Thread Name: BS: Jack Straw and 'The Veil' controversy
Subject: RE: BS: Jack Straw and 'The Veil' controversy
This is pc gone absolutely crazy! Here are a few points! 1. Women wearing the veil can't function properly in British society because, for one reason, they can't - won't - be employed by the vast majority of businesses 2. their veil creates a barrier between themselves and mainstream British life. 3. Their veils create unease and suspicion within British society. 4. Such obvious - in your face - expressions of religious beliefs are offensive to many people.5. The suggestion that showing their faces to men will drive men to become unhealthily lustful is an insult to the male population. 6. The wearing of the veil is offensive to many British women as it is a symbol of the subjugation of muslim women. 7. The veil is a big hindrance in efforts to integrate muslims into British society.
