//my young son was really scared of these faceless people. It's intimidating clothing.//

Really? As a parent our job is to educate and remove suspicion and unnecessary fear from our kids,maybe a good start would be to go on the internet to show them people of the world whose colour, cultural dress differs from ours and that not everyone who is different needs to be feared and held in suspicion.

//I saw a picture in today’s paper of three (presumably) women clad from the top of their head to their feet in what can only be described as a black dustsheet. There was no indication that what lay underneath was human.//

Omg I nearly choked to death in laughter after reading that and these comments would be so sad if they weren’t scandalously hilarious.
Was the figure a biped? Walked upright? Had 4 limbs, 1 head and was devoid of tentacles, a trunk, horns or a tail? Didn’t just exit a saucer shaped flying object? Was In a populated area not trying to eat people?!Then I’m pretty sure it was a human.

It’s no wonder with adults amongst us who see other cultures as scary faceless non human monsters that we then project our irrational fears or PHOBIAS to our kids and grandkids thus never ending the cycle of scaremongering and mass hysteria.

We really need to think long, hard and deep about what we’re foing here.

Is that a cry of exasperation or desire, ummmm?
When I first came on here, I was accused of not being a new member which quite surprised me, BUT I am 100% certain that the one posting on here and having continual digs at aog is a former member who only recently left - couldn't stay away for long could you Islay ?? Personally, if I was you aog, I would totally ignore her and not let her rile you. I accept that's easier said than done though.

All I can say about your thread is, I wish my country had the same backbone ...
It is not against the Site Rules to discuss old members or members who have gone "User_Inactive". However, if this intolerance perpetuates then we shall be editing the Site Rules.
Minkyme....you don't need to teach me how to be a parent.

Thank you for your kind support, even though it has created perhaps yet another site rule, perhaps there should also be one labelled 'We won't tolerate bullying'.
//What makes a liberal nation such as Denmark go to such levels?//

Denmark is party to the Schengen Agreement. They are seeing what we are not. For the same reason other such nations are experiencing similar concerns…. and their concerns are justified.
The Queen of Denmark, a very highly-educated and talented lady,who speaks 6 languages fluently without even a trace of a foreign accent, has also made her views known on this in the past. No shrinking violet she.
Minkyme, //We really need to think long, hard and deep about what we’re foing here.//

You do indeed. Go learn about Islam.
Most of it sounds sensible, if courageous. Unsure about different penalties depending on where a crime's been committed though. Nor how effective removing the "right" to child benefits might be. It would be nice if everyone could wear whatever they liked, but the burka is a form of subjection and indicates an upbringing that warps reasonable belief in one's right not to have to hide away. Good luck to the Danes, let's hope they've found the solution to integration in fewest generations, and can create a society with best practice throughout.
aog at 16:47 - agree with you x
