Is Mise,

And if Muslim women are targeted because of what they wear, what might be their response in relation to Islam ? Alternatively, what might be their response if nobody much cares what they wear one way or another ?

While my sympathy goes to the families of those dead and to the injured, I find it ironic that the terrorist in London was to give a speech to a gathering called Learning together. The conference was about rehabilitating prisoners. Well they did learn something that day!

They learnt that prisoners should serve their full sentence and that the west should stop allowing in muslim immigrants and refugees. Also something about multiculturalism and diversity. Aspects of culture that we find alien are impossible to change, especially those that can be hidden, like hatred, under age marriage and FGM.

At some future point we are going to see the need to stop muslims from coming here. The risk to our community is too great.

ise mise we agree!
true and a disgrace, see I think the faith [most faiths] but this one the worst, wants to demote women
And while wondering how the pure hate for every Muslim turned up here share this
Multiculturalism is not better than integration
IT is the reason world wide racism is on the march
And a future time will come that sees a demand, for at least some integration
Even [sadly maybe post terrorist acts] selective immigration may return

Joe,

As far as I'm concerned Muslim women can wear what they want, except masks; wearing masks goes against most Western ideas of dress (except for special occasions).
It is notable that all over the world Islam is pushing the forms of dress that their men (not all) mandate for their women to wear.

Belly,

Integration may be a slow process of social interaction, over a generation or two, but it's probably happening faster than you think. And probably more with women (girls) than with men (boys). Watch the kids coming out of high school these days, who they mix with.

But surely it's racist to attack women for what they're wearing ? How will that help integration ?

Joe

ise mise I share your view again, let's face it some countrys far from racists have banned such clothing
Leave, for a second religious rights and practice out of it
Why mark difference
Why do SOME wear it [and they do] to express a difference
In all things compromise is often the best outcome
And one day we will not see this type of clothing in use in the west
