Public reaction to Jack straw statement about Islamic dress

[chulakaailapperuma]

The veil is an attack against civilized society. These women are hypocrites who enjoy the freedoms of western society but have nothing but contempt for it. Who cares about their backward religious beliefs? Are we all to be dragged back to the 7th century?

[samthegreencat47]

one in 4 what a disgrace they have fucked and destroyed this country!

[carrrrera]

Islam oppresses women !! Any Muslim woman who says otherwise is either ignorant or is lying throughout her teeth.. I mean her burka

[carrrrera]

Islam is a religion which operates women. The Quran and hadiths clearly show that Islam is against women's rights and regards them as lower then men. Any Muslim woman who says otherwise is simply lying. The real Arabic Quran us so against women !! Shame on all who support that ugly disgusting burka!!

[Hyrshau]

European women must cover their head in Muslim countries, why do Muslim always find it so difficult to adjust to the law of the lands they were INVITED to live in? Jack Straw is right. I work for the NHS and would refuse to work with a patient who refuses to show me her face.

[LeonJC123]

these filthy thrid world fuckers have fucked bburn up absolute shit hole, twenty years time it will be a muslim ridden hell hole.

[charlieiscool1000]

the vail should be banned this is fucking stupid

[BritishBeliever]

@charlieiscool1000 fucking paki take your primitive life away now !

[charlieiscool1000]

whhat who the fuck ru talking too im white u twat i should it "SHOULD" be banned

[hoplite1766]

BNP [X]

Straw you Marxist goons brought them in, reap what you sow you treacherous bastard, Labour NEVER AGAIN!

[amaqula]

Secular western governments are only against Islamic terrorism - they are NOT against peaceful demogrpahic takeover by Islam! In fact they need it to replace ageing populations!

Only a CATHOLIC STATE - foundational state of the west - will resist your demogrpahic wipeout and Islamisation at the hands of idiot secular governance! Prepare for a Catholic State - or prepare for your burka!

[KNOWYOUNOW]

I hate Rod Liddle. No wonder they call him Rodless Liddle. After all he needs Viagra.

He claims bullying is trivial and doesn't matter. He is a evil thug. He talks about black men doing mugging then he says bullying does not matter. Well if he thinks violence and abuse doesn't matter why does he claim to care about black men doing muggings, or is he a psychotic idiot who thinks violence only counts if it is done by blacks.

He's obsessed by black men, yet needs Viagra to satisfy white women.

[Barenziahlover]

Jack Straw need to resign his post in parliament.

[tabitha501]

Veils may have been more valid 1000 years ago in desert countries where there was general disorder and disregard for women as separate entities. Nowadays, in the West, veils are absurd. We don't have en mass rapes, we don't have women routinely sold & exchanged as chattels. We don't have warring factions plundering the land. British men completely accept a womans right to live, work, be educated & make choices. They won't lose control over uncovered flesh. Therefore face veils are irrelevant.

[888sausage]

for your safety from muslim men who think they have the right to rape you because your asking for it. is that what you are trying to say? in an oppressed kind of way?.in this country you have rights.use them,dont betray your daughters

[itachiuchiha7297]

The women's clothing is only worn to protect us!!!!!1 I have no problem wearing why do you people????? let us wear it in peace... I dont expect for nonmuslims to understand this. we dont wear because men tell us to we wear it because we love allah and it is his command.. just let us wear it in peace

[sidensvans67]

Labour are selling our country out to a stone age sect.

[canadatubeonly]

muslim men are impotent and they are afraid of their women , gynophobic men want women to be inside burka so stupid men can establish their superiority over them.

[harryhbennett]

Womens' clothing should be illegal !

[JISAJ]

They banned the balaclava...ban the burrka...Its a disgrace that these women are allowed to go around looking like

penguins. Its distasteful, deluded and

stupid...You can admire your God without

hiding your faces...its pathetic and smug.

You think you are making a noble statement...Never you are as vulnerable

as the rest of us women. Don't kid yourself.

[marys2020]

I happen to see the complete covering as a way of obliterating females. It doesn't have anything to do with modesty it's more of a way to make women invisible, you can't see me so I don't really exist.

Some women seem to do this as a choice.

