Britons Say: 'Ban the Burka!'

Who would have believed it, the majority of British people, for so long having been the thankful beneficiaries of multicultural enrichment, want the niqab, the burka & any other kind of head-bag prohibited in public places? Astonishing. But the facts speak for themselves, as they are reported by The Telegraph on Thursday (hat-tip to Julius Mandrake @juliusmandrake):

Most Britons want full face veils banned in all public places The majority of British people want to see a ban on full face veils and niqabs being worn outside the privacy of the home, a recent survey shows The majority of Britons want to see a ban on full face veils in all public places, similar to the laws in France which have sparked violent protests. A total of 55 per cent of those questioned said they would support rules similar to those introduced by President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2011, because full face veils made them feel uneasy and unsure how to relate to the wearer, according to a recent study. More than a third of people would like to see the wearing of all forms of head scarf outlawed outside the privacy of the home. In France the ban, which carries a 150-euro (£133, $217) for anyone caught wearing the veil in public, has lead to a series of arrests and rioting despite widespread public support. Three quarters of Britons said they were "unsure how to relate" to women wearing the full face veil and niqab – which leaves just the eyes visible. People also admitted to feeling "uneasy", "nervous" and "threatened" by the full face veil. Only one fifth of those questioned in the ComRes study for Channel 4 News said they felt comfortable around people wearing full face veils. Muslim author Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, who does not wear a veil or headscarf, insisted most Muslims would agree with the survey's findings. "I bet a lot of Muslims were included in this survey, most Muslims are not keen on this," she said. "We live in a society which is very, very complicated and to shut yourself off as if the rest of us are infectious is not right." She added: "The meaning of this is women are dangerous to men and society and therefore must be covered and that's what we cannot accept." But Fatima Barkatulla, director of the Seeds of Change Muslim Women's Conference, who wears the niqab, defended the veil. She said: "My message to the British public is, 'You've got nothing to fear' "The people who have actually interacted with women who wear the face veil, the people who work with them, have absolutely no problem with it. "It is a fear of the unknown." Face veils have been the subject of heated debate in recent weeks since a college was forced into a U-turn after introducing rules which banned students from wearing Muslim face veils. Just days later Muslim defendant won the right to wear her niqab when standing trial as long as she removed it to give evidence. It also emerged a number of hospitals had been ordering frontline staff not to wear the niqab. A massive four fifths of Britons support a ban on full face veils and niqabs being worn in schools, courts and hospitals, while 58 per cent want to see all head coverings abolished in these institutions. The Prime Minister has said he would "back up" schools and courts that ask people to remove Muslim veils but refused to condone a full ban despite pressure from a growing number of Conservative MPs. Speaking on the Andrew Marr programme last month he said: "We are a free country and people should be free to wear whatever clothes they like in public or in private. "But we should support those institutions that need to put in place rules so that those institutions can work properly. "So for instance in a school, if they want that particular dress code, I believe the Government should back them. The same for courts, the same for immigration." Jeremy Hunt, the health secretary, said it was up to individual hospitals to decide whether their staff should be allowed to wear face veils but the Government has ordered a review of all health service uniform policies.

Schools and colleges are currently given the freedom to set their own policies on uniform. Guidance from the Department for Education states that it should be possible for various religious beliefs to be accommodated within individual institutions' policies. The right to a particular religious dress code is safeguarded by the Human Rights Act and must be followed by schools and colleges, it is claimed.

If the UK is going to ban the head-bag, then we have to prepare for riots & be prepared to shoot to kill if life is put in danger, as it was during the riots of 2011. The police have to be prepared to act every single time one of these barbaric garments is witnessed on the street, otherwise there will be no point &, furthermore, Muslims will be encouraged in the idea that they are above British law, something they are all too willing to believe already.

Therefore, it will not be the case that the UK will ever institute such a proscription, which is a pity. As Yasmin Alibhai-Brown is right in her observation that the attitude adopted with the donning of the burka is "as if the rest of us are infectious". Far from a habit of modesty, the wearing of the niqab, if willing, is an act of supreme arrogance. It is saying that the wearers consider themselves better than the rest of us, & they do. Islam is fundamentally supremacist, & these silly, sanctimonious bints imagine that, as they swelter beneath their sackcloth in August, looking down on the rest of us kuffar, we must be looking up at them. When, in actual fact, we are laughing at them.

What a	Stupid	Sanctimonious	Stuck-Up	Cow

As for this Fatima Barkatulla character, her statement was insulting to the intelligence of the native British people &, also, inaccurate on its face. There is plenty to fear from the widespread adoption of the head-bag. We have now seen Muslim criminals & terrorists use this means of anonymity as a ruse to evade capture. The murderer of Sharon Beshenivsky, Mustaf Jama, used the burka to flee the UK, as did Hussein Osman, after his bungled attempt to detonate a homemade bomb on the London Underground on 21st July 2005.

Furthermore, if there are women in Muslim countries who are prepared to face death as a result of their refusal of this walking prison then we can be sure that a very strong component of coercion, not to say violence, in the Muslim community exists in connection with its adoption. And that's just Muslim women. There are stories of English women in neighbourhoods that have come to be dominated by Muslims who face harassment & abuse: threats of rape & murder by Muslim youths, for not wearing this ugly, imported, foreign, repressive & alien thing. This is absolutely unacceptable. If the Muslim community at large cannot police itself to the extent of not harassing native English people, then they should be policed to the extent of abandoning whatever primitive custom they have brought with them into the civilised world.

But, alas, this will not happen. Finally, there is the legitimisation of rape. The original assumption necessitating the head-bag is that males cannot be held responsible for their own sexual conduct. Muslim societies do not hold men, but women, accountable for rape. If a woman is not dressed like a cross between a nun & a ninja then it is surmised that she deserves everything that happens to her. Hence the threats of rape directed towards Englishwomen. The widespread uptake of this despicable garment is, therefore, a statement that rape is acceptable.

There is much to fear from the niqab & the burka.

In addition, to all this, there is the question of Fatima Barkatulla herself. This individual turns out to be a fervent Islamist, one who is working towards the Islamisation of British society & is a prominent member of the Islamic Research & Education Academy (iERA). This was revealed in an exposé of a recent Channel 4 debate by Trending Central on Saturday (hat-tip to Tarek Fatah @TarekFatah. This person is not an honest broker, must be considered to be as supremacist as her religion &, to judge by her patronising comments about non-Muslims, is.

One final point, many of the respondents to the survey told of discomfiture in dealing with one of these traffic bollards. Three quarters said they were "unsure how to relate" to them. Simple advice: don't. They demonstrate their perceived superiority to you by wearing this thing, do not bother with them. If you hear a disembodied voice & there is no face that goes with it, walk on.

Say Houmous!
