It's sparked a rise in hate crime. Well done Conservative party.

To mock muslim women is a hate crime. Muslim and Muslim women were subjected to it.

I am not mocking them... neither did Boris. He made a comment that shows how ridiculous it is.

[naomi24]

Rubbish! It's no more a hate crime than mocking anyone else for a similar reason. He mocked a garment - no different to me laughing at the ludicrous outfits Kim Whatshername with the gigantic behind wears. Oops. Does saying she has a gigantic behind constitute a hate crime?

[spathiphyllum]

It does not do that though. The burka isn't ridiculous.. And it doesn't resemble a letter box. What he did was made a crude, offensive comment. It's not the only form of Islamophobia in the Con party either.

If you can't distinguish between a religious hate crime and a mocking an A list celebrity then we can leave the chat here.

Why is all this being offended and talk of racism, Islamophobia and Xenophobia, directed solely against white westerners.

When a huge proportion of those who have chosen to come to these shores, really hate our guts and on occasions have proven this by the terrorist attacks that they have carried out against us?

[naomi24]

A religious hate crime? Don't be ridiculous, spath.

I am not oppressing women... how did you work that out, spath?
Can you give me one single reason, why you, or any other human being, would genuinely choose to cover up their whole face, except their eyes? Religion is not a "reason", it is a demand. What is their "free choice" reason?

"Can you give me one single reason, why you, or any other human being, would genuinely choose to cover up their whole face, except their eyes? "

To stop men from perverting on me or my body. To make sure that someone would not use my appearance as a reason for or against me.

Why don't you research why women wear the burka, before you assume every woman is forced into one?

"Don't be ridiculous, spath."

I'm not.

"directed solely against white westerners."

It's not but be offended if you wish. It's towards all those who oppress Muslims because they're prejudice opinions.

And you think this is justifiable? Seriously?

In some cases it might be a good idea lol.

"And you think this is justifiable? Seriously?"

Damn right. Why on earth not? If i want to hide my body from society i have the right to. You denying that right.. is suppression.

[naomi24]

Have you asked for a pay rise yet, spath? You deserve one. :o)

Then they should look more closer to their own males, than assume that western men are the same.

"Then they should look more closer to their own males, than assume that western men are the same."

The burka isn't only worn in western countries. They wear them in countries where the majority religion is Islam.

You show a clear lack of understanding.

[Baldric]

Spath, do you mean 'perving' as I don't see how anyone could 'pervert' on someone's body?

[spathiphyllum]

Baldric, Yes.

I think that it is you and not I who lacks understanding.

I never said that the burka was only worn in Western countries, I was referring to their men regardless of where they live.

Hence this:

"Then they should look more closer to their own males, than assume that western men are the same."

[spathiphyllum]

Who said that they assume westerners are the same?

If Boris Johnson was guilty of a religious hate crime don't you think he would of been marched off to Westminster Police Station pronto and charged with that offence. Plenty of witnesses to his joke. It was made public.
