Veil row continues in UK
2006-10-15
AoS note: do NOT, repeat do NOT, embed href tags in the source line. Just the straight URL, no ups, no extras.
A MUSLIM teaching assistant suspended for wearing a veil in school said the garment had never been a problem for pupils at the Heathfield Church of England Junior School in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. Aishah Azmi said to BBC radio that pupils had "never complained" and said there had never been an issue about children having difficulty in understanding her talk through the garment.
Council sez kids complained, someone posted that some of the kids were deaf and need to see the lips move
She said many of the pupils at the school were Muslim and would have been used to seeing their mothers wearing the veil.
Many are from Non English Speaking Backgrounds. NESB kids need extra plain and simple English lessons including watching the lips move
The BBC said Kirkless Council had asked her to take off her veil in class, but she told the Today program she disputed their version of events.
well she would, wouldn't she? She'd lose otherwise
Ms Azmi said she had always been willing to take her veil off in front of children, but had refused to do so in the presence of male colleagues. A employment tribunal will consider the case.

The issue of Muslim women wearing veils was thrust into the spotlight last week when Jack Straw said Muslim women who wore full veils made community relations difficult. He said he would prefer that women did not wear them because they acted as a "visible statement of separation and difference."
All of us non-Muzzies would prefer it really. And when was the last time any of us were asked whether we wanted a big importation of Muslims? Where was the democratic choice there? Where was the referendum on changing our society? Was our culture so bad it needed changing? That's social engineering and we weren't asked.
Today about 100 Muslim protesters shouted at Straw, a former foreign secretary and now leader of the house, as he arrived to hold a surgery at his constituency in Blackburn, Lancashire.
Jack Straw for PM!

#17  "F**k you Muzzies and the jackasses you rode in on."

Let's get one thing perfectly clear. It's camels, SpecOp35. Not jackasses, camels. Jackasses are what Muslims make out of themselves.

#16  Straw should have smiled and given them the one finger salute with the comment "F**k you Muzzies and the jackasses you rode in on."

#15  Careful, a5089, you're on the verge of giving too much information, lol.

#14  And thumbnails are the little thingies used in various web browsers, and even in IE 7 now (I think, I know them as "onglets"), to hold several webpages into a single one (you click on the thumbnail, and the webpage shows the website).

#12  Relax, this is a joke on the soul-killing fetish pr0n one can readily find on the internet, and which leaves people like me a little more dead inside every time they indulge themselves with it.

#11  I am very confused by anonymous 5089. So far today I've posted from the Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph (well, Sunday Telegraph but same paper). And I don't really like the word 'nigger' very much because it is very racist. A person cannot help being born black white or asian and I would never criticise them for a physical characteristic over which they have no control.
I reserve my anger for stupid belief systems and backwards cultural practices that violate the rights of others, like specifically Islamofascism.

"Nigger worship?" what the hey?
thumbnail? I'm too behind the new times at Rantburg to put in thumbnails... too hard I've only just worked out the source box!!!

what are you talking about???
Posted by: anon1   2006-10-15 08:51  

#10  And that goes for any other fetish, too.
Posted by: anonymous5089   2006-10-15 08:06  

#9  The Source box is the place where you DO NOT, I repeat, you DO NOT put the url of the nigger worship website you're having in that other thumbnail next to the article you want to post(this is a Note to self, too).

#8  Ohhh, thanks trailing wife, I'm glad you explained that!! All this time I thought the source box was where you put what newspaper you got it from!!

No wonder I had my knickers in a twist.

You are tops too!! Love my Rantburg, can't abandon it!

#7  hold a surgery at his constituency

He's at his office in his district, holding an open house for the voters to drop in and talk to him.

anon1, it took me a while to figure it out, too. The title of the article goes in the title box at the top, then the http://www. thingy goes in the space below the text box, where it says Source. You're posting some very interesting stories and comments, please don't throw up your hands over this!

#6  Zenster!!! And I thought you knew something extra with that deaf thing!!!

#5  What do you mean 'in the source line'? That is greek to me.

There are too many boxes to tick and things to fill it's too complicated these days, when all you want to do is post an interesting story. I used to make the headlines the link but then someone said make it the name of the source. SO i do that and now it's the straight URL whatever that means. I'll just paste it in the story then!

#4  Zenster...lol! You are going to feel really bad when you read it as "sources say" in our esteemed MSM tomorrow.

#3  Council sez kids complained, someone posted that some of the kids were deaf and need to see the lips move

Gah! This thing has taken on a life of its own. I WAS JOKING when I quipped that the kids were deaf. JOKING. Emkay?

#2  Unaise Spolump2266, maybe he was excising the muzzlum cancer... at least one can dream.

I think the whole thing is odd, a mistake of sorts on Straw side, because I doubt that he'd find his spine even if he tripped over it.

Or maybe he is not particularly fond of muzzies, who in their right mind is? The diplo carrier is no longer keeping him in the required mold of professional deformation. But neither he is fond of Jews.

Dunno, the guy was for me always an epitomy of weasel.

#1  Straw was "homding a surgery???"""

Translation, please.

Thank you.
