Eh? I merely said he was a Muslim, in order to make the point that his wife wears a burqa.
Why does it matter what part of his religious life is moderate?
I want to live in a free country and that means allowing people to do stuff I don't agree with, don't understand and don't want. It's a price, I think, worth paying.
We dont just live in a free country, its been earnt, fought for and upheld, there is never price worth paying to undermine it.
We certainly did fight for EVERYONE'S freedom

Are you saying therefore we should adopt their religious culture, communism anyone ??
Nope, just respect it.
P.S: What culture has communism as a religion? A very confused post.
What is this heightened regard for religious people and their beliefs, I might like a person that is religious but wouldn't respect them because they are religious, quite the contrary ............... ?
Flounced off again, Nibble style.There's absolutely no way you could know that though is there. In Dubai. During Ramadan, we regularly went to the Iftar at local hotels or even in the radio station.
Now I know you all think you are not allowed to talk to them, not true. Granted it's a bit awkward but if a male relative is present and it's a certain situation or setting, you can of course converse with Muslim women.
You lot need to get out in the world a but and cease judging other people by your own narrow minded standards.
"I lived in Tower Hamlets". It's actually laughable.
Anyway, another interesting thread shot down by NSC's right wing club. You lot really are getting dull. Bye.
Apropos of nothing, 'Burqa' is an Arabic word but when spelt using the Latin alphabet we usually use a 'q'. Who decided that? You'd think that when we spell words from other languages that don't use the Latin alphabet that we'd make it phonetic - that just sort of makes sense to me but no, we use very odd letters to represent the sounds. And where Burqa is spelt with a 'k' there's usually a silent 'h' after it - burkha. What's the point in having a silent letter in a word that has been specifically borrowed from another alphabet?
See also Beijing, karaoke, czar... this has puzzled and bothered me far more than it should.
Why? It is not a religious decision but a cultural one. It's a free choice and we are a free Country. They should be allowed to wear what they want.
no good can come from banning a piece of clothing. Trying to ban the burqa will only create more division.
As much as i dislike the ideology behind it, we're far better off just letting them get on with it and hope it dies out in the future.
