Hey, it's me. said:

The Burka is not compulsory in Islam. There are already cases arising where it has been used as a guise to commit crimes. Plus it is a very unsocial statement (in my view) and its wearers are basically saying 'I don't want to be part of your society'.

I think it's fine if people don't want to homogenize (not that I'm homophobic). I'm okay with people being anti-social. Whether they wear all black and scowl, peer out from behind tattered curtains, or be Amish.

The English and History being taught in Mosques was aimed at Muslim immigrant adults who arrive in the UK. And if they don't or refuse then I'm sorry what is your purpose of moving here? You will not be able to find a job without being able to speak English and having some general knowledge of the history and culture of your adoptive country is very beneficial. If you've come for a better quality of life then its hardly a massive sacrifice to do this is it? Failure to do this will ultimately result in deportation. 3 strikes and your out if you will.

Requiring english to become a citizen is fine. What sort of system you have that there immigrants are allowed to stay indefinitely I don't know. It seems like in the absence of becoming a citizen, immigrants must eventually leave, english-speaking or not.

I did, you're still a bigot and women should still be allowed to wear Burkas if they want. As for concerns about 11 year olds. I couldn't chose not to go to Sunday School when I was 11. Part of freedom of religion is the right a parent to bring their child up in his/her religion.

Warbs, you've been accused of bigotry and it seems like you would step more lightly in throwing the accusations at others. I'm with you that women should wear burkas if they want. France banned even headscarves, which is quite loony to me.

In our society, those enablers are typically liberals. Then those lefties, as you call them, blind themselves to the truth to continue their enabling in good conscience, more or less.

Not all problems, just this one. I'll get around to the others ;)

And liberals love non-Christian religions.

Well that's a broad brush...I hate all religions. :p

No match for a good blaster at your side, kid.
