Even Bosnia is considering banning the niqab. Bosnia, an artifice of genocidal Islamist terrorists with overt Nazi tendencies, the population of which belongs overwhelmingly to two Christian subject-peoples historically overrun by the Turks, and the Constitution of which bans Jews and Gypsies from the Senate and the Presidency.
For this, we fought a war, the one that set both the scene and the precedent for Afghanistan and Iraq. Christmas edges closer to being banned with each succeeding year, an experience to which the Christians of Iraq had better accustom themselves, such of them as remain at all. Yet even there, they are not so sure about the veil.
But then, look at Syria. Christian-majority provinces, and Christian festivals as public holidays. But still a constitutional requirement that the President be a Muslim, much as our own Head of State has to be a Protestant. Yet a state which takes Islam with that level of seriousness forbids face-covering in universities.
If Syria and even Bosnia can restrict this practice, or even consider banning outright, then why on earth don't we?

Why aren't we more like a country that bans Jews and Gypsies from government?
ReplyDeleteThat's really your ambition for this country - to be more like Bosnia?
As I have said before, my enemies are the gifts that keep on giving.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you are very proud of having cheered on this country's use of armed force in order to cobble together a state founded by an SS recruitment sergeant turned Wahhabi rabble-rouser, a state which bans Jews and Gypsies, as such, from the Presidency and the Senate.
As proud as of you must be of having cheered on the dismemberment of Iraq in order to hand over the centre to the Wahhabi and the south to their Shi'ite twins.
Gypsies at least should be barred from the Presidency and the Senate in the UK. I'm not so sure about Jews.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, Catholics (though not Muslims) are barred from being the head of state in the U.K. Many countries have these bans, and tend to repeal them right at the point where they actually affect something.
Its not a great analogy, but a Christian majority country banning the niqab is more akin to a Muslim majority country banning the swastika.
The gift that keeps on giving.
ReplyDeleteI will put up other people's corrections of Apu's factual errors, but I msyelf cannot quite be bothered.
