poor timing (or good depending on your view)

But once again a Muslim ****ing it up for their fellow Muslims who will still try and blame everyone else for their ills
To be honest, the news bringing something like this up was inevitable after the Niqab debate, because the latter revolves around the Niqab being a threat to national security, and since there were no instances of it having been a threat in any way, it was astutely realised that such an instance must be created if the Niqab ban were to have any support. And there you have it, very nicely done.

Yes, and why not? Everybody out there is already blaming my fellow Muslim. Should I take their side against his and pitch in?
If the news was anything to be relied on, I wouldn't take this stance.
The Quran wisely tells us to verify news before we accept it lest we harm somebody wrongly: http://quran.com/49/6
Should be banned. I dont know why more wantet criminals dont use them. Even peados could use them to get close to children.
Hold on. So the Mosque assisted him with handing him a Hijab to escape in? i am not surprised. Religion has a 'us over them' mentality. It only teaches you to either convert, subjugate or preach to others so they become like you, yet speaks nothing about condoning the ills/issues caused by followers of your own faith.

Religion = Totalitarianism

So what you're saying is, people have raised security concerns in the past and now you don't like it because those concerns have been proven correct, right?

If you think our timid politicians will actually act on this then you're even dafter than your post suggests.

You should blame the person who does the wrong in the first place

not blame everyone else

So you blame everyone else before blaming the Muslim because of something the Quran says

I don't think that is correct

I'm not laying any blame on anybody, much less 'everybody'. All I'm doing is being skeptical, and with good reason, considering the history of the media with Islam.
Also, I find it very queer that an instance so much like the one the part of the British public that's pro banning the Niqab was pining after sprung up so soon. One would think the authorities who arranged for such a thing to happen would have been a bit more discreet, but alas.

So in this quote from you 'who' are the people who created this?

AS I said your a Muslim so you will blame anyone and everyone other than your fellow Muslim

once a victim always the victim:rolleyes:

Do tell me where it says that :rolleyes:

Some Mosques have a womans area like the An-Noor Masjid mentioned in the article does, usually there are always spare clothing their for use, e.g. headscarf and other clothing for temporary use you know if a woman requires it. Not to mention that some have shops within them and sell books, clothing etc.


Also why should anyone who's Muslim apologise for the actions of others? It makes no sense, that I apologise for someone else's wrongs just because we share the same faith.
I guess that means white people should apologise for colonialism, etc right? :rolleyes:

What I don't understand is why the Judge imposed anonymity in this case, can anyone clear this up for me? Why shouldn't we know who the police are looking for and could potentially pose a threat to us? To be fair to May :heart: she go to court to get it lifted

What a coward. Another reason why it should be banned.

I've witnessed a robbery on a jewellery store by 5 men dressed in Burkas who were all later arrested.

What? For this reason? I'm sure more terror suspects have escaped in cars. Let's ban cars too? :confused:

Partly, but mainly because they just look damn scary. They make people look like grim reapers :s-smilie:
