Want to buy a sense of humour? :)

If you're protective of culture... why is my personal belief any different from culture? I express my individuality by laughing at something that I found funny... Where is the disrespect in calling something very similar to a ninja suit and ninja suit? :(

Did you say that to a Muslim woman? If so, that's offensive towards them and out of order. If it's your opinion but you don't go around saying to women who wear veils then you're free to hold it.

I think the similarity he's making is that victorian england was about women covering everything up. Islamic law/religion hasn't moved on, whereas england has.

And? That necessitates a law being passed?

If I wear a jacket from the 80's, should I be arrested for not keeping up with the modern fashions?

So I don't think there is any argument there.

Spot on, and obviously OcUK represents a fair and balanced cross-section of society. To be honest though, I am surprised that so many people voted for a blanket ban. However, I don't see 407 other people spouting the same juvenile local pub trash that you and groen seem to think passes for pointed discussion.

that's the point, deadbeat. people have their differing reasons for the ban, i've voiced mine, right or wrong (iyo) i'm putting across my views and i believe that this poll (be it only on an internet forum) is a true reflection of how the country feels but not everyone speaks up about. it's not about racism so keep your 'pub trash' accusations comments out of it please
 
After my serious research in to the matter i came to the conclusion that it is due to the small size of the muslims man penis that he has to cover up his 14 year old cousin's skin after they get married. Otherwise his other cousins might come in and take his prize, after all that could cost him his life of eternity with mr MO in the clouds.

Another thing that is bloody stupid is the beard, you guys are so pathetic that your religion has an outfit for the man and the women. So 1750.

You think a 650 vote poll on an internet computer forum is a true reflection of what 60million people think?

You know what I mean. The visor can be put down which would cut off eye contact between the person wearing the helmet and the person talking to them

And it's obvious you're a massive xenophobe who has no idea what he's talking about.

No it's not and it's becoming blindingly obvious you know almost nothing about Islam.

It is certainly a tool used to supress women. Hence why it is only women that have to cover up in such a way. It removes their individuality and reinforces their position as chattle. It is also somewhat insulting to men too, that we are incapable of gazing upon a women without lustful thoughts. I am struggling to understand why you would suggest it isn't a suppression tool when it so obviously is?
