Belly,

"Why do SOME wear it [and they do] to express a difference"

Because that's what they're used to. So what if it's different ? Indian women often wear saris, older Greek women often wear black, are you going to ban that too ?

in light of the anti infidel murders this weekend maybe the title of this thread should be 'anti infidel violence'. The abc could run a special on it.

Judging on the theories presented here, and in view of a sudden decline in interest in Christianity, a simple solution to the problem of public security brought on by an Islamist view that all that are not Islamists are infidels, and thus must be killed, then convert to Islam.
Problem solved.
There is a historical context to this idea. There is a precedent.

Joe,

"Because that's what they're used to. So what if it's different? Indian women often wear saris, older Greek women often wear black, are you going to ban that too ?"

But they don't wear masks.

My Muslim mate in India has forbidden the wearing of full covering dress on his estates and consequently, not wearing it has spilt over into neighbouring areas; his wives, when they were younger, used to wear veils but don't wear them these days.
I was considered family so I saw them unveiled and was even, on rare occasions left alone with them; I once remarked to him that I appreciated the trust that he had in me.

He laughed and said, "I don't necessarily trust you, mate, I trust my wives, besides each of them, has a knife and has been taught how to use it".

Indian women often wear saris, older Greek women often wear black, are you going to ban that too ?
loudmouth2,
I wasn't aware that older Greek & Indian women suggest we should become Muslims or be killed ? Or, are you just being silly out of frustration ?

That London Bridge stabber moron seemed to have a serious DNA conflict.
