Question Author
sp1814 First you answer my post 14:13 on Thu 05/Aug/10) and then you say I've just reread your post, 14:15 on Thu 05/Aug/10)
What difference did you find when you re-read it, enough to come out with your later out-burst?
Yes I am seriously saying "he objected to the Burka".
Seriously objected enough to forcibly remove her niqab I do not condone his later action, but I would support his objections.
But how this can be classed as a racial assault since Islam isn't a race, and the very fact that he received a 2 year jail sentence is a disgrace in itself. Knocking off a rastafarian's head gear would not get the same sentence.
If a white person came behind you as a black person and ripped off your top coat, that could loosely be described as a racist attack, but once again would not carry a custodial sentence.
Don't ask, what if the person was black and ripped off a white person's top coat?
