Veiled British Muslim woman delivers alternative Xmas message
36 minutes ago
A Muslim woman in a full-face veil went head-to-head on television with Queen Elizabeth II, delivering an alternative Christmas Day message on religious integration.
At the same time the 80-year-old monarch's Christmas message to Britain and the Commonwealth was broadcast, a woman known only as Khadijah spoke on Channel 4 television Monday about why she wore the niqab in public and called for tolerance.
"We are seen as oppressed. Since I've started covering I feel much more liberated, which I know a lot of people possibly won't be able to understand," she said.
"I don't wear the niqab to separate myself from society. I want to be part of this society -- this is where I choose to live. I hope that society is more accepting of my personal choice. It's not about separation."
Khadijah's appearance comes amid a debate about the extent of religious and ethnic integration following last year's home-grown Islamist extremist suicide attacks in London.
The row intensified in October when former foreign secretary Jack Straw said he asks Muslim women to remove their veils when they visit him in his constituency, saying it helped communication.
Prime Minister Tony Blair then called the veil a "mark of separation" between communities.
Khadijah -- who converted to Islam a decade ago and said she is the great-granddaughter of a suffragette who fought for women's right to vote -- said Straw's comments were not helpful.
But she also said that Britain was the best country for people to practise their religion freely.

I'd like to ask a couple of questions here. If the muslims are so damned great, where is their technology? Just how many communications satellites have they lofted. How many homeless men, women and children have they fed? How many heretofore incurable diseases have they cured. How many automobiles have they produced? How many aircraft have they designed, built and marketed?
The list could go on and on, but I won't trouble all of you. Anyone with even half a brain will immediately know that these people and their sick mental disorder called "Islam" are total failures. Any people who spend the larger part of the day bumping their stupid heads on the ground and forcing their women to retreat into a bundle of rage called a "burka" ain't going any place.
And finally, how many Christians do any of us know who has ever beheaded anyone and claimed that it was done in the name of Jesus Christ?
SLAVERY IS FREEDOM.
WAR IS PEACE.
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
Unbelieveable! the depths to which this once great country has sunk...
Without a serious course correction very soon, they 'R' us...

"...a dumpy looking liberal western woman ...wouldn't have to shave that beard, squeeze those zits, wash her greasy rats nest called hair, shave legs or any other repetitive tasks like that."
I think I saw this one at Wal-Mart yesterday. I couldn't say if her legs needed shaving--she was wearing stretch pants that were about three sizes too small.
Ha! Was thinkin the same thing here.
"Unbelieveable! the depths to which this once great country has sunk...

Thank you for judging the entire country on the basis of one of our media outlets. Presumably one can judge the whole of the USA just by reading a couple of stories in the New York Times...?
My initial reaction was exactly the same.
"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength."
No, Canard, not a few articles in one of your media outlets.
Many articles, changes in public policy, a general shift in the country's people toward liberalism...
Mind you this is just one woman's opinion. I am frightened for the future of the whole of Europe...
And, like I said, seeing waaaaay too much of the same in the good 'ole US of A...
The answer is the leftist doctrine of "Diversity uber alles." In their view, one falsely accused muzzie is a greater injustice than a nuked British city. Couple this with white leftists' self-loathing, and you can see the danger that the left poses to Western civilization. As we all know, the left controls the media, so they allow these 7th century savages to speak freely.
Although I find such muzzie tripe distasteful, it does have the positive effect of further alienating the muzzies from the majority. The sooner they are alienated, the sooner they will be defeated. So to the muzzies, I say, "Keep pushing."
Britain had religious integration until the damn Muslims came in. If they don't like Britain, it's back to the Middle East for them.
Why should the Brits feel guilty? It's obvious it's the Muslims who are intolerant and bigoted.
Sure I understand. Now she can do anything she wants and no one can ID her.
You're right. It is utter nonsense.

Idiotic doublespeak from a brainwashed moron. What woman on earth would not want to be wrapped from head to toe like a summer sausage? What woman on earth would not want to be treated like a pet or chattel?
Obviously this cow wants it. You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink. If this is what some of the women want, then let them suffer in their "choice". But the n let the women who want to actually integrate and throw off the shackles of an oppressive religion stuck in the dark ages do so without being hunted down by their families and killed. After all, don't they have a choice as well as this dumb butt?
