I also agree about demanding to wear clothes/masks in a country where it has not been normal to do this.
When I still lived in Wales ... a schoolgirl, backed by her parents, refused to follow the school dress code for gym lessons ......... I think the school is right and we shouldn't change to accommodate people who come here from other countries. |

I think you need to think about it? We were told that these Pakistani paedophile gangs were a right wing daily mail fabrication.

Daily Mail link in. The OP suggests that if not a total falsification a good chance the whole truth has not been told. Who really throws someone off a bus just for singing a song to their kid? 'She went up to the bus driver and told him we were being racist towards her and she wasn’t happy. The driver came up to me and said we had to get off the bus or the police would have to come. 'He said: 'just get off the bus - it’s not worth the hassle’. I was really shocked because we had done nothing wrong but he didn't listen to us. 'He just said: "Go now, otherwise you’ll hold up all the passengers and no-one will be happy."' I would guess that most of the passengers were asian. 'I’m annoyed he didn't listen to our side of the story or ask any questions.' If there were lots of asians on the bus, the driver may have been called 'racist' for not asking them to leave. And the loony left could have him sacked for it. |

If Peppa Pig wore a hijab or chador or whatever they're called would this be ok?
Are pigs bad and should be exterminated? I like pigs, actually - what have they ever done wrong? And dogs are not allowed, apparently. |

Every single incident of this kind just brings the day when Britain is ruled by Sharia a bit closer.
It is part of a long-term plan - the taking over of schools and the hounding of those who object, the gang-rape of children supported by the conniving silence of those who should be protecting them, the frantic breeding program, all of it. You have to realise that they want to take over our countries - the fear of speaking out lest one be branded racist is a vital means to that end. They are having our trousers down, and people are just accepting it. It should be stopped now by any means necessary because otherwise when the resistance to the Islamification of Great Britain finally wakes up, it will be too late. |

It would be a good education for anyone to read the Koran, and know exactly what it commands the dutiful Muslim do to those who do not share the faith.
While we perceive the behaviour of ISIS or whatever they're calling them today to be barbaric and monstrous, they are doing their duty - the forced conversion under pain of death is explicitly demanded of them in the Koran. And sadly, such people can not be reasoned with - the Koran is the word of Allah, and thus inviolable. Unfortunately, most people do not realise the scale and ambition of the enemy we face in Iraq and Syria, and indeed in our own cities. Islam will not stop until it has converted or killed us all. |

... and when did you read the Koran ?

By:
-- Deuteronomy, Chapter 17:2-3,5
If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant, And hath gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; ... Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die. |

I have been reading the Koran since I was about 20. It is a marvellous work, mystical and magical. Sadly, there are a number of passages like the quote of yours from Deuteronomy, which preach death to unbelievers.
I'm sure that you not unaware that your quoted passage is irrelevant to any debate about this subject, since it is only in Islam and perhaps certain branches of Haredi Judaism that the text of holy works is now taken literally in this regard. Christian society long ago stopped using passages from ancient texts as justification for murder, pillage, the emasculation of women and various other forms of subjugation which are still regarded as acceptable in Islam. This moving away from literal translation and accordance with scripture is a big part of what we like to call Englightenment. There can be no enlightenment under Islam, as its practitioners have proven since the first Hadiths were committed to text. You may choose to ignore this fact - that is your perfect right after all - but it does not make it any less of a fact. Anywhere there is established Islam, civil society is degraded, liberties are scaled back, minorities are oppressed, progressive science is abjured and human beings are held in thrall. |

Winston Churchill sums it up best, for me. This from a man who defeated the evil of Nazism, on Islam:
"There exists no greater retrograde force in the world" |

Funny, because I don't believe we should 'ban the burqa' like you espoused above, as one, I believe in freedom of religion and religious expression, and two, I regard it as hideously un-British to tell people what they should or should not wear, regardless of the specious reasons people use to justify the covering or veiling of women.
FWIW, I regard all religions with equal contempt. |

Freedom of religion should not be sancrosanct, otherwise it becomes a false idol.
Religious ideas are not equal, some are better than others and there sbould not be the assumption that each and any religion should be allowed. |
