secretly paid for Yasmin to increase her A cup size to a DD.

Sources close to the blonde beauty said the op set her on the path to the raunchy career which shamed her strict Muslim family.
[...]
“She played the daddy’s girl and said it would make her feel more of a mother when she was breast feeding her children.

“He went along with it and even went to the top London clinic with her where he paid for the surgery in cash.

“The rest of the family were set against it, but he insisted she should have her way if it would make her a better mother.

“But it backfired disastrously because her new figure encouraged her to go out and flaunt her new body.

Thanks for the link, Trueppers.

I just feel this girl's life is really a tragic one...

Hi Claudia,

Yes it sounds entirely tragic: a justifiable rebellion that has left her doomed, but hopefully not forever.

Thanks for being our first Blogger "follower" - how does that work?

Yes, hopefully.

About the "following" gadget (to show who is following you): Go to Blogger in draft, then to dashboard, then to layout, then press "add Gadget" and seek for "Followers" one.

If you want to follow someone, go to Dashboard again. Scroll down to see "Blogs I follow". At first, is says "You're not following any blog". Just add those you want to follow. It only lets you add blogger's blogs.

Hi Claudia, it's nice to meet you. Charles and I also blog here, so there's a chance you'll encounter us in your follow-ups with Truepeers' efforts.

For this evening at least, this will be my only comment. I am a deeply shallow guy, obviously. Bakri's daughter's tragedy is a tragedy even if it fits that man's deserved fate to a tee. But the daughter, that's too bad about her. I can see it as just one more crime he's committed against Humanity and Humanness itself. The girl can come out of this in glowing triumph, if she lives. For her there is now a great hope. She can rise above it all and come into some real glory. The revolt of Muslim women, even by this hard road, is something I welcome. There is freedom on the horizon for Muslims through Muslim women. Let's hope for their safety as it comes about.
