Paul and Dave: What you don’t grasp is this: Acceptance of the burqa in Western societies, and protected by Western law as a form of “religious freedom,” is a concession to stealth jihad. Acceptance of the burqa means acceptance of Sharia law, or Islamic jurisprudence and “custom.” So, it isn’t just a matter of some hare-brained woman’s alleged “right” to wear it in public. Sharia law and Western concepts of rights cannot coexist; one must defer to the other. They are antithetical. Islamists full well know this and exploit it to the maximum; most of our politicians do not know it or evade the knowledge. They are beholden to multiculturalism and dare not make distinctions between Western and Islamic ideas. Banning the burqa, however, is a feeble means of addressing the philosophical conflict between Western culture and the non-culture of Islam. Banning minarets and burqas and wife-beating and honor killings is not challenging a brutal, Dark Age political/religious system root and branch. Islam’s anti-life morality must be exposed and repudiated and tossed into the dustbin of history.
