Make no mistake, Johnson's comments were extremely insensitive and clearly designed to cause offence. But given that the burqa isn't a requirement of Islam, can criticising it really be classed as Islamaphobic? It's the choice of clothing he's criticising, not the religion. Some non-Muslim women choose to wear burqas/niqabs over here and I'd imagine Johnson would think they they look like letterboxes too.
 
I personally am against the Burqa.

I wouldn't make the comments that Johnson has made in public, but I have often thought it. I personally find it oppressive and something that is not required in our society.

It pushes multi culturism just a step too far for me.

Yes, pushes.

There are elements of multi culturism that I find difficult to accept, things like Sharia Law, beheadings and executions, FGM. Things that I think most common sense posters on here would agree are offensive to our society.

To me the Burqa takes, pushes (take your choice) or if you prefer is a step too far for me personally.
 
What amazes me is there are more women who wear it in the U.K. percentage wise, than wear it in the main city’s of Pakistan. One of the things that was funny,but for the delicate PC brigade we seem to have on board,was not meant to be funny, was the woman with the burqua in the Icecream queue. Curiosity got the better of me and my family and we sat and waited for about 10 minutes until she got served on how was she going to eat it. It was a Mr Whippy so would she risk getting it down her gown by lift the burqua eat it through the slot using her tongue or ultimately take it off in her Adam and Eve moment. The actual outcome was totally unexpected and a bit of an anti climax. She just paid for it and gave it to her young daughter who was sat about 4 benches further down. A totally disappointing outcome.

Two questions that are probably most relevant to the debating of women wearing the burqa:

1) Are you Muslim?
2) Are you a woman?

If the answers to both the questions above is no then have you ever stopped to think maybe your own perception, and perhaps even your own unconscious stereotypical prejudices, might be leading your view on said item of clothing?

But that isn’t multiculturalism, is it? The examples you list are extreme and I don’t think any right minded person would disagree that beheadings and FGM are anything other than backward - these sorts of things are often discussed on TV/radio

I’m not top up on Sharia Law but my instinct tells me that it isn’t as extreme or as brutal as some individuals of YouTube, Daily Mail, etc fame would have us believe.

So to some up, it’s not multiculturalism that is the issue. It’s extremists. Most people, of all areas of society, have a problem with extremists
 
Womans got a nerve



After all with



Boris is being a **** again you would think she would have some level of not reigniting tge windrush conversation and rcism qithin the tory party

All the same is it okay with you that parts of society or communities adopt Shariah Law or should all citizens abide by the same laws ?
 
It's a nonsence most muslim women I see and the ones both staff and students at work either wear no headwear or the hijab.

And maybe it's where I live (gorton) but I have maybe seen 40 Burqas in my lifetime on the streets of Manchester, but then maybe I am not looking, as on my list of things I worry about it is pretty low down.

As for sharia no law based on religous text should be what a society base ot's laws on.


And Johnson is a full shilling, but also a horrible **** which os why he talks like this
