Comment on Tory MP Philip Hollobone May Face Criminal Prosecution Over De-Veiling Request by David.

Why resort to lowering the tone of the discussion by suggesting Caleb is a Muslim from Iraq and as an Iraqi Muslim shouldn’t be living in England?

You sound like a typical BNP voter!

Since Caleb’s my 13 year old son who I recently gave this website to (he’s more interested in politics than I am!) I’m reasonably confident he’s never been to Iraq (certainly not born there, as he was born in East Sussex) and isn’t Muslim (not that that would be an issue for me).

He’s one of the majority of the tolerant British born people who make this country such a great place to live.

I disagree with anyone being forced to wear anything for religious reasons, but if a society bans something like the Burka when there are women who CHOOSE to wear it, it makes that society no better than those who force women into wearing such an item.

Please explain how forcing a woman not to wear a Burka is better/different than forcing a woman to wear a Burka?
