Italian foreign minister: "Let's ask ourselves if covering one's face isn't the first sign of refusal to integrate and closing oneself off... from the host community and its traditions"

Indeed. The face veil in its various forms is the most visible symbol of an ideology that wants nothing to do with equality and integration. "Italy: Foreign minister rejects face veil," from AdnKronos International, January 27:

Florence, 27 Jan. (AKI) - Italy's foreign minister Franco Frattini on Wednesday voiced his opposition to the face veil. Women wearing the garment pose security issues and symbolise "a refusal to integrate" by Muslim immigrants in a host country, he said.
''Let's ask ourselves if covering one's face isn't the first sign of refusal to integrate and closing oneself off... from the host community and its traditions," Frattini said.
He was speaking at a conference of young publishers taking place in the Tuscan city of Florence, a day after France moved a step closer to banning the face veil.
A French parliamentary committee on Tuesday issueda report recommending a partial ban on the face veil in hospitals, schools, government offices and on public transport.
"It is the symbol of the repression of women, and... of extremist fundamentalism," said French parliament speaker Bernard Accoyer upon the presentation of the report.
France's parliamentary recommendation is expected to be followed by the drafting of a bill and a parliamentary debate on the issue of the face veil, which has sparked heated debate in many European countries.
"I would not legislate on the face veil but would tackle the issue through a wider process," Frattini said, noting that it raised also security problems.
''When someone enters a bank or a public office veiled from head to toe, it seems logical to me there is a security issue," he said....

Yes, let's also ask ourselves why any country would openly welcome millions who believed that slavery, sex slavery, extortion, death for insults, robbery, theft, amputations, death for adultery, etc., etc. is not only OK, but allowed or required by Muslims per Koran.

Let's also see how the evil Adolph Hitler and his book Mein Kampf, look relatively mild compared to Muslim's ideal man and prophet Mohammed and Koran

Geert Wilders has often said in his speeches, that Muslims don't go to countries to integrate and assimilate, but to dominate and intimidate.

For 1400 years, Islam has been spread ONLY through violence and threats of violence.

When confronted with the option of converting to Islam, or being beheaded, most choose to keep their heads on their shoulders.

I recall reading about the experiences of a villager in Serbia?...when muslims came to town.
At first they offered goats, food, friendship even money. They spoke a little of their religion and the wonders thereof.
Soon, as they grew in number, they demanded changes in the way things were done, accommodations...and finally conversion. Instead of inviting them to convert, they gave them ultimatums. Convert or die. Having ones head cut off was mentioned often. I recall specifically that the story teller said, "That's when we started killing them".

Peace on the playground is achieved through superior firepower.

Violence and the threats of violence...the coin of islam.

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. George Orwell.
We should all stand ready. Violence may visit itself upon any one of us at any time from many various and sundry ne'er do wells.
I'm sure those that died at the hands of murdering jihadi scumbags in Mumbai felt quite safe and secure until the bullets started to fly. It's a comfort to know that there were enough guns sold in the US in the last 3 months to equip the standing armies of both China and India.

islam is a lie and
Truth is killing it.

In the UK, there is a well-known phrase that is used to describe people unwilling to integrate or undertake things requested of them.

It's known as "FIFO" management.

FIFO = Fit In or F*** Off

But the Italians and French have always been more polite than we mere Brits.

I wonder how long it will be before the US and UK, "Go FIFO" on Islam and Muslims?

The veil, like the mosque, is a powerful, visual symbol of an ideology which seeks to eventually eradicate and dominate. Today in Western nations it's time to get rid of the veil. Tomorrow it will be the mosques that need to go (one way to do this is to make trying to get a permit to build a mosque in Western lands as difficult as it is to get a permit to build a church or synagogue in Muslim lands; ditto for permits for repairs of already existing mosques).

Respect for an ideology that would destroy liberty if given the chance is a respect that need not be given. In fact, it's stupid and even suicidal to do so. Slowly those in the West are catching on to this and to what Islam really intends for us all. Have to hope such realization does not prove to be too slow in gaining ground. In any case, getting rid of veils (and potato sacks for clothing purposes) is a good first step.

Come on, Italy. Come on France.

Who will be first? Dare and double dare! Ban the burqa. Indeed, ban the ugly slave rag in all its forms.

Both of you are deservedly famous for haute couture; both of you are famed for the exquisitely stylish and beautiful women in beautiful clothes who for centuries have adorned the streets of your cities (shall we quote Dante? - 'I am he who shall say in Hell, "I have seen the hope of the Blessed"'? 'ben sem, ben sem, Beatrice'); ever since the Renaissance your painters have delighted to paint them.

Botticelli. Da Vinci. Raphael. Titian. Watteau. Renoir. Monet.

You *know* that the Muslim slave rag signifies not modesty but the shaming and degradation and enslavement of Woman even as it also signifies Muslim aggression, a Muslim declaration of War against everything that you are.

Ban it!

Oriana Fallaci would say that it's about time that Italy begins to wake up to the Muslim immigration problem. And I as a native Florentine nod in agreement also.

FINALLY! France and Italy have something to resent more than Americans.

Hi jew_lover i love your home page.it s great..