Millions of others have no choice and you can't tell me they would all choose to do so.

When you can be beaten and arrested and raped for not wearing it the arguments fall flat.

[Q3ToPBuZz]

I couldn't give a shit what they wear.

What I do object to is firms being forced to change existing rules and dress code to accommodate them.

If say a company or organisation has specific dress rules, then these people need to decide whether they want to work for them and obey it or not.The company should not be forced to change.You are free to believe whatever you want in this country and Id defend your right to do so, but you must remember the UK isnt a Muslim state and respect works both ways

[alidaman1]

Far out that was so funny,

when should i laugh?

[uzbweirdo]

So you live in Australia, huh? Why infect secular developed countries, go home! PS. There's no god. Stop worrying and enjoy your life.

[alidaman1]

Yeah your right. We should stop worrying about people dying. Im not "worrying", im Concerned.

As for "infect".....

Go tell that to the Ashkenazi "Jews" (who are not really Jews by the way). Tell them to get their infection out of the Middle East and go back home to where they came from. They are originally from Georgia, near Russia and also from Europe.

And about being Australian, in your eyes, no matter what i am, native, anglo or whatever, i cant win can i?

[iamnicompoop]

It's hard to believe that this is the 21st century! I wonder how many more centuries will it take for all these iron age mythologies to disappear!

[shuja6666]

Jack Straw Media Publicity Stunt !

His mates Pooh Bear & Tigger put him up to it !

[nezbo8791]

muslim people are the most ignorant race on this planet.

[kurtf07]

I Agree.

[kisha2292]

لا خلينا الذكاء لك او لشعبك الاثول

[nezbo8791]

muslims ask for the ridiculas all the time. when england play and we have our flags up they ask for them to be taken down. if people have ornaments on there desks at work that are pigs they ask for them to be removed. if they are put up in free accomodation they have the goverment spend more money to change the way the toilet faces our have showers put in as they dont like to bath in there dirty water. if they dont like it then dont come here. dont come into another country and try to change it.

[kisha2292]

we ask for that because we have a point not like u u want to have dirty water because ur dirty

[simplynutter08]

thats a really pathetic and immature reply, and you are doing your religion no favours.

[msanchez007]

Do you guys really know why they were ordered to where the veil.

In the days of mohamed there was no bathroom nor toilets, thus mohameds wives had to take a dump in the woods, unfortunately there was a peeping tom called Hazrat Umor, who told mohamed "hey man, tell your women to cover, man, I can see their bootys" so mohamed said tha it has been ordered by allah to cover themselves.

Sounds like joke, right? But it's TRUE 100% check it out here faithfreedom org

[usersarah]

It's not true. This is the 1st time i hear about this story.

I don't support muslim women to wear veils anyway. People need to see facial expressions and they need to communicate with each other. I also disagree with wearing a veil for safety reasons.

Scarves are no threat because they reveal faces and I believe women have the right whether or nor wear it.

[msanchez007]

Are you kidding me, you've just commited a logical fallacy called argument from ingnorance, your premise is that since this is the 1st time your here it then it's not true. Go read it first then make your arguments.

[siddz18]

WHAT NONSENSE

[kisha2292]

get ur facts right then write they are all wrong. mohammed (pbuh) told us to cover up because he wanted the men to see the women for what they have inside not what she looks outside he wanted us to be respected not like u walking in the streets wearing miniskirts and tangtops what do u think people would think of that person

[msanchez007]

1st. Please read your "holy" book, find the 1st time mohammed ordered women to be covered.

2nd. It seems that you do it because of tradition, or because of fear of being recriminated from your family. That is why you do it.

NO WOMAN is happy wearing a burka, covering themselves from head to toes and only showing their eyes, face or worse not even their eyes.

There billions of women who don't wear mini skirts or tangtops, so don't use that as your argument.

[kisha2292]

1st i didnt look

2nd i didnt wear the my hijab for tradition and not feared by my family i wore it because it was something i had to do and is suppose todo from allah swt and by the way i wore my hijab late and so did my mother i wore it when i felt i could hold the responsibility of wearing it and knowing its true meaning and i am so happy wearing my hijab

i have many friends that wear burka and they are so happy wearing them

[sepbas]

then why didnt 'allah' create an extra layer of skin for females to cover up there bodies?

