SHROUDS

The resurrection of the dead is a fundamental and central doctrine of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Many religious critics have alleged that even Christ’s resurrection was borrowed from the accounts of Osiris, God of the underworld, and the best-known life-death-rebirth deity in all ancient Egyptian history Thus in preparation to meet thy maker, a shroud, burial sheet, or winding-cloth, usually cotton or linen but with no pockets is wrapped around a body after it has been ceremonially washed and readied for burial. Certainly the most controversial and famous burial garment is the Shroud of Turin.

More to the point today we have an insurrection, while not yet violent, against the wearing of another kind of covering…the niqab or the burqa. European governments are escalating the introduction of laws on the basis that the face covering encourages female subjugation, lack of communication, non-safety, isolation, female abuse, and non-conformity to the western culture. In fact the Koran only dictates to modesty in dress. More so now the government and police authorities in the Netherlands, a usually very tolerant nation, have become anxious regarding security worries that a terrorist could use one for concealment.  Well my shrouded cars could be the same as most do conceal “old bombs”.
