Jusoda Kid 1 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 http://express.lineone.net/news_detail.html?sku=735 Holland to ban the veil 18/11/06 By Marco Giannangell HOLLAND took a step closer to becoming the first EU country to ban the veil last night. Proposals to prevent Muslim women wearing the niqab in public places were backed by the cabinet. If the law is passed, the veil will be outlawed in the street, on trains and buses, and in schools and law courts. Other face coverings, including helmets with full visors, would also be banned. Ministers were said to have formally approved the plan last night, after an expert committee judged it would be legal. Civil rights and Muslim groups accused ministers of “over-reacting to a marginal problem”. But immigration minister Rita Verdonk said wearing veils in public is undesirable “for reasons of public order, security and protection of citizens”.

Jimbo 172 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 In my opinion, other resident cultures should adapt to ours, not the other way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 It isn't strictly a religious law either is it? I saw some muslim women skating at the ice rink in the full garb. They were good skaters as well, but they looked like ninjas the way they were moving. I'm also of the opinion that other cultures shouldn't be brought into the country. It's becoming a joke that my local chronicle is now being published in polish because of the current influx of poles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc-mag 1 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 There has to be a third way, shirley. Some of these girls might be red hot tbh. They should be unveiled instantly. Then we could veil a few of the munters who insist on walking round town in next to nowt to make sure the balance is maintained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44254 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 What really boils my piss is things like this: If you can't read/speak English you shouldn't be here. I was in Holland last week and everywhere I went there were signs in English as well as Dutch, and the announcements on the trains were all in English. I get what you're saying, but I wouldn't have had a fucking clue what I was doing last week without that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10682 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 does this mean you can't wear a balaclava in Holland? I undestand both sides of the fence here, but have to say that I personally feel utterly unable to get past that barrier. If a girl is wearing that uniform (for the want of a better word) I wouldn't know how to begin a conversation. it's the same with men who wear strict muslim attire. It's another way that they segregate themselves from out society and inthat regard I have to agree with some sentiments on here. It's a western country with a western culture, they should bend to it, as we do for their country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
