"The victim’s wife made a comment directed to her husband that she thought it must be difficult for the woman wearing the veil to see out of it as it covered her face," a police spokesman said.
So, Khadija, in her video message asserts that British society needs to be more tolerant of religion. She cites the Danish cartoon controversy. She was not condemning the reaction of Muslims, but the actions of the cartoonists. She also condemned Jacks Straws comments, and oh so predictably cited the veil removal incident as a direct result of Jacks Straws comments.
But it is Britian that needs to be more tolerant. Never mind that the most violent reaction to Jacks Straws comments was that of a Muslim man braking somebody's nose and teeth.
In fact nobody has died as a result of "Islamophobia" in this country. Yet we have 52 dead people from the July bombings. And we need to be more tolerant.
Update: Alison points to this
AL-QAEDA'S deputy leader said yesterday that any Muslim woman who wears the veil in Western countries is a supporter in what he described as a fight between Islam and "Zionist Crusaders".
Great post, Jonz. I would only add that, while there may be 52 dead, in fact, the Islamofascists tried again two weeks later, and they tried to bomb the Chunnel with Ricin, and they tried to hijack airplanes leaving the UK and crash them in America.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to intent, they demonstrate willingness to kill as many of us as they possibly can.
Thanks... very true. The figure is only 52 - not through lack of want!
ReplyDeleteI think banning the veil will become a big issue. Because of security concerns to the society at large, it will be difficult for the Islamofascists to defend the practice. Even many dhimmis in the west may agree with us on this one.
