Ban

[Purple Rabbit]

Ok. What about burkas?

The day this country starts banning items of clothing is the day I leave.

Immigration Minister Damian Green made quite a stupid gaff when talking about this subject though. He said that banning the burka would be "un-British", and that we weren't an aggressively secular nation like France.

Evidently Mr Green needs to read up on the definition of "secular", since by not banning the burka, the state is not interfering with the Muslim religion...quite a secular thing to do. What France has done is quite the opposite of secularism; the same goes for Belgium banning minarets.

A bit too easy I'd say. In islam young children are forced into thinking that it is unclean not to cover their female bodies. Should we not protect children from these rather unsecular ideas. Peer pressure on schools also adds to the problem. You need to read up too on this. You can start with Infidel and Nomad by Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