[alidaman1]

If your referring to the external part of the epidermis, that was actually created by God for different reasons. For example, as a waterproofing for the rest of your "body".

The skin is actually a part of the human body.

[sepbas]

so why cut it of? circumsition?

[howapel]

So that's Jack Straw, huh? All the way from Wichita!

[hijabiflower]

I think society needs to focus on solving problems of AIDS, Drugs, prostitution and illiteraccy as well as job shortages rather than on how women should be dressing

[betatalk357]

i wouldn't trust muslims with a 10 foot pole. First, that weirdo robes they wear hides their clothing so if they're eyewitnessed committing a crime, their faces and clothes are covered. Also, you don't know if they've got 20 lbs. of semtex hidden under there and I'd like to know if they're about to blow up something before even coming near me. Second, they look scary and have an evil demeanor wearing a veil. It looks like they got arrested for being a sex offender who is a voyeur.

[betatalk357]

Every time I see one, I am really fighting the urge to grab a knife or pencil, stab out both their eyes, and yell "STOP STARING AT ME, YOU DIRTY VOYEUR!!!" 

Also, people who wear this crap always ask for extreme privileges simply because of their "religious practices." One woman didn't want to take off her veil for her driver's license picture. DMV said off with the veil or NO driver's license. I agree: you're not going to get a license so your terrorist buddies can use it simply because

[betatalk357]

there's a veiled face on it. Also, when a police officer stops you and asks for your identity, it should be required to show your face to the officer not only to verify identity but to conduct a field sobriety test for motorists under the influence of alcohol or narcotics.

[brokenbriton]

Sort of makes all the CCTV cameras useless...

[bgibb101]

gobz11 - you may not want to vote for the BNP, but at least they are standing up and speaking out against the outrages that are happening in the UK. Labour, the Tories and the Lib-Dems are slaves to political correctness while the country continues to sink under the weight of 300,000 immigrants a year, Islamofascism, and tons of asylum seekers - many of them bogus. Every single vote for the BNP send the other parties the message that they have lost the confidence of the British people.

[mmartini50]

Every young woman who wants to wear a hijab in this country is of course at liberty to do so (unless it's while teaching young kids). However, if that 23 year old girl was suddenly transported to Saudi, where she would be 'required' to wear her hijab and only be allowed to drive a car if a man (a wonderful, superior man) accompanies her, she'd soon change her tune. She has the luxury of choice here, let's have it right.

[janosik150]

ISLAM IS SICK

type - investigateislam on youtube

[bgibb101]

Vote BNP.

[gobz11]

I never thought I would think about that... but the last few years, it is becoming a growing possibility... although I certainly do not want to vote for a bunch of thugs.

[transpastic]

the bnp are severly retarded

[pfalky2k]

i take no stance in the christian vs islam bickering (since i belong to neither) but i do find laughable a politician talking of wanting to see as well as hear honesty. we all know politicians are incapable of uttering the truth.

[daneshmand1976]

What is wrong with you British haters? What are you so afraid of? What harm do these few women in your country do to you? You imperialist colonizers fucked over the whole Middle East, Caribbean, Africa and India, exploited their peoples and now you have a big mouth? Unbelievable! What do you guys think your power and wealth derives from? Colonization and Slavery! It's a shame I'm a Canadian living still under the Queen. You all should chill out for now and shut the fuck up.

[mrpennyo]

Well maybe if you leave Canada and lived in any Arabic country, then you will understand. You will see how these women are really treated. Go see how evil Islam is toward Christians, Jews, and non-believers. When a women dresses in veil then they are agreeing with the evilness in Islam.

[daneshmand1976]

1. I lived in Lebanon 1 year, 2 years Iran, and couple month Syria, so don't tell me any stupid bullshit you have no idea about. Oppression in any country towards women derives from cultural patriarchic paradigms. 2. You did not refer to my comment at all. This video is about how British treat Muslim Women. Think about that for a minute and educate yourse;f about other peoples history and culture before you talk.

