France's burka ban

Well done the French for having the guts to introduce the 'burka ban', but it seems with a little trepidation.

/// Earlier, French police said they will be enforcing the country’s new burka ban "extremely cautiously" because of fears of provoking violence. ///

Belgium introduced a full ban last year, and a ban also looks likely in Holland, Spain and Switzerland.

Could Britain ever have the guts to do likewise?

/// Just out if interest AOG, what is the reason you want it banned? ///

Since you have asked, and because it seems you can't work it out for yourselves, I will answer.

I personally find the wearing of the Burka on British streets offensive, simply because I do not wish to see this country taken over by Islam along with all the trappings that goes with this religion.

Just as I would have also voted against turning this country into a multi racial/ multi cultural country, if we had been given the choice in a referendum.

Anyone including our politicians now know that this experiment has not worked, but getting them to acknowledge the fact is quite a different matter.

>>>>>That is exactly what the French did.........................then banned the burka by democratic parliamentary vote. <<<<<< Since when has a select few represented the view of the whole population, a vote in any parliament is not representative of the country as probably over half the populous did not vote for the fools making the decision's.

As for you not thinking AOG is a SH*T stirrer, that is your opinion which you may voice as we live in a free country which allows for multiple views and opinions!!!

I'm not pro-muslim at all AOG. I was actually born a muslim but turned from that faith many many years ago.

And I'm not anti-black either. I just don't like that form of trouser wearing.

Don't twist my words round.

AOG how do you get to it being anti-black of tiggerblue for not liking people with their trousers half way down their back sides, it is seen just as much on white teenagers as it is on any other part of society.

You love to throw half hearted comments around without even thinking about the whole argument, even when it was yourself that started the thread!!

/// AOG is stuck firmly in the past and a good argument would probably kill him off!!! He justs likes to start these threads and then see what happens while sat on the sidelines.///

Sat on the sidelines eh? It is obvious you don't read the threads, I may be many things to some, but a person sitting quietly on the sidelines is not one.

/// learning about both sides of the argument from both sides and listening to each other would be much more benificial. ///

I quite agree, it's a pity you don't practice what you preach.

You are a very ignorant and insulting person typical of type who cannot just debate a subject reasonably, without using expletives, typical of a certain class of person.

I wonder why the ED hasn't chastised you?

[jackthehat]

Perhaps the Ed has yet to see anything with which he disagrees ?

[jackthehat]

No more than he'd expect from 'our' classes of person.................:o)

I see the usual gang has started with the insults.

Discussions can get passionate but users should moderate their language and refrain from personal attacks and profanity. We encourage lively debate but name calling, harassment or abuse will not be tolerated.

I apologise tigger, I have the same done to me so many, many times, that perhaps it has now become a habit of mine also.

[jackthehat]

Awwwww..........it's sooooo sweet..........

D'you reckon it's thought-transference or a ultra-sonic dog-whistle ?

[ummmm]
