Why were there no arrests made, over this incident? And why was this not given wide TV coverage? Is it not time Burkas were banned once and for all?

I've got a couple of ideas.
Firstly, I strongly suggest that people think long and hard about how immediate and real the threat of terrorism is. I suggest it's massively overblown. For a bit of food for thought, watch the award-winning series of documentary films The Power of Nightmares. Remember, it's in the interests of both politicians and the media to over-(not under-)state the level of terror we face.
Secondly, have a go at chilling out a bit. I've lived in London for about 10 years and there have only been two times that I've felt unsafe - although this is subjective.
In second place comes 7/7 when our tubes and buses were bombed. In first place was April 1999, when for three weeks, a white man let his hatred and fear of minorities consume him to the extent that he launched a series of nail bomb attacks across London. Let's not follow his lead eh?

NJOK - nothing to do with the fact that some Muslims want to blow us to kingdom come then? And please don't go on about the "moderate Muslims" - who are so always absent in their comdemnation. Whose side do you think they would take if push came to shove, ours or the extemists?
A fairly rhetorical question in my opinion...
Now shove off if you dont want to discuss it further and dont type 2 posts in a row like some desperate thug eager for a fight.

In my opinion, after reading a lot of your earlier rubbish posts, I have reasonably concluded that you are infact a racist and will never change.
I dont care if you are not happy, it is not my duty to make sure my posts cheer you up for Gods sake, now think before you type up any more infantile rants, in future.

Most respected scholars of Islamism agree that Al-Qaeda doesn't have a network of 'cells'. It has no organisational structure and no hierarchy. Islamists radical approach Bin Laden on an ad hoc basis and ask him for money.
It was only 'given' a structure by the US authorities because, in order to prosecute Bin Laden using laws created to bring down the mafia, they needed to paint him as the head of an organised body with a prosecutable chain of command between him and the US embassy bombers.
Sorry but this axis of evil reminds me of when the US government tried to suggest that most terrorist organisations - from the IRA to the PLO - were part of a Soviet terror network, because the defence secretary had read about it in a book.
When he asked the CIA to prepare a dossier on the subject, they told him they couldn't. Because it was utterly false.
When he pointed to the evidence in the book he'd read, they told him that they knew it to be untrue, because they were the ones who had made it up. After he'd ask them to.
Ah, the wheels of government.
