“Villains find burquas the perfect disguise!” Well HELLO. Of course they fucking do. Jesus Walt Disney Christ, what is the world coming to? I was shopping in the High St not three days ago when my friend Cynthia, astute but hypoglycemic, needed a pastry. We espied a new cafe, Samosa’a, which wasn’t our cup of tea, but if Cynthia doesn’t get sugar on demand she dies. Well everybody in there was dressed from head to foot in burqas and we couldn’t make head nor tail of their jibber jabber. They were like the fucking sand people in Star Wars. If Cynthia hadn’t grasped a Snickers from a vending machine that still took Sterling she might not be here today. Not one of those ninja nightied freaks offered assistance and we can’t even name and shame them coz they could have been any fucker.

I’m anti-prohibitionist on this, because I can’t see how you liberate women from sexist repression by threatening to prosecute them for wearing the wrong clothes in public. Not only does that not even begin to address the problem, it could make it worse.

I would make a libertarian secularist case both against the burqa and against banning it.

Similarly, there are good feminist arguments both against prostitution and against the prohibition of prostitution.

If I have deeply held religious beliefs that people with red hair should be killed ,does that give me the right to go around and kill them then, Buffy? Or were you joking.

This is a seriously funny send-up of the burqa by Afghan women. German musicians held a workshop at the State Music College in Kabul where one woman was so taken with the drums that she decided to have a go and created the band which is called, appropriately “Burqa Band”.

If Sikh kids (good description) want to wear daggers in school, there is a place where they can do so. It is called India. And if women want to wear full-body tents, there are places where they can do so. They are calls slave marts.

As long as we allow religious privilege this sort crime will continue and increase. How many terrorists have we allowed into the UK hidden under burqas?

I notice the Sikhs are again whining about the right of their brats to take daggers into school.