France and Italy are standing up...Lets see if they remain standing after the riots start...I don't see Islam sitting still for this assault on its very essence...While the Quran may not call for the headscarf, the the kufr assault on its use is an attack on Islam and Allah...This requires a strong response...I think France and Italy better brace up...

Good! Let them make their strong response! And prove again just who they are, how they act and why their host-cultures are wising-up and tightening the screws on 'em. Let 'em justify the laws enacted to limit their retrograde culture, let 'em prove their foulness beyond doubt, beyond taqqiyah. And, hopefully, let these countries be ready to stand tall, brace-up and kick ass! Can these countries man-up to it? We can only hope...

FIFO won't work. Muslims are commanded to lie and deceive. Once they feel in a position of power they will rise up. The right number of Muslims in a Western country is the same as the right number of Nazis:ZERO. That's unfortunate but they have told us what they will do to us once they feel strong.

'When someone enters a bank or a public office veiled from head to toe, it seems logical to me there is a security issue,' he said...."
This is such common sense and these chick mozoids can get away with virtually any form of clandestine activity while under the protection of the symbols of their "faith". I think that Italy and France being so vocal about the intimidation and bullying tactics ---- this time via "religious" garb ---- is fantastic. Yes, and both of these countries had better get ready for a showdown. I have a feeling that Italy, at least, will not back down from these barbarians. It has been under such continual social unrest for so long that I think that it can acclimate fairly well to a new crisis.

About 25 years ago I visited Heidelburg in Germany. Some obviously Middle Eastern women appeared in full black burquas.
At that time that was SO unusual that I, an amateur photographer, attempted to take a photo. They signalled me to not - not of course that anything at all was on display - and out of courtesy I desisted.

Today it is not only NOT unusual but, as I saw on UK TV only 2 weeks ago, we now have rather stupid indigenous English girls who are persuaded to convert to Islam and import Pakistani husbands and then totally clothe themselves in burquas. I despair.
What I know is that if I DARED to enter a bank, or nearly anywhere else, with nothing but my eyes showing then I'd be arrested. Quite right too. So come on Harriet Harman (to our US friends this woman is the harridan imposing laws against indigenous British men) MAKE US EQUAL!!!

On the main point I totally agree = integrate and drop the supremacism or just F off home. simple and I'd prefer that you F'd off home.

Incidentally I wrote to Honest Ibe Hooper and , unusually for me, I was largely courteous. I asked some questions. He never replied!

Those of us who have been keeping an eye on Frattini know that he is a limp dick who swings in either direction.

He is merely testing the water with his statements which are carefully drafted to leave him with a multitude of escape hatches.


Frattini is no Geert Wilders.

Yes, it is a total insult to sane people's sense of safety, as well as being a horrific gender double-standard. I become quite jittery when I am alone in a ladies' room with one of these females "mo"rons, as I could only imagine what they would be capable of getting away with. Regarding English girls willingly taking up the burqa, unfortunately this behaviour is probably based on a type of rebellion similar to the kind that "white, liberal" girls indulged in, here, in the States. Guilt for being "privileged" by virtue of their parents' WASPy elitist status drove quite a few of them into self-destructive relationships with the misogynist/Black Supremist Afro-American men who were very abusive specifically towards white women. This is the perfect psychological set-up to be employed now by mozoid "believers" to use on Western female kuffar, using guilt and the victim card as the manipulative devices of this take-over ploy. Indirectly controlling the baby-reproducing" segment of the "host" population through "love" and sex" is very powerful.

Thank you Sir/Ma'am - We try our best to make it as easy to understand for people who aren't yet aware of the threats Islam poses.

Thanks for the heads-up on him. Maybe our hope should then rest with the Italian people themselves.

One would think that people fleeing Islamic tyranny would
want to leave barbaric customs behind;but it looks like
they not only want to continue to live by such practices,but
to impose them on the populations of the countries to which
they have sought refuge.This begs the question.Are these
people true refugees or agents of Islam who are sent
infiltrate and assume sensitive positions in Governments etc.

I was told many years ago by an African man who worked in Saudi Arabia that SA pays Muslims to migrate to our countries to spread Islam. I was shocked at the time. But yes, it is certainly a takeover attempt, and doing very well so far.

These body rags are needed to cover the beatings, but they are not to beat the woman on the face.

The police are called in Non Sharia issues when women are beat up.

Why else would they inflict this dehumanizing behavior on a human being? It is clearly not in the Quran that I read.

Can you imagine the Jihad if you cannot beat your wife?
These rags are important!

Believe me, how can you say the woman wants to wear this, when her choice is this or an honor killing?

If it is such a wonderful thing why don't western women wear them?

It has been Italian law since 1975 that police are to shoot anyone with a face mask on sight, since the only conceivable reason for covering one's face is to blow up everyone around you. Why is this an issue? The facial slave rag has been illegal in Italy for decades.

I don't understand why they passed a resolution calling upon police to uphold existing law 2 months ago, and I don't understand what this is about, either.

Just shoot them. It's the law.

It signifies pride in one's perpetual prostitute status, nothing more.

Nice to see ya jdamn! Missed you and your clear thinking and posting here. I visit your site regularly...keeps me sane.

islam is a lie and
Truth is killing it.
