The Think tank report by Civitas, concludes that the Islamic face veil is a part of being British, and should be celebrated in the same way as the crucifix.
The author of the report, Alveena Malik (not surprisingly a faith advisor to the previous bloody labour government) notes that the test for whether a religious symbol is whether it is practical.
The report "Women, Islam and western liberalism" goes on to announce that Britain needs to avoid the direction of the rest of Europe in denouncing face veils and fully support face veil. And that to wear a religious symbols is a fundamental human right. The religious symbol would fail if it prevented the person from performing their public civic duties.
Most people in this country are completely against face veils, because it does oppress women. I imagine most western women want to ban it, because they fear the tide of islamification forcing the veil upon them also.
My opinion if the veil is that is oppressive not just to the women ( and male terrorists) that wear them, but that it is also oppressive to people who have to see it. It makes the average person weary, if not intimidated by the darth vaderesque outfit.It also makes me sad to be English, in that most of the wider society want the veil banned, but our pathetic liberal politicians just cant find the courage to do anything that might offend.
And if it were down to them, western civilisation would be lost to this medieval desert religion.
The conservative government should therefore propose a referendum on the veil, and should abide by the wishes of the people. Or go even further than that and ask the electorate to decide on whether they support immigration, whether they want immigrants in our country at all? If this had happened in 1948 many of the problems of the late 20th century and to the present day could have been avoided, for example no 7/7 London bombings, this country would not then have had apparently "British", home grown muslim terrorists.
