Fred, //A news item of no interest to anybody except Muslims, and Saudi Muslims at that.//
I disagree. This isn’t new. I’ve seen young children veiled – some of them babies in prams.
//Put it in British terms.//
Impossible. It’s a mistake to assume that Saudi Muslims (and others from elsewhere but now living in this country) share a common mindset with British Christians. They don’t. Have you ever looked at the Islamic questions and answers websites? There you will find people asking clerics for advice on the most mundane aspects of everyday life. Never forget, Islam even dictates the correct procedures when going to the toilet! To many, if a cleric says it, it must be right - and that is why people like this backward lunatic are dangerous.

Stupid man, the fault lies with the males. They should wear chasity belts of some sort so they cannot rape! Poor little kids. I have a friend and she doesn't wear all that nonsense although she's a muslim, neither do her daughters. She does the fasting at Ramadam and the girls will only do that once they start puberty, but she says the wearing of veils is a personal choice and nothing do do with the law or religion!

To my western eyes the sight of a person (woman?) clad in a burkha is totally alien, as is young women wearing head scarves. My sense of repugnance is probably matched by those of the islamic faith who are similarly shocked to see White and Afro-Caribbean women wearing micro skirts exposing their thongs together with open tops exposing breasts. It's a funny old world.
Fred, since we live in a multi-cultural society, it’s imperative that practices which should be deemed unacceptable to any civilised society – for example forced marriage, female circumcision, honour killings, or the marriage of little girls to grown men – are publicised. All of that is happening right now in this country – and without publicity, such appalling abuse would continue completely unopposed.

Wow you are inciting scorn from the majority of female ABers here.
What would you say if someone said men do not seem masculine 'these days', they go out looking like gays?
You are always telling me that times are changing, wasn't it the Victorians who covered the legs of tables up?

Difficult to spot a *** sometimes, Mick. When I was a student in London, I was walking near the Hilton Hotel when an elegant, well-spoken, woman, about 30, wearing a hat and a couture suit, possibly Chanel, said to me quietly, as she passed "Would you like to come home with me?". I was so surprised by this eccentric enquiry from some apparently unstable woman that I replied "No, thanks". I was so innocent that it never dawned on me what she meant ( and so I've been going back every year since!)
