It is the Islamophobia that will create mountains between civilisations, the continuing erosion of peoples freedom is the aim of these hypocrites, the bnp are just plain racists that have changed their appearence to gain votes, once in power, they would fleece the people just as the rest of them do, they dont need anything to endorse their hatred of non whites. The right to cover your face is a right that should not be taken away when it is done in submission to God, that is a right that if taken away globally will create an even wider gap between the main religions, the fall out from that is pretty straight forward to most i would imagine

Except that God does not require submission by covering your face, neither does the Koran.

It isn’t Islamophobia that will create mountains, it’s fundamentalism, whether that is Islamic fundamentalism, Christian fundamentalism, Jewish fundamentalism, and so on.

Ban religion, that’s what I say :wink:

You seem to have missed my point of it being a personal interpretation

The control comes from those who demand

A robber posed as a woman in a burka to get past staff at a jeweller’s in Greater Manchester.

The man used the disguise to get into Capri Jewellers on Benson Street, Bury, on Wednesday afternoon.

As soon as he was buzzed in he let in three other men, one armed with a gun, and they stole a large amount of jewellery before escaping.

Detectives said the robbery showed “detailed planning” and are appealing for information.

Chubby build

Det Con Chris Jameson, of Bury CID, said: “The store has very tight security so the ruse used to gain entry shows a level of detailed planning and I want to hear from anyone who may have overheard the gang preparing for this robbery.

“I would also urge anyone who knows the whereabouts of the getaway car or who may have been approached with a view to buying the stolen items to call police.

“All information will be treated in strict confidence.”

The man dressed as a woman is described as Asian, over 6ft and of thin build.

The getaway driver is Asian, in his early 20s and of chubby build. He was bald and wearing glasses.

The other three offenders are Asian and were wearing balaclavas.

Burka-clad knifeman in third raid
(UKPA) – 7 hours ago

A burka-clad knifeman has struck a third travel agent in less than a year.

Disguised in black Muslim clothing with only his eyes visible, the culprit robbed Thomson Travel in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, on Saturday after threatening two female members of staff.

The raider forced a member of staff to fill his bag with a large amount of money from an office and till before making his escape through the front entrance.

The incident follows two similar robberies in the area last summer, the first was at First Choice travel agent in Dunstable on July 7 which was targeted by a burka-wearing robber and the same happened in Thomson Travel in Luton on August 16, Bedfordshire Police said.

Detectives said they were keeping an open mind about whether the three incidents were linked. A spokeswoman said: “The pattern the offenders have followed is strikingly similar.

Now these people may or not be muslims, this isn’t a racial issue, but once the law is passed it won’t be happening in Canada or Belgium or France

The criminal will use any method to enact his crime, what next, the banning of wigs, the banning of cosmetics, both equally able to conceal identity ?

Let me tell you, i have seen men dressed as women using cosmetics and wigs etc, had it not been for prior knowledge that they were disguised, i would not have recognised the difference…. cop out ? i dont think so !
