Simesb-----------Refresh my memory but who is causing the current spate of bombings. Religion has been a problem since the Holy Wars and now it has spread to the rest of the world and it seems to be one particular religion causing all the contention I have no problem with people who follow their belief until it starts to erode into mine or our accepted way of life. I object to people knocking on my door and pushing their brand of religion but that is a far cry from planting bombs on buses,trains,planes and public buildings.
I have deviated from the OP somewhat but I feel that people with views similar to myself are antagonized by the readiness of support by wearing the garb, for people who promote these acts in the name of their god by fundamentalism. You would only wear a mask/face covering if you had something to hide or for protection |

Bah, back in the 70s 80s and 90s I didn't hear of any war on Catholicism. The IRA pretended to be Catholic just same as those dippy buggers think they are muslims.

The IRA wanted a united Ireland and they were contested by people who wanted to remain British,same as the Falklands or Gibraltar.

Yeah just like all this current bout of terrorism bollox comes back to Islamic extremists getting the hump with the USA and the rest of us evil westerners for our support for Isreal in their oppression of Palestine.
Territorial conflict with a religious overtone. Just the same.

Like I said in my earlier post, if the law is with all facial coverings in a public place (burka, balaclava, etc) being banned due to minimise criminal activity then fine. If it's specific to the burka then that is an issue imo. People leave their countries because they want a better life. A better life is where they are free to practise their own faith and live in peace, whilst respecting the traditions of that country. Walking round London with a burka isn't disrespecting this countries values. Walking round Saudi in a bikini would be. Also comparing this country to 'oh what would the Saudis do if we went over there and....". Well why compare to a country like that which does much worse. We should always strive for the highest standards in freedom of speech and practise - provided it does not affect others. I'm personally not a fan of the burka, and find it to be incompatible within most social settings. Still though, the fact that some women go for the ninja look really I couldn't care less about, and its up to them. Is there an opposite to indecent exposure?! No so what's the beef.
