To David Traynier - How sad you had to play the race-card. I find when idiots like YOU make a comment that has no validity you always play the race-card. How sad. People commenting here are correct, Islam does not work in a free society. It was created by a 7th century pediphile - the end
Why does Islamic clothing bother you more than what the killing of innocent people does?Is their no way you can disobey your Jewish controllers?Or is their money control over you more important than God?
Is there any essential difference between the banning of the Burka, for example, and the banning of the wearing of hoodies in schools and shopping centres like Bluewater? Havent we done this already?
