I watched this link.... I am truly shocked, as you said, but the laughing :bored:

I am disgusted that this is being passed around british mosques

^ Interesting to see that the above youtube video has been taken off.

I must admit I'm slightly changing my opinion on this banning business.I think that the issue is almost entirely about the conditioning by parents, particularly fathers,on their daughters, and effectively pressurizing them into wearing the Niqab and Burqa.This is a step too far and does infringe on a child's human right to independent choice.This type of influence is not really the freedom of choice that our western culture has grown to enjoy,and on that basis I think there is more justification for a full ban on the Niqab and Burqa.

When I see someone wearing a Burqa I see a woman imprisoned !

Or, if not that, something unknown and a possible security risk.

It would still be very tricky to make a ban tho, but at least for once the Euro Parliament would not veto it, as France have already set a precedent, I believe.

hmmm yep interesting to see that video has been banned......
this git is still on youtube spitting his bile though.....

dont tarnish all muslims with the same brush!

its like saying all footballers want sex with every willing woman going & they all want fast cars! people like paul scholes are a fine & very rare example of good examples. the same with muslims (& other people in other proffessions in general). yes, the majority which is usually the bad side will always be in the public eye, but what about those that are good examples!?!?

its better to take the religion for WHAT it is, not from those that are bad examples (the majority) & make things harder for those who are actually good examples (the minority).

its like saying all people that live in council estates are chavs, every teenager that wears a hoddie is a knightmare, people that drink alchohol are alchoholics, every english person drinks tea, all americans support bush, every muslim is a terrorist, every muslim woman is oppressed! come on. yes, many muslim people put culture before the actual islamic teachings, but if you look at the islamic teachings (via the link above) you will see that many muslims put culture first, which is of course wrong.

& as you can see (in the link above), the minority of good muslims was fighting terrorism way before sept 11th!

i agree with you abs, i just cant believe you needed to say that...

it had to be said because it seemed like everyone couldn't see the bigger picture, hence why i used other examples.
