It's just people can't express themselves like they would like to as it would cause public outrage and upset as there's too many fuckin do gooders in the country!
Better policies in the country are needed regarding immagration thats for sure, i've seen some shocking footage of people coming in over our borders on TV, really is depressing!
Anyhow, back on topic, I think Jack Straw has a very valid point and is right to speak his mind
RAN, care to enlighten me as to why sikh's wear turbans? (honest question as I have NO idea!
)Dan i agree totally as regards the laws on imigration mate they are far too loose! but anyway back on topic.

This ones gettin messy but i'm gonna throw in another 2 pence worth,
Its a case of whats good for the goose should be good for the gander
I can't believe how long it took them to arrest and get rid of that cunt with the hook hand abu hamza, who was inciting hatred towards other ethnic/religeous groups, and doing it in my back yard fuckin frustrating,
if a white person dressed up like a nazi and started shouting white power etc etc i fuckin bet it wouldn't take long for them to get arrested

Dan - sikhs wear turbans as they do not cut their hair and thus have it tied into a knot at the top of the head. The turban is placed on top to cover the hair. The turban (and in essence the long hair) represents one of the 5 "k"s that symbolises sikhism.
Asking to remove the turban is seen as an insult and forcing someone to do it will cause a massive shit storm.

I was young at the time of the IRA problems british people were having so i cannot comment to much on how we or they were percieved here or in Ireland....What i know is what is happening now and how it makes me feel.
I shall not comment again as i do have some respect and this certainly isnt the place to be doing it but ...
This IS my country, I AM entitled to my view, and YES i am a woman with an opinion when it comes to protecting my children.
Enough said and I dont mean to offend any one person only the belief that to mindlessly slaughter inoccent men, women and children in this country CANNOT be tollerated and i dont give a dogs dangley what nationality or religious belief that may be but seems to me that at this present time its a Muslim one.

I dont know about anyone else, but I can just feel the tension whenever this sort of thing is mentioned on the news or in the press and I feel its just going to kick off big time shortly.
People are just fed up with it.
And a lot of the people who are fed up are just angry, they arent racists, they are fed up with whats going on in this country at the moment, but its all too easy to brand them racists because they are unhappy and prepared to speak out about what they see as an injustice.

This country is full now. We should now shut the gates on immigratrion, we're packed to the gunnels. If anyone takes that as racist, that's up to you but that's how I see it and I doubt very much I'm alone in that view.

But at the same time I do agree that (particularly) the muslim community can be quite insular and that many more extreme/radical muslims may well have a private agenda which may not be good for the rest of the country.
as far as Jack Straw's comments go, from what I've heard/read he is only asking them to consider showing their face.. it's by no means being forced upon the ladies in question, and so is up to them. I find the hijab somewhat unnerving personally, but I can respect the beliefs of the people who feel they want to wear them too.

I was listening to Jermmy Vine yesterday and they had someone on there, Simon rushdee (sp) And he was soooooooooo right saying we should not pander to extremists veiws as it would only get worse. Take the Cartoons that was printed! who the hell are they to say what we can and cannot print! it should have been printed everywhere. Now because of that they will feel they have won and cause more agro.
Neilm i totally agree also, the way things are going its all going to flare up big time soon

Totally agree with Neil we are seeing the results of years of left wing politically correct dogooders who have eroded our National Identity and turned our country into a joke!
Muslims DO have an agenda, they DO NOT want to integrate into our society and yes I AM tarring them all with the same brush and until they put their own house in order I will continue to have the same generalised view

I think it's a typical case of give and take.
As Rich says there's no rules against wearing viels. However Jack Straw has explained his problems with viels and admire that.
Now what we should have hear is some common respect and understanding but like a lot of other tales in this area peoples guards are going up.
We need to respect peoples religous views, after all it's their right, however at the same time people (including ourselves) need to respect our nationalities fundemental social backgrounds. So in some respects that may come back to how we dress, speak and communicate.
The goes for spitting on the floor and swearing in public as much as it goes for wearing viels or not being able to walk through metal detectors.

