My point is that no-one coming to this country should be allowed to practice discriminations that are ILLEGAL and UNACCEPTABLE in our society, and Muslims are no exception.

It's not unreasonable of me to believe that men who go along with the subjugation of women are misogynistic since I would expect anyone, male or female, to condemn such blatant sex discrimination.

Surely then you should start a little closer to home, how about forcing the Roman Catholic Church to ordain women and have them allow women to serve at all levels within it?

As for not giving a toss about what a person believes or the religion they follow, its apparent you do. Read the above paragraph. Is the RC not as guilty of sexual discrimination? So its okay for them but not Muslims to be discriminatory?

Incisentally you talk about people being discriminatory but do you have any proof of this, if a woman who wears the veil says she wants to wear it, do you automatically assume she is being forced to say that or has been brainwashed. But do you have any concrete proof that women are forced by men to wear the burka?
