And what am i slow to understand, SK?

[spathiphyllum]

ID has always been required to go through airport security. No one is asked for ID at a bank SK.

Again, people read what they want to hear...

Naomi, what about my standards, which I must admit have to be lowered to match some of the posters on AB.

The preferential treatment and courtesies afforded to followers of the Islamic faith.

"NJ, i'm talking about a full body gown, as you well know."

Presumably the top bit (the face mask) is detachable, spathi/

"The preferential treatment and courtesies afforded to followers of the Islamic faith."

Well oh my i thought this thread was about the difference between a motorbike helmet an a burqua and how they can't compare to each other apart from covering a part of the face.

I guess everyone comes from different perception / angles to a thread.

[spathiphyllum]

you presume, but it's not always the case NJ, so if they had nothing under-neigh, they'd have to be refused access because they can't take off the entire gown.

[dannyk13]

NJ, if not detachable it can still be lowered.

"which I must admit have to be lowered to match some of the posters on AB."

How pompous.

the bank often ask for ID, you can't get money out from cashier without a card where you have to input your pin number. But this is about something that should concern us all. If the lady was asked to remove her crash helmet, and the man in a burkha wasn't asked to remove his veil, you don't have to get undressed to do that, then that is what the bank should ask. But they don;t presumably.

As I previously said, "slow to understand"

[dannyk13]

Spath, how pompous.
How arrogant.

[emmie]

as i already pointed out most if not all the women who wear the burqua wear western clothes underneath. If not western clothes then their own particular dress code.

"slow to understand"

Well considering the OP had no angle to come from, and i was the first poster, maybe i was setting the andlge for others to follow, or you know.. Not just being one of the crowd. Either way your now personal bashing instead of contributing to the thread. As a user of your calibre, i'd be careful.

[spathiphyllum]

one of the first*

[SparklyKid]

Quaking now, lol.

[dannyk13]

Spath //slow to understand//
You, again forgot, to indicate to whom you are referring to,

[SparklyKid]

I will take credit for calling Spath obtuse. No insult intended just a fair appraisal of his views on the subject in hand.

[spathiphyllum]

Of your perception of my views on the subject at hand **
