How dare you!

That old say has been changed to the more pc version:

When in Rome, impose your culture on the Romans.

buppppppppppppp

Hmm

I don't give a feck what people wear

Underneath it we are all people. Why should the covering matter?

Should I treat someone different as their face is covered? I think not

Sometimes I wonder of the point of living in a world so filled with hatred as this

It seems now the Kipper support base has drifted to only 7% of the electorate, Nutter is addressing the more hard core element of the party such as the Biffers with political questionable views.

They are now a spent force in UK politics and will soon evaporate with any support base

I think ukip is a joke, however, why do I need to remove my hat when I enter the shopping centre while burka wearers are allowed to go in with their face fully covered?

I feel discriminated against.

Most people don't care what others are wearing, but it is unfair to have a rule for burka and another for other head covers.

surprise once when outside an arab countries airport - in the vicinity (only) the local worker at the aieport wore skirts etc, not further afield

I was always taught as a child to look at someone when I talk to them. But how can I when your face is covered? I also have to lip read due to how I hear. Again, how do I do that if your face is covered? I can't.

Don't talk to them...

There was an excellent discussion on LBC radio about this. The Burka has nothing to do with the Koran or any of the original Muslim faith requirements. It originates from Saudi Arabian culture and they are financing the spread of their version of what being a Muslim should require. Most Muslims have nothing to do with this extreme version of their faith.

Dr Taj Hargey of the Muslim Educational Centre of Oxford put pressure on the Government to follow in the footsteps of France and Belgium, who have both outlawed face veils, at a conference about Islam.

 

He went on to question why Muslim women were not allowed to wear veils in the Muslim holy city of Mecca while the practice is still allowed in the UK.

 

He said: “Since the burka and niqab are ancient habits and not mentioned in the Koran, it is, therefore, pre-Islamic, not Koranic and ipso facto un-Muslim.

 

“If Muslim women are banned from covering their faces in Mecca, and cannot perform their daily prayers by hiding their identity, then why is it a requirement to do so on the streets of Britain?

 

So, who exactly makes them wear these outfits ?

Their Jealous men who don't want other men looking at their women

Or could it be the women themselves choose to wear them?

Who are we to say what a women can and cannot wear?

And what % of the islamic faith in the UK actually wear full coverings?

From what i understand, it depends on the family and pressure from the people they associate with. Women can be expected to wear the Burka by their families and husbands. The husband will often be the person who decides whether the face is covered up or not, based on which men are present. They might be expected to wear the Burka with face covered in a public place or where there are unmarried men present.
