What's the question?

[emmie]

both should have been stopped from entering the bank.
i know that isn't going to be popular but there you are.
they proved their point.

[ToraToraTora]

get real AOG, everyone knows the world must bend over backwards for Islam.

A helmet is defence.. implying some is needed.. a burqua isn't... implying some isn't...

[naomi24]

Haha! Superb!!!

[Spungle]

I think many folks just think it's not worth the hassle asking someone to remove their burkha. Many of us are becoming resigned to the fact that Islamists can do what they like, and it's not worth doing anything to stop them because of the likely backlash.

[spathiphyllum]

It's kind of illegal to force someone to take off their clothes when going into a building.. .A helmet though, i mean that's like taking a hat off.

[ichkeria]

As emmie said. The obligation on either to remove their head cover tho is probably daft: if someone is going to rob a bank they are going to cover their head and do their worst no matter the “rules”. A fact emphasised by what happened, which was plainly silly.

[naomi24]

spath, no one should be asking anyone to remove their clothes - but they should be asking everyone to reveal their faces. Fat lot of good CCTV!!

[Spungle]

Sorry, Spath, just repeat that- it's illegal to ask someone to show their face when entering a bank? Since when?

[spathiphyllum]

" it's illegal to ask someone to show their face when entering a bank? "

That is not what i said, at all in fact.

[SparklyKid]

Spath. Why do you think it is right for one person to be asked to reveal their face and the other doesn't.

[Spungle]

So what's your point, Spath?

[spathiphyllum]

"A helmet is defence.. implying some is needed.. a burqua isn't... implying some isn't... "

A burqua is a garment, a helmet is not. You seem thick for not understanding the differences.

"It's kind of illegal to force someone to take off their clothes when going into a building.. .A helmet though, i mean that's like taking a hat off."

[Spungle]

It's kinda illegal to tell someone to "uncover their face"?

[spathiphyllum]

my point is, even though they're only going for the face covered angle, there is much more to the burqa than that, and to only take that away from it is ignorance.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Women walking about in dust-bin bags is:

(a) disgusting for obviously feminist reasons;

(b) socially divisive in societies where face to face communication is an indicator of trust;

(c)comedic (not that I think any of our "edgy" and brave comedians will take five minutes off from insulting Trump to sneer at (or sympathise with) these Muslim Daleks.

[spathiphyllum]

Spungle do you know what quote marks are? like ?? what?

[SparklyKid]

Absolute lunacy. Calling people thick Spath is downright rude.

[-Talbot-]

Spath is right, he didn't say that... He said 'kind of illegal'

Which of course makes perfect sense.
