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

And retro.. ah retro!! I said it was a garment not a symbol. I'm right.

It is a garment worn by Muslim women.. making it a religious garment...

"Spath, I would still like to see your reasons why you would be personally happy to have your face covered in public?"

Why wouldn't I?

I have every right to cover my face if i want to.

spath, calling people names is no way to counter an argument. Meet your opponent with facts ... but make sure you know the facts before you enter the fray. Anything less - in this instance in particular - is likely to tie you in knots and make you look very silly.

Spath, from the Site Rules:-

Maybe users should refrain from being racist?

Stop sympathising for these racists and let my comments stand.

Muslim women are possessed with vaginas. It doesn't make them hookers does it?
The Beatles and othe music groups used to parade around wearing medals and military uniforms. Doesn't mean they were soldiers does it?
It is a garment thats all. No religious connotation attached to it. It is a garment worn by those either already in that culture or those who wish to associate themselves with that culture. Nothing less.

Not all christians wear crucifixes. It is not a religious requirment.
How do relate to the Beatles analogy then?

The burka is, fundamentally, a political uniform - a visible symbol of Islam.
