Hijab ban gets some support

Australian retailers' organization backs radio jock over hijab ban
"A Brisbane radio announcer's controversial call for a ban on the wearing of Islamic hijabs has been backed by the Retailers Association. The peak national body has called for all hijabs, helmets and hoodies to be banned in shops and banks for security purposes.

Brisbane radio presenter Michael Smith angered listeners after calling for Muslim women who wear a hijab to be fined. The 4BC drive presenter, a former Victorian policeman, said on Wednesday that wearing the hijab or burka posed a security risk because it obscured the face, making it difficult to identify the wearer in the instance of a crime.

Smith said it should be made an offence.

Western women are not allowed to wear their normal Western dress in many Muslim countries so it is hard to see why it is unfair to ban Muslim dress in Western countries.

Can't ID a person wearing a hijab. In the middle east they are already using them to hide wanted men and bombs. It's only a matter of time before they are used here to rob a bank.

In several American states, muslim females applying for drivers licenses were told they had to remove their head dress for the photo. They refused and sued in Federal Court, sighting religious discrimination. THEY LOST!! This proves that sanity is not yet politically incorrect. Not yet anyway.

"Ahh, but you see, there is this double-standard concept called "Political Correctness" which means that Muslims have the right to whatever they want and non-Muslims cannot. Fear the day when this sarcasm becomes reality...."

And that day is drawing closer and closer.

There is one positive thing about the hajib and especially the burqa....

Those garments hide the Muslim babes moustaches and hairy legs!
