France is taking the steps towards banning the Burkha and the British Immigration Minister says that Parliament won't be banning the wearing of the Burkha in public - defining Britain as a "broad minded society".
So then - on what basis do they ban the wearing of hoodies by the youth of Britain? And the wearing of motorcycle crash helmets in shops and places away from the motorcycle.
How, does the government reconcile their policy against terrorism with allowing muslim women to fully cover their faces (and frequently their whole bodies) in featureless black cloths?
I know and work with many from the Asian community. I don't force my Christian views on them and they don't force their religious views on me. Relion is not part of the workplace, but now the government is making it clear that it does have a place there as muslims will now be completely free to turn up at work fully covered.
Putting a totally different slant on the government's statement - if being British means that we are a "broad minded society" and "more tollerant" then how come there is intollerance of the BNP and speeding? Seems to me this government has opened mouth and spoken before engaging brain and thinking things through.
