" We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Ban the Burkha in public places " The main issue that we should be concerned about with the Burkha is the complete lack of indentity, not only does this act as a barrier to integration it also posses a security threat. These people cannot be identified by the police,by shop keepers or by the general public at a first glance. for instance if you saw an incident where a Burkha wearer committed an offense you will have no way of identifying that person. The truth of the matter is that it would not be tolerated for myself to walk into a supermarket with a mask covering my identity, as quite rightly I should be able to be identified at all times, especially inthe current climate. What would happen if everyone wore a burkha? there would be no need for cctv, driver licenses, passports.The burkha needs to be banned in public places so that everyone can be identified and interact as a community. People can wear whatever they want in the privacy of their own homes but we should impose a law to state that peoples faces should be identified at all times. This is also not anattack on muslims it should apply to all people regardless or religion, it just so happens that the covering of one's identity is a trend found mostly in islam. http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/Ban-the-Burkha/ |

France are doing the right thing and the UK should follow. It is totally wrong and unacceptable for women to wear these in public places. If they don't like it, well tough, either stay indoors or move to a country that allows it! |

WE NEED A PROPER DEBATE ON BANNING BURKHAS IN BRITAIN http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/152664/We-need-a-proper-debate-on-banning-burkhas-in-Britain By Kevin Toolis YOU are walking down the street and suddenly it’s hard to believe you are still in Britain and not Saudi Arabia. A woman in a burkha. All you can see are the eyes peeking out from behind a black sheet wrapped round the rest of her body. And however well trained you are in the ways of multi-cultural Britain it’s hard not to stare at this medieval-style wraith on the modern shopping streets of Britain. And to be shocked. How is it possible in a democracy that another human being is forced, or even willingly, covers their face in public because of their religion? So all that we can see of them is two eyes blinking out from behind the screen across their face. Instinctively you wonder who is this mysterious human being? What is the rest of her life like? Is this woman cowed into submission by her husband? What kind of religion treats women in this way? And what kind of man only allows his wife to go outside if she is wearing a tent? Nigel Farage, former leader of UKIP, has explosively called for a total ban. “It’s a symbol of something that is used to oppress women. It is a symbol of an increasingly divided Britain.” Farage is not alone. In France President nicolas Sarkozy has stridently reiterated his view that the burkha is “not welcome” in European society. And at the end of the month the French parliament will meet to consider introducing legislation to ban the burkha. At the heart of the matter is a key democratic principle: just how far do we tolerate the intolerance of others? We would quite rightly all feel very uncomfortable to turn up at our children’s’ school and be confronted by a schoolteacher wearing the niqab. Or teaching gym class in a burkha. Shockingly my partner was once forced to endure a medical appointment in a major london teaching hospital by a female medical professional who was entirely covered from head to toe not in surgical gowns but a burkha. It was intolerable. An absolute abuse. According to the Islamic fanatics who justify the burkha or niqab – both garments are designed to protect the wearer’s “modesty”. It is part of our culture, they argue, to protect our women from the gaze of strange men. A woman’s beauty, her face, should be preserved only for her husband and hence that is why a women can only appear in public with her face covered. The burkha is just another little cultural trait of “multi-cultural” Britain we are all going to have to get used to. Oddly for a man, I have worn a burkha and can testify from personal experience just exactly how horrible, oppressive and uncomfortable it is to don one. I was reporting on Afghanistan and dressing in a burkha was the only way to smuggle ourselves past Pakistani army checkpoints. Wearing a burkha is like being blindfolded and wrapped up in a heavy overcoat on the hottest summer day. I remember the cloying heat of my own breath trapped inside this horrible veil and the shackle-like mini steps you had to take to avoid falling over. A burkha is not just a symbol of oppression. Wearing it is an act of oppression. Predictably nigel Farage was immediately denounced as being “un-British” by the far-left respect Party – whose stated aims are peace, justice and equality. “As long as they are not imposing it on anybody else why should they not have the right to wear it?” said the hijab-wearing respect Party leader Salma Yaqoob. It's hard to know if you should laugh or cry. Supporting the right to wear the burkha is like supporting the right to slavery. And it is a mark of how cowed we have become that only fringe parties such as UKIP are prepared to publicly debate on such a contentious issue. Democracy, even our soft, indifferent but touching British sense of democracy, is not just about live and let live. Demo cracy is also about ideals like the equality of women and men. It is about standing up for some thing we believe in and drawing a limit on the intolerable. There is nothing wrong with making it clear that in this country if you want to enter a council office, or enter a school, or any public building then you must show your face as any other citizen would. Let us remember proudly that Britain unlike Saudi Arabia is a democracy and the rules of medieval theocracy do not apply in our country. |

anyone could try and hide their identify by wearing one, they might not even be female. I live in Leicester where the situation is pretty extreme, and i've regularly seen women on a baking hot day completely covered to the point where they're wearing black gloves aswel. its ridiculous |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEo007enYus debate on question time about burqa. Your politicians are very ignorant... They don't realize for radical Muslims, Britain is an ennemy after : - it colonized Palestinia - it created Israel (and you know how much they hate Jews...) - it went in Afghanistan (it's a defence after 9/11 but yet, they consider it's an attack) - it went in Irak... Thus, Britain became "dar al harb", house of war. Radical Muslims have no intention to "live peacefully with their neighbours"... They are in state of war, willing to apply what the Quoran ask them to do towards their ennemies. And Britain, for them, is an ennemy. For them, Britain has to : - submit to sharia law (remember, this video, from mp Malik ===> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lWABGwFJn0 ) - if there will be resistance, "slay the unfaithful" - the few survivers will have to expatriate and leave their country if they refuse sharia law, conversion or being killed. That's what happened to my father's ethnie. This is not a joke. Forgiveness is a Christian and Humanist value. A radical Muslim only forgives to another Muslims. Muslims will forgive Britain the day it will become an islamic country : "dar al islam" - "house of submission". Jesus... I really hope there won't be more Muslims in your country. If they start to be up to 20%, then, prepare yourself. |

Subject: Al Quedea Union Troubles - Virgin bonuses limited Living in the UK has its affect on even the most dedicated workers! 14 December 2009, 5:22 PM Press Release: Union Negotiations Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-day strike on Monday in a dispute over the number of virgins they are entitled to in the afterlife. Emergency talks with Al Qaeda management have so far failed to produce an agreement. The unrest began last Tuesday when Al Qaeda announced that the number of virgins a suicide bomber would receive after his death will be cut by 25% next January from 72 to only 60. The rationale for the cut was the increase in recent years of the number of suicide bombings and a subsequent shortage of virgins in the afterlife. The suicide bombers' union, the British Organization of Occupational Martyrs (or B.O.O.M.) responded with a statement that this was unacceptable to its members and immediately balloted for strike action. General secretary Abdullah Amir told the press, "Our members are literally working themselves to death in the cause of Jihad. We don't ask for much in return but to be treated like this by management is a kick in the teeth." Mr. Amir accepted the limited availability of virgins but pointed out that the cutbacks were expected to be borne entirely by the workforce and not by management. "Last Christmas Abu Hamza alone was awarded an annual bonus of 250,000 virgins," complains Amir. "And you can be sure they'll all be pretty ones too. How can Al Qaeda afford that for members of the management but not 72 for the people who do the real work?" Speaking from the shed in the West Midlands where he currently resides, Al Qaeda chief executive Osama bin Laden explained, "We sympathize with our workers' concerns but Al Qaeda is simply not in a position to meet their demands. They are simply not accepting the realities of modern-day jihad, in a competitive marketplace.Thanks to Western depravity, there is a shortage of virgins. |
