Nope, there wasn't a single comedy image, copy/paste job, name calling or assumptions but it's ok.I realise you weren't ranting, just expressing your own opinions over my post and opinion because you're happy that an MP wrote a deliberately inflammatory article because it was only written for people who feel the same way about what someone else wears, oh and he's a Tory so he was probably just being Boris Johnson the buffoon. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Yep.   Boris is like Oswald Mosley.Mosley was a Tory, an Independent, and in Labour.Then he led the British Union of Fascists.Politics doesn't matter to people like Boris,there's no principals or desire to work to a greater good,politics, whatever flavour is just a means to an end, and that end is power.

That's surprising? The dress code must cover the faces of females in public with a slit for the eyes
Usually that is the two part, i.e. abaya and niqab. It leaves a slit for the eyes.
That for is for the shopping mall, hotels etc.

If you are non Saudi, then you are allowed to moderate that with say a head scarf. Indonesian nannys for instance would not normally wear a full face covering. The religious police (Matawas) enforce his by the way, so if a lady Is not dressed to their standards they can be caned in public.

My dentist was a Palastian lady and she did not ware a veil, but the girls on
the reception desk were Saudis and they faces were fully covered.

Not going to lie, I'd love to wear a full face burqua.No need to shave, to do my hair, to iron my clothes, hell, to even wear clothes.I think I'd find it very liberating to go through my day unconcerned by my appearance.

Many people, including myself do not like full face veil being worn by British Muslims in this country. I have absolutely no problem with Saudi women or other visitors who would feel uncomfortable if they were not dressed in the same way as they do at home. If I see them on the streets in London I just accept them as tourists and good luck to them.

The term Islamophobia is a silly term in my opinion and dreamed up by BBC types as an irrational fear. Like heights, spiders etc.
In most cases it is not irrational, or a fear.

Wearing a burka is a mechanism to show that the wearer is separate from wider society; it really shouldn't come as much of a surprise if the rest of society ends up treating them differently.

All these people make a choice and then have to deal with any of the consequences that might come from that choice.

Those consequences being what exactly?

Goths = Righteous and incessant mockery.

Try telling that to the family of Sophie Lancaster.

After making my way to my annual liver killing pilgrimage at Rebellion the good times are tempered somewhat when you hear the stories of abuse some suffer because they dress differently to the majority.

Condoning that abuse is never acceptable
