New Judge - //The face veil is a manifestation of Islam and is part of that religion’s subjugation of women. Its stated aim is to prevent sexual impropriety. So the question that needs to be asked is why are not men subject to similar constrictions?
Mr Nuttall does not go far enough: the entire religion, with all its ridiculous foibles, beliefs, constraints and downright subjugation and discrimination, has no place in Europe. //
I would be the first to agree that other cultures are very different from outs, and the way they operate does seem wrong to our Western eyes.
But what we should remember is that just because we see them as wrong, does not mean that other cultures share our views and values, or should have our views and values forced upon them against their will.
Rarely a day goes by on this section without someone whinging on about the 'Islamification of the West' and the abhorrent notion that Islam is trying to force its culture and way of life on us.
If it is abhorrent that they supposedly try and force us to live the way they do, why is it not equally abhorrent when we want to do the same to them?
