Must not criticize Muslim garb
From Australia:
"A Brisbane radio station may have to explain why it should keep its licence after an announcer was accused of making anti-Islamic comments. Former Victorian police officer, now 4BC drive-time announcer, Michael Smith called for Muslim women who wear an Islamic hijab in public to be fined for offensive behaviour. He made the remarks on-air and on the 4BC website, saying: "Any reasonable person would find this offensive."
Islamic Council of Queensland president Suliman Sabdia said Mr Smith's remarks amounted to "a clear case of intolerance".
Under the Commercial Radio Code of Practice, a licensee must not broadcast a program likely to incite hatred against or vilify any person or group on the basis of age, ethnicity, nationality, race, gender, sexual preference, religion, or disability. Christine Donnelly from the Australian Communications and Media Authority said Mr Smith's comments could be a breach of the Code of Practice. 4BC general manager David McDonald said Mr Smith's remarks were not intended to be anti-religion or anti-Muslim.

"a clear case of intolerance" - yeah right, the muslims are so tolerant of western women's dress and western cultural norms, like freedom of expression and press freedom - pictures of pigs and dogs, etc.
Some civilised countries are working to ban those things as they're clear signs of the enslavement of women in Muslim families.
I'm not quite comfortable with banning any style of clothing, just as I'm not at all comfortable with requiring any (style of) clothing (once you start, where does it stop), but they do have a point.
Hate speech IS free speech.
I have the righ to be as intolerant as I want.
THAT is true freedom!
It would appear that Australia will be taken over by muslims even faster than Britain!
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!!
I wonder if some of those burqa wearing babes go commando?
EEEEEWWWWWWWW !!!
