West Midlands Police Considers Allowing The Burka

"our side" is what, exactly? My side is the right to wear whatever the **** you want and believe in anything you ****ing want. That's what this country has stood for, for many years now. Don't like it? Sod off out then.

correct

e.g. police officers should be allowed to wander around in the nude while on duty, provided they wear adequate identification

the only problem is : where would they pin their badges ?

Not the faintest clue why people compare modest dress, normal clothing, and overly-modest religious dress to nudity. Where even is the comparison? It's nowhere.

the right to wear whatever the **** you want

well, you are for absolute freedom, and defending
so, is wearing just a pair of earrings OK ?

and please, define what constitutes "normal clothing"

Uh, yes they do, pal. And Muslim terrorism does not equals Muslim. It equals muslim terrorism. By you saying that, you're more or less condemning them either way - they're damned if they do and damned if they don't. You are the problem.

I am not in favour of absolute freedom at all. How does defending the right to wear what you want providing it doesn't cause rational offence or harm, suddenly mean I'm pro-everything? There are limits. It depends on the law and each individual what they see as the limits, however. And I respect that but I don't have to agree with people who have a different opinion on those limits.

In my opinion, no.

Normal clothing - just day-to-day standard attire for the majority, you know, like shirts/t-shirts/skirts/trousers/joggers/shorts/whatever.

the right to wear whatever the **** you want

This is literally the most draining debate - it's like talking to a brick wall

So being a muslim instantly means = terrorism? Right, grow the **** up and get some basic education. That's not how it works. If anybody's to blame for the rise of Islamic extremist terrorism, it's the West, and our actions in the Middle East.

Surely the blame for Islamic terrorism lies on Islam?

Surely the blame for Islamic terrorism lies on Islam? Without Islam, there would be no Islamic terrorism.

so, it's not the terrorists who are to blame, it's the "West". Understood.

yes, do enjoy the sunshine.

"blame for the RISE of Islamic EXTREMIST TERRORISM".

My best friend is a practising muslim... so is his family... I have never been accepted with more love and respect in my life other than by my boyfriend's family.

It wasn't muslims refusing to stand in solidarity with the Orlando LGBT community after the attacks - it was far-right extremists and Christian pastors.

He is like a Jew defending Nazis.

No. Not entirely. It's about the fact it's terrorism. Not Islamic. the IRA and many other organisations caused much higher rates of devastation in the world than any Islamic group to date. But nobody ever whinges about the religion, skin colour, or origin of those groups and they pleasantly forget the statistics.

understood

we Westerners are to blame only for the "RISE of Islamic EXTREMIST TERRORISM", while Islam is to blame for its "normal" level and qualities

thanks for the specification

There were Christian pastors that so good in solidarity with the he victims and there were others that weren't. There were Muslims who stood in solidarity with the victims and also some Muslims who did not. So I don't see why you're trying to suggest that Muslims somehow cared more than Chrsitians about the Islamic terror attack in Orlando.

You are actually thick, like, it's not even funny how poor your literary comprehension is..

Christian Churches did not come out and openly support the victims whereas the leading Imam of the local Muslim community in Orlando made a speech and offered support to the whole LGBT community. They took steps to SHOW their support, and to SHOW that the one guy, who was US born and bred by the way, does not represent the genuine Muslim community. That was so incredibly important and yes of course, some supported, some didn't, but it was Christian pastors and and organisations that harmed the community, that abused the victims. Pastors saying "Orlando is safer because a few paedophiles have been killed by the Lord and it's just a shame he didn't finish the job", and Churches picketing the funerals of victims.

I'm not suggesting they did more, I'm suggesting, because it's how it was, that the local Islamic community actually stood up and shouted their support and made it known. The Christian community did not.