I was seeing a Muslim girl for 18 months till recently and at her mosque they are told they should only mix with white people at work, have no white friends and spend money only in asian shops and socialise amongst themselves. They all send their money back 'home' to relatives and even force the girls to marry men from 'home' so they can get passports.
I have a pretty good insight into that particular community, I know there are many different strains of Muslims and each mosque may practise a slightly dirrerent strain of the religion.
But i KNOW what happend in that Mosque and it makes my blood fucking boil. Why should we up with that behaviour in our country. Nobody on here can justify that.

Yeah Matt I do agree these integration and Mosque issues do need to be addressed by these communities.
Just seems the climate at the moment is going to make that harder than ever.

According to the Radio 1 text poll, 99% of the listeners agree with Jack Straw.
I do think that if we have to abide by their beliefs in their countries then they should do the same here with our beliefs

Got to a lot of middle eastern countries, and it will probably be a single faith based society, or at least based around religionjs of a similar belief.
This country? You really think, in 2006, this is a still a Christian country, that has a faith by which most people should abide? We are mutli-cultural, and all the better for it, so we are in the position to be more accepting of others.
The point that people have made that is valid, is that we have no problem accepting other religions and faiths, but it is when those people use our acceptance againist us, that is what pisses people off.
Unfortunately, there is also a large undercurrent of ignorant lower and middle class scum in this country, who just want to, and I quote, "ban the little paki in the body dress".
What surprises me the most though, is why people are shocked that other religions often don't want to integrate. If you got shouted, taunted, and abused for wearing a veil, turban, or other such piece of religious dress, would you want to spend time around people who did that?

This has been a MASSIVE issue for our revenue protection team at work. The be all and end all is that if someone is wearing a vale, regardless of their skin colour or religion, then that is their choice, and we are NOT allowed to challange them to see if the photo on a pass is a "good likeness" to the holder behind the vale - as if we did, then we would be called racist and abusive for doing what in retrospect, is our jobs and carrying out our duties. - fucking glad i'm going driving
The whole thing stinks to high heavan, but its the way it is.
However, I aggree with Jack Straw about the whole situation of vale removal for communication purposes - I find it difficult to speak to someone who's mouth is covered for one reason or another, as my periferal hearing is shite so I have to lipread. Anyone who knows me will tell you that unless I look at them when in conversation, then I will not hear what they are saying, even tho my hearing is clear as a bell
On a lighter note - A good reason for keeping the vale on is the fact that some people appear to brush their teeth with dogshit - the vale stops unwanted smells escaping

FFS!
some of you seem to easily use the words refugee and im sure your freely using it towards anyone who is not white.
those people who live here and still talk shit about killing british like that uptight mislead one hand guy then yeah, he needs to fuck of coz he's makin a big fool of hmself livin here and talkin shit about it.
but its not really about what colour or national someone is, as long as they are a positive fair person not sitin on their arse all their lives claiming of tax payers. the way i see it is as long as your makin progress and a good decent citizen then it should'nt matter what race you are.

I agree with Jack Straws reasoning..I like to see somebodys face when I talk to them..(as Graceland says because I can't hear for shit..especially if somebody has any sort of accent)..that's nothing against their culture/religion..
If I went somewhere that was a religious country etc that wanted women to wear veils..I would wear one just to respect their way of life..the same way you cover your shoulders at the Vatican..to respect the beliefs of those people..
I'm totally in support of the wearing of headscarves/turbans or the covering of arms/legs/anything else..except the face..that's whether some is wearing a veil, a balaclarva (sp?) or a cycling helmet..nothing to do with race/beliefs..just being able to see who you are talking to...

But they shouldnt therefore be allowed on a motorcycle as it is an OFFENSE to not wear a helmet in this country!

Stop looking for an excuse to discriminate against someone. Grow some balls, and just come out and say you don't like people wearing alternative clothing!

Just to point out that being 'anti-Muslim' is not rascist. Islam is a religion and is followed by many races.
Former Yugoslavia experienced Ethnic cleansing in the 90's and it was a direct result of feeling they had no other option - It sound sawful to say it but the Muslim communities had expanded to such an extenet that they were exploiting policy through their numbers.
In an episode of Panorama I saw last summer they quoted some Muslim chap as saying that Islam was a serious attempt at world domination not unlike Communism or Fascism. Empires are conquered from within and through numbers.
I for one see a major storm on the Horizon.
