Muslim sues school for asking her not to wear burka on premises

Off topic but my dad fainted in fear as a kid after seeing a woman in a burqa for the first time

An old family friend used to grab onto keys and make the sign of the cross whenever somebody in a burka walked past

We will see what transpires. Maybe this will be thrown out of court, I doubt it, but maybe. That would be the system working.

But assuming it does come to court it is a monumental waste of everyone's time. The lawyers will be paid, handsomely, and we will all pay as taxpayers. Because you can bet your life Niqab Nora won't spend a penny on this herself.

As for having a justice system accessible to all are you for real? It is a system for the rich and people like her, who will have her legal fees paid for by somebody or other, either in legal aid, or by a leftie and or Islamist group for political reasons. The average person in this country can't afford justice.

The article in the Guardian (link) seems to be full of a surprising amount of padding, even by the 'muh emotions' standards of that newspaper. Lots of junk about how the mother went to that school and how well her daughter performed in Year 6, which add nothing of interest to the core debate.

We also have the right to express ourselves. So for you and I, that means we have the right to dance like an idiot in the middle of the street.

That is likely to get you arrested for a public order offence

This woman is a vexatious litigant, what a waste of the court's time. If she wins her lawyer will be enriched as will she, and the public purse impoverished. To what good end?

The more incidents there are like this, the more the division grows between non Muslims and non non Muslims.

Many will feel If she is so unhappy with this, why doesn't she go and live in a country where she would be forced to wear a burka anyway? Like Afghanistan?

Did they do the same to some working class bloke in a donkey jacket and a balaclava?

This is pretty dramatic. She was "shaken" and "broke down" and left feeling like she "didn't belong"? It's not that deep. You could just wear a detachable niqab and put it back on once you leave the school premises. Rules are rules. People don't complain about not being allowed to park around school gates.

I mean, why not let women wear what they want?

Because it's unhealthy. She will probably have osteoporosis by the time she is 40, because of lack of D vitamin, because of lack of exposition to sunlight, and you will pay for it because you pay for the public medical care.

For the same reason are forced to use their seatbelts. There is no other reason for forbiding them to have serious body damage or suicide, but the cost of public medical service, and the money the state has invested in public education and wants that person to pay this back before it dies.

Also, recent research shows that lack of D vitamin increases the risk of infections, as well the lack of expostion to sunlight is bad for mental health of people.

OK, so why not ban fizzy drinks, cigarettes and chocolate bars. They are unhealthy as well!

Because half of a price, or more, of the first two is already made of taxes that pay more money to the budget, than these unhealthy products do damage to it. While chocolate is beneficial to mental health, as it helps to fight depression, but I agree that sweets should be extra taxed, the same way as cigarretes are.
Besides, nor the British law or culture forces anyone to drink or smoke all the time, while the sharia forces them to wear those scary, fully covering things all the time when there is only a slight chance that a man can see them.

Moreover I'm not exactly serious about this. Let's say, it's just a factor we should think about.

But there are other reasons, that already have been mentioned in this thread, for which I think there should be some limitations on burkas and niqabs. Another reason I might add, that British culture must give a stand to the most arrogant of the foreign culture, if Britain is to stay just quite British at the end of this century.

I don't understand how Muslim women are not seem to be proud of Britain as much as others are, I mean I am very proud of Britain and its culture!
