The burka ban is not an example of the rejection of multiculturalism and it is stupid to suggest that it is. It is something that has come about due to Muslims failing to live by the rules and laws of the country they have decided to settle in.

Recently a British man in Saudi Arabia was jailed because he was caught walking along a beach holding hands with his girlfriend! I mean they were not having sex in the open; they were holding hands but it’s against the laws of the country and we are expected to abide by them. So why is it so different when Muslims are living in our countries? What makes them think they are so special that they can do whatever they like and get away with it?

I can’t walk into a bank in the UK with a full face crash helmet and yet these people think they can walk about covered from head to foot. There is nothing in the Koran which states that women have to wear these garments.
