And the pressure ratchets up another notch.

Ping!

[mkjessup]

I favor veils for alleged women such as Christianne Amanforsure, and of course for Helen Thomas.

2 people read the Daily express. How they get this percentage?

[A CA Guy]

I bet they are also jumping over each other in the Muslim community to declare Fatwas and Jihads agaisnt radical Islam and Osama Bin Laden right?

[Anti-Bubba182]

If the ban does not pass people should start wearing ski masks
in protest.

[TheCrusader]

"Ninety-eight per cent of Daily Express readers agreed that a restriction would help to safeguard racial harmony and improve communication."

This will be a good test of who and what the British government represents, themselves, political correctness and multiculturalism, or the people.

[Tamar1973]

Well, I understand perfectly. Britons (and everyone else for that matter) have the right to have a good look at whoever is approaching them for whatever reason. If you want to hide your hair from public view, fine with me. However, there's no good reason to hide your face in public. Only bank robbers and KKK members hide their faces in public. Hardly the kind of company a good Muslim woman should want to be line up with.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Long past time to tell the muslims to piss off.

[KellyAdmirer]

The Arabs ban things such as women driving and women in bikinis. I don't see a single problem with banning veils, and anyone who santimoniously squawks about "free societies" should go live in a Muslim country for a while and enjoy their "freedom."

"Women... cannot take their full place in society."

Hear hear! "Pass the grapes dear, and you missed a spot..."

[William Terrell]

Outside of a dedicated Muslim community and in a free state, it's not about modesty; it's about identification.

I believe each person has the right they may be able to recognize another, in case that other injures them. The only reason another might refuse that right is because they want to live in darkness, or they're ugly as hell.

[FreedomPoster]

Good luck to you folks on outlawing that nonsense. Hope you're successful.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

Predicton:

This friday = MORE ARAB STREET OUTRAGE!!!!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Good job!!!

[DB]

It seems to me that this is really just a band-aid for a symptom as opposed to a solution for the real problem.

[Brizick]

I think the 'minority who hijacked Islam' jumped the shark with their response to the Pope.

Could it be that those who tolerated multiculturalism are finally saying: Enough is enough?

We can only hope.

What we really need is the MSM to tell the truth about the goals and objectives of the takfiris who justify the killing of infidels AND Muslims who do not wish to live under sharia.

[Mrs Ivan]

A little quote from Rod Liddle in this weeks Spectator:

"The veil - whether a gentle covering of the hair with an agreeably patterned silk scarf or the full burka - matters only in that it is a symbol of female subjugation. The varying extremes to which Muslim women will ('voluntarily') go in order to comply with their religious strictures does not matter one jot; what matters is the central tenet, that women need to dress this way because otherwise they will be culpable for the lascivious attentions of men. That they are thus guilty of contributory negligence. And that, further, women have a clearly defined and specific role in life, which is to support their menfolk and to do as they are bidden."

Which I think is a rather nice summary of exactly what is wrong with the veil!

He also goes on to note that "if a white Christian girl petitioned a headmaster or local education department to allow her to cover herself up from top to toe because she feared the predatory attentions of her male co-students, she would be sent to the school psychiatrist.", another truth, which I include here because it amused me.

[Dallas59]

RACISM!

[Post Toasties]

Muslim women who wear veils are marginalizing themselves in modern society, no matter what they may think. For instance, by the mere fact of wearing such a veil, she indicates that she is a nothing more than a chattel of her spouse like a pig or a dog, and does not have independent judgment.

[NRA2BFree]

Uh Oh! Ivan, you guys are going to have riots on your side of the pond! Carry a big stick with you. ;o) Not only do we have Muslims who cover their faces, but now we're got the Mexican "bandito" who wear masks when they march in the streets. It's all typical 3rd world behavior that they want to bring to our countries and then dictate 'their' policies to us! I say every doggone one of them needs to return to their country of birth, and stay there!
