Ban on 'Burka' in Public

DEN HAAG - The tweede kamer (house of commons) has agreed with politician Geert Wilders that there must be a ban on muslim women wearing burkas in public.
A burka is an islamic dress where only the eyes can be seen. The reason is because women that wear these things can never integrate into Dutch society.

The British goverment would never have the balls to impose a ban like that, go dutchies go...

 

No, but they'd consider a ban on anyone wearing an England football shirt, or displaying the English flag

 

Why are you interfering with the free expression of religion?

 

I'm not. I just thought it might be an interesting topic. It in no way reflects my own views, I'm just a reporting service.

 

I meant the Dutch.

 

All religion is the worse man-made invention ever created.
Religion is for people who can't think for themselves who
need a bible to do the thinking for them. imo.

Arrogant words I know, but thats how I feel about religion.!

 

Couldnt have put it better myself !

 

Exactly, shows what a joke of a country we live in when displaying the national flag is almost classed as being racist.

 

For those who don't know this is the flag, btw

 

In the Netherlands there already was a school that banned people who wear the Dutch flag on their clothes.

 

Here is the newsarticle about the Dutch flag case, with a photo of the lads and their flag.

About a year ago I was also banned at a big party, because I had a red, white and blue stripe on my polo. It wasn't even a flag, but the colored bouncer said so, and told me I could not come in

 

It's sort of the same with our British flag too,
kids are not allowed to display it on their school sports clothes
as it's Englishness, could cause offence.

 

Those things remind me of the KKK.

 

What things.?

 

Burkas is assume...

 

What about the Union Jack? is that one the 'correct' flag?

 

Yes, that one represents us all as England which includes Wales,
Scotland, Ireland, The Union Jack has a long interesting history
but I won't bore anyone about it here. LOL

The British/English day for the UK is 23rd April, St Georges day,
with St Georges flag, (red cross, white background).
Although, to be honest the patron Saint of Ireland, St Patrick
is probably celebrated more in the UK today than St George.

 

The thing I don't get is why during the Olympics for example it's Great Britain, but during football it's England.

And what do you think of the 'new' Union Jack?
