I don’t know if I would like to have gotten Diana’s engagement ring as she has! As I am supersticious it would worry me!
Hmmm a car crash waiting to happen, methinks.

maybe that explains sam dingle :DCosy -I was Christened into the C of E. My family never went to Church but my education was always Assemblys, with hymns and a bible reading.
It was there for me from the moment I went to school aged 5.
One day, I picked up and started to read the Bible – it was just pure incest!
Now being only 37, I understand about the theory of evolution – but schools do not teach that.
Do I believe in Adam and Eve?
No but I believe there is a higher authority.

I would run after you but won’t – not sure if it’s because I am a lazy, fat, bamboo filled panda or whether the thought of falling flat on my face and ruining my good looks fills me with horror. :D

Would you be able to see a dagger, a machine gun or a suicide belt under a Burkha?
All of the above could be concealed in many ways other than the burkah, would you suspect what appeared to be a heavily pregnant woman with a loose fitting dress, or a nun or priest with their long frocks? The more we consider this, the more we can see it is fear mongering and perhaps Islamaphobic.
Gaz, you said in an earlier post:
The burkah is strictly a personal choice of dress, a tradition, it is NOT a requirement in their “ holy book “.
So the Burkha is not actually required to be worn by muslim women?
So how is my post being Islamaphobic?
Yes, of course all the above can be used to conceal these items but is a muslim suicide bomber, determined to blow up people in the name of “Allah” likely to sway from their religion and dress as a nun, priest or heavily pregnant woman?

If we all wanted to voice what made us feel “insecure” and “unsafe” good god we’d be here forever…… but in essence of this thread my personal preference and how I “feel”… I would much rather sit next to someone wearing a burkah then someone carrying a dagger.
Would you be able to see a dagger, a machine gun or a suicide belt under a Burkha?

As a ficticious politican once said,
“You might well think that. I couldn’t possibly comment.”
Well I could but I’m not going to as my halo has been restored and I have a reputation as a role model to maintain. :D

ty cosy – not really been away but been a bit busy doing other things.
Too often race and religion get confused.
Some like to assume that brown skin people are more likely to be muslims, hindus, or even sikh as many sikh where I live no longer wear a turban.
The other assumption is that if you are white, you are Christian.
Ummmm, so not true!
You only need look at the 7 / 7 bombers – Jermaine Lindsay, one of the bombers was Jamaican, and Jamaica is known for being Christian.
There are brown and white muslims in the World as well as many black muslims – look at Somalia.
Likewise, there are many white, brown and black Christians.
The problem in this country is people are ignorant of the religious make up of the World, and I include myself in that.
One thing I have learnt is that you cannot look at someone and assume that because they are a certain colour then they must be a certain religion.
Also, people often get accused of being racist when they criticise a religion – for instance if you criticise Islam and sharia law you may be called a racist.
But you’re not – Islam is a religion not a race of people! Anyone can become a muslim but no one can change their race! And that’s the same for any religion.
It’s about time that do gooders understood the differentiation.
Now I am mixed race but I do think things are taken too far and only alienate the indigineous population. Not letting a white kid have beads or dreads is one such example although I hasten to add, it’s a hairstyle that doesn’t suit white or brown skins and non afro hair IMHO.
However, the choice should be there.
I for one having been born here am fed up of treading on eggshells for fear of upsetting someone and it’s the do gooders seeking to improve things that have caused that and in doing so, have just caused more resentment.
As for the Burkha – banning it is just going to cause unnecessary resentment although in Muslims countries, westerners have to abide by the dress code so if it is banned, then those that wear it should abide by the rules or move to a country where it is permitted.
In addition, I think people tend to believe too much of the press when it villifies Islam – I work with a lot of Muslims both male and female and young and old and they are certainly nothing like the press makes them out to be. Why, they even have a sense of humour!