[mrpennyo]

What stupid bullshit??? Did you see any Christian Churches in Iran???? Did you go visit them and ask how they are treated???? Did you see any Jewish Organization or temples???? Did you ask how they are living in these countries????? You gotta go deeper in those countries. Did you see a single woman in Iran not wearing a Hijab???? The Islamic world wants to hide their evilness from the rest of the world. Go back and go deeper next time.

[mrpennyo]

In America, I went to a Church and told them I am a Muslim. They welcomed me with open arms. Go to any Mosques in Lebanon, Syria, or Iran. Tell them that you are a Christian. See for yourself if they will invite you with open arms. Before you do that, make sure you have a tombstone prepared for you.

[millwallfclions2007]

THIS IS ENGLAND NOT A FUCKING 3TH WORLD BACKWARD CUNT CONUTRY.

fuck muslims

VOTE BNP

[tempac91]

mrpennyo

Non-muslims are treated as SECOND CLASS citizens in islamic states.

[VonHelton]

Google "Moon God of Islam". Go to Google Images & put in "Grand Mufti & Hitler". Learn the truth, Muslims! Leave Islam the Cult of Death! BE FREE!

:/

[freedomLeaver]

We should follow the free Netherlands example and start banning the Islamic veil.

[7ridout]

fucking kick the paki bastards out

[transpastic]

retard

[lilorooon]

Asking a lady to remove her veil is no different to asking someone to remove their hat. It's common courtesy. Im sick of the fucked up PC in this country. There is no need for women to walk around with their faces covered up and its downright rude. Being allowed to continue wearing it gives them a sense of "Im better than you!" You wanna be british? Well you can damned well behave it

[bnp3rdmay]

Muslims come to the UK because it has been made known that they can get away with what they like.They use their religion to gain a council or housing association house as it against their religion to have a mortgage.They claim benefits for looking after their older relatives because their religion does not let other than a family member do it....WAKE UP TO THIS SCUM!!!

[bnp3rdmay]

[JGlavicic]

Jack is rigth, if the muslims come to seek refuge from opression in their countries they should adopt customs of the host country not try to impose their stupid laws they run away in the first place. The terrorists are the ones oposing open face because it takes their ability to hide in woman clothes and carry terrorist attacks more easily without preventive detection

[danielnz1]

Be proud and modest from head to toe

if that's your culture and happiness shows.

But, why veil that smile from all but a clan!

When, smiles are natural, in Nature's plan,

reassuring fair-play to our fellow-man.

[jamesjohansen]

half a mile from tucson?

[7ridout]

veils should be banned. if someone wearing one commited a crime, how could they be identified?

[lilorooon]

I was asked to remove my hood in Blackburn Tesco's. I would of been kicked out had I refused. Hoodies are also banned in some shopping centres!!

[dahiya1]

Well I don't know how did ya compare a religious tradition (Women veil , Sikh turban) with motorbike helmet , there is a bad analogy here

[DuctTapeMyFace]

I was asked to take off my trilby hat or leave in a pub the other week, as i could not be properly identified on their camera's. Equal rights?

[crissyfrog]

A muslim woman knocked on my front door the other day,I never opened the door I spoke to her through the letterbox, see how see fuckin likes it!!

[mikehuntusa]

when you are a guest in someones home or in someones land as the case may be you abide by their rules. that's how society works. civilized society at least. feel for you brits, it's not like this in the u.s. (yet.)

[doctist]

the answer for all your questions is in the quran and prophet sunnah (hadits), get the answer right know, and you will shut your pie hole up!

[DuctTapeMyFace]

how will you know whether the pie hole is shut?

[mucalinda]

the Quran also tells men to beat their wives. See 'Islam and wife beating' sites on YouTube. Do the muslim women in this video also agree that they should be beaten because the Quran says so.

[Khonia]

Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all)

[Khonia]

Please do a little more research from the original sources before you speak :) It obviously makes sense to (lightly) beat them if they have been cheating on you...And yes, we do agree, because there is a purpose behind it. Al Quran al-Kareem is a book that brings forth guidance, logic, and Justice :) Allahu Akbar!

[jq3104]

should send all ninjas back to japan

[AcrobaticSpunk]

I am so offended when I see Muslim women covering their hair and/or faces. I find it hard to communicate with them.

I do however have no problem whatsoever in dealing with Punk/Emo type goths with black make-up all over their face and facial piercings - so many that it is hard to see the structure of their face.

