I honestly could give less of a ****, It's my choice, i control my self no one can be controlled beyond the age of 18. I want my religion, it gives me obedience and respect and yes i have done some bad things but religion always helps me and im sure helps many others and it's up to them that they follow it. If they are not moderate than there only fooling them selves. My dad is Extremely religious, yet knowing we are in a European country like many other muslims we don't force women or even sons we just ask them don't cross boundaries and if they do it is up to them to leave the house and live by themselves if they disagree with the rules (After there 18 afcourse) because the father then tryed as we say in islam and the Family are legally and Islamically not his Priority.

This is Britain (like it or not) with its own culture and religion. People who come to this country should not have an automatic right to practice their religion here when it flies in the face of the dominant religion/culture of that country ie the wearing of burkas. You choose to live in another country - you abide by their rules and culture. Simple. Not hard to understand.

Britain, and the western world, has been very accepting and tolerant of other cultures and religions - resulting in certain groups/religions taking things for granted and taking advantage. For you to imply that because the British culture has certain issues with the wearing of burkas - that justifies extremists hating and terrorising the country - is completely unreasonable. It is not us in the wrong - it is them.

If the wearing of burkas is so crucial to their views - then why choose to live in Britain. Seems to me that when push comes to shove - the economic advantages and comforts offered by living here outweigh their religious beliefs. In other words - they don't have the courage of their convictions - and simply want everything their way.
