Practically anything can be justified on security grounds. Why can the state not put CCTV in your home, a keylogger on your computer and trackers on your car? It would certainly reduce the threat of terrorism.
Thatchersforearm said:Damocles said:And therein lies the problem. I'm sorry, but that's bullshit. We've had a single terrorist attack carried out by Muslims in the last 100 years in this country. This idea that there are terrorists all over the place who are planning to KILL YOU is wrong, and stirred up by the people who make money out this shit, usually the politicians and the media.
Even the Government, when pressed, have previously admitted that the bombings had nothing to do with Al-Qaeda. One of them was born in Leeds and was a teacher. One was born in Bradford and worked in a chippy. Another was a carpet fitter from Jamaica with the last one being an 18 year old unemployed kid from Leeds. The connection between these people was that they were all seemingly Muslim from roundabouts the same area.
Not a single one of them tried to cover their face with any sort of effects, and were dressed in normal clothes when they went to do the bombing.
I know we have had just one actual attack, but one, along with posted internet threats from recognised terrorists is enough for the threat to be real. All I said was there is a real threat. I ever mentioned Al Qaeda once. You just presumed I was talking about them. As for the fact they wore 'western' clothing when carrying out those attacks doesn't mean shit. Maybe next time they will dress up in a burka to gain an advantage to carry out their attack. Maybe they won't. It would however, be foolish to just assume they wouldn't.
maybe not, but its a closer equasion than 1 wrongTheMightyQuinn said:TheLegendOfBerti said:so it's ok for christian women to be stopped from wearing a little cross under clothing but not for muslims to be stopped being rude, ignorant and cause public concern by covering their faces?
If you went round wearing a balaclava you would unnerve an awful lot of people so I don't see the difference, I also don't see "Allah" striking down the muslim women who don't wear it, so for me they should be banned.
No.
2 wrongs do not make a right.
Aren't we at war with the Taliban due to supposed oppression of the people? Why do we want to be exactly the same?
Every single man, woman and child on earth should be free to dress as they please. Just because a Muslim doesn't want us to wear a cross does not mean that we should petulantly want them to remove their clothing.
Do unto others.