Open your minds.

Its funny how there was no natinal debate over goths not wanting to 'intergrate' with society as such.

[DuctTapeMyFace]

that is just simple minded logic without any knowledge or understanding of any of the related issues.

[JESUSISLORDAMEN]

THEY IS NO SUCH THING AS AN "ATHEIST"

[princesszin]

hi, not to offend anyone, but this video is crap (i'm an atheist by the way)

andrea

[markdask]

Newbrew demonstrates exactly why public sanitation is essential. Such extraordinary malice deserve's to end up in the public sewege system.

[markdask]

This is a setup. I've sincerely commented on the past three comments re this video - and now you are asking me to address an infection called Newbrew? Nobody thinks like this - Newbrew is not a person - but an embarrassment to all living entities.

[newbrew]

They should end NHS now. Then when one of these satan/idol worshiping muslim idiots won't take off their veil, the doctor can say "fine, get out and go see the crappier doctor". When they realize they are pushed to the low end of the totem pole, perhaps they'll also then realize they'll take the time to read about the child molesting, Jew and Christian slaughtering scum Muhammad and his black rock pagan god allah they follow.

[JESUSISLORDAMEN]

I should add that everyone is born condemned but the Lord God saves out of sin and wickedness some people, and makes them His children. If you don't know Him you can seek the Lord Jesus Christ with all your heart until you find Him. Religion about Him is no good.

[markdask]

Are you stoned? Jesus is one of Islam's most respected Prophets, so while you are trying to SAVE Muslims, you are actually sending Jesus down the pan, along with whatever else you're on. Salaam a le cum. (I'm Irish Catholic, by the way).

[JesusIsAProphet]

Recent scientific developments prove the human brain is pre-programmed to believe in God. This is 100% in agreement with Islamic belief that All People are born as "Servants of God" (i.e. Muslims) and only change with time. Doesn't jive with your belief that we're all born evil. Peace to you.

[Cupit29]

What scientific developments? By whom? What experiments were performed? Where and what is the evidence?

[JesusIsAProphet]

Andrew Newberg and Michael Persinger are two neuroscientists who have conducted experiments on the human brain. Both have concluded that the brain is pre-wired to have religious experiences (i.e. belief in God).  They may say that this is proof that there really is no God and we just believe it because our brains make us believe it - but that begs the question, what is the evolutionary advantage to this?

[JesusIsAProphet]

When thy Lord drew forth from the Children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves, (saying): "Am I not your Lord (who cherishes and sustains you)?"- They said: "Yea! We do testify!" (This), lest ye should say on the Day of Judgment: "Of this we were never mindful":

Quran 7:172

[JesusIsAProphet]

I personally don't see any evolutionary advantage to this aspect of our brains, however I do see religious advantage. God took a covenant with our souls that we would believe in Him and worship Him. It is only fitting that He should make our bodies capable of remembering our covenant with Him.

w/Peace.

[GraceofGod758]

A woman's face is NOT A VAGINA.

[markdask]

Ouch man -you're rude. Try joining up sentences - then maybe you can make your point.

[GraceofGod758]

My point was made, a little harshly, but made. "Rude" is covering up your face when everyone else's face is uncovered. By the way, few are better at stringing sentences together than I. Sometimes a strong point can be made with just a few words. What IS that, anyway? Are you the Point-Making Police? Am I gonna get a grade at the end of the semester?

[markdask]

Ouch again man - so you concede harsh - so I'll concede point made. I will also give you full marks :- on your opinion that the veil is rude. By the way - aint it cute how a small voice like mine got you to display your intelligence? I'll make one small point if I may, Mr Kong - the very people who would be constructively influenced by your worthy intelligence are the ver people you offend. End of semester

[eon14873]

if i lived in blackburn i would go into a muslim shop in a balaclava with only eye holes and see how they react. they should respect our country or fuck off to the desert

[markdask]

A bit strong in your language but hey, point made. A person in a balaclava is trying to be anonymous - a woman similarly dressed in our society is saying the same thing. Some say its part of Mohammed's teaching - actually it is not, according to the Muslim men and women I know. Cover your face and disguise your sincerity. So says Jack Straw, and so say I.
