the french are debating national identity and the wearing of bourquas is to be banned...theres a limit to what any host nation can take....once i was refused entry into a petrol station because i was wearing a bonnet..a week ago a post office was robbed by 2 persons deguised in bourquas.....people should be very careful about claiming there beliefs and not think its a gods given right to say what they want on behalf of a religeon!

poste shitume...the pope publicly stated that wearing rubbers is a sin....poor wee ignorant africans the majority can't read and words spoken by religeous leaders are taking for gosspel

Governments, such as our current one, are based on an ideology, and not what is actually in everyone's interests - making it impossible for people to address issues rationally and openly without persecution. That's what happened in Germany in the 1930s as well...

On a wider integration issue, France have done exactly the same with the wearing of the hijab, and it is strongly suggested by the Australian government that if immigrants to their country are unwilling to integrate into the prevelant western culture there, perhaps Australia is not the right place for them. Both entirely acceptable in my view. Geert Wilders is expressing a similar concern over integration and potential violence.

And you had the gall to refer to my view as "narrow".

Your interest is not in "truth," nor in "free speech." You've swallowed the line that our culture inherently has "right" on its side. It doesn't. You're a politician's dream.

To suggest that the attacks launched against America and the UK over the last decade are primarily religiously motivated is utter folly.

Don't take my word for it though - research it and think it through for yourself ;-)
