I don't agree that Muslim women should even be asked if they take off their veil, its part of their religion, its not like somebody wearing a motorcylce helmet like people keep comparing it to, because its part of what they believe in and part of their lifestyle.

its not the fact thats the bicycle helmet is religion, its the fact that the helmet covers the face. the veil covers the face.... thus presenting a security threat in places such as banks...

It's become such a big issue when in reality it really is causing no-one any harm, but Jack Straw should respect people's beliefs and choices instead of suggesting they change their values for his happiness and comfort. It's stupid to say Britain accepts cultures and we're multicultural and what not when the majority of society feel so strongly against something so trivial as the veil.

multiculturalism will only work if both cultures are prepared to negotiate and compromise IMO.

People keep saying 'they've come to OUR country, THEY should adapt to US' but then that's just going against any form of multiculturalism altogether.

if we go to THEIR country WE have to adapt to THEM... e.g. not wearing swimming costumes in public etc etc... i personally would hate having to be fully clothed in sweltering heat, but would comply because its their country. much like i feel people with veils should comply in this country.

As someone said before its a minority of Muslim women who choose to wear the veil, the majority wear hijab which is the head scarf which covers the hair and shoulder region. So I don't think it should have been dramatised as much as it has.

everything is dramatised now days... the pope referenced some ancient text saying something about islam and violence, so 7 churches get burned down and a nun gets killed.... very unviolent
