    Spot on, Janice. The burqa is a political statement, a clear signal of refusal to integrate. Even the hijab is an insult to the host population, proclaiming, as it too does, the assumed ‘superiority’ of the wearer.

      When a Muslim woman wear ‘the UNIFORM’ of Islam she is sending a message that she supports the horrible doctrines of Islam … such as …

      1 No Golden Rule 2 No free speech 3 No democracy 4 Jihad – holy war of supremacism 5 Honour killings 6 Taqiyya – sacred lying 7 Taqlid – group think 8 Circular reasoning 9 Misogyny – repression of women 10 Rape of kafirs as jihad prizes 11 Genocide 12 Ethnic cleansing 13 Al-Walaa wal-Baraa – Islamic apartheid 14 Torture 15 Plundering 16 Cruel and unusual punishments 16 Backwardness – stagnation 17 Violence against women 18 Slavery 19 Discriminatory Sharia law 20 Hatred of the arts 21 No music 22 Pedophilia disguised as child marriage 23 Fifty generations of cousin marriage and genetic defects 24 Cruelty to animals 25 Extortion tax to humiliate disbelievers 26 No historic basis 27 Anti-intellectual obscurantism 28 FGM 29 Arab racism 30 Theocratic totalitarianism 31 Vigilantism 32 Amoral, opportunistic character of Mohammed that all Muslims must imitate 33 Hatred of non-Muslims as an essential doctrine 34 History of Islam includes the genocidal murders of 270 million non-Muslims in Islamic holy wars, terrorism, persecutions and enslavement directed against non-Muslims.

      What it also serves as is as a red herring. With the focus on who has the right to wear what, attention is taken away from the fact that the islamic bible, or rather its manual on how to hate everything, is full of hate and values incompatible with Western society, such as: men are in charge of women; if you fear your wife, beat her (no restrictions); kill Jews, Christians, etc.

    When a non-Muslim puts on a Burka or any other Muslim face and body covering, it symbolizes complete and total submission to Islam and the rejection of one’s non-Muslim culture.

    • mortimer says

      When a non-Muslim puts on a Burka or any other Muslim face and body covering, she is ENDORSING the horrible doctrines of Islam …

      1 No Golden Rule 2 No free speech 3 No democracy 4 Jihad – holy war of supremacism 5 Honour killings 6 Taqiyya – sacred lying 7 Taqlid – group think 8 Circular reasoning 9 Misogyny – repression of women 10 Rape of kafirs as jihad prizes 11 Genocide 12 Ethnic cleansing 13 Al-Walaa wal-Baraa – Islamic apartheid 14 Torture 15 Plundering 16 Cruel and unusual punishments 16 Backwardness – stagnation 17 Violence against women 18 Slavery 19 Discriminatory Sharia law 20 Hatred of the arts 21 No music 22 Pedophilia disguised as child marriage 23 Fifty generations of cousin marriage and genetic defects 24 Cruelty to animals 25 Extortion tax to humiliate disbelievers 26 No historic basis 27 Anti-intellectual obscurantism 28 FGM 29 Arab racism 30 Theocratic totalitarianism 31 Vigilantism 32 Amoral, opportunistic character of Mohammed that all Muslims must imitate 33 Hatred of non-Muslims as an essential doctrine 34 History of Islam includes the genocidal murders of 270 million non-Muslims in Islamic holy wars, terrorism, persecutions and enslavement directed against non-Muslims.

    There is no symbol that represents the subjugation of females better than the slave wear of hijab, niqab and burka. Islam needs to be eradicated from the civilized world.

      So true–when a woman cannot even show her face, it completely erases her as a person.

    Funny. I feel the same way about Muslims. I don’t want to engage with them either and I don’t even wear a burqa.

    Let us hope Janice Atkinson is the trail blazer who will LEAD THE WAY for other courageous politicians to speak out about the evils of ISLAMIC IDEOLOGY.

    The WORST THINGS ABOUT ISLAM are:

    1 No Golden Rule 2 No free speech 3 No democracy 4 Jihad – holy war of supremacism 5 Honour killings 6 Taqiyya – sacred lying 7 Taqlid – group think 8 Circular reasoning 9 Misogyny – repression of women 10 Rape of kafirs as jihad prizes 11 Genocide 12 Ethnic cleansing 13 Al-Walaa wal-Baraa – Islamic apartheid 14 Torture 15 Plundering 16 Cruel and unusual punishments 16 Backwardness – stagnation 17 Violence against women 18 Slavery 19 Discriminatory Sharia law 20 Hatred of the arts 21 No music 22 Pedophilia disguised as child marriage 23 Fifty generations of cousin marriage and genetic defects 24 Cruelty to animals 25 Extortion tax to humiliate disbelievers 26 No historic basis 27 Anti-intellectual obscurantism 28 FGM 29 Arab racism 30 Theocratic totalitarianism 31 Vigilantism 32 Amoral, opportunistic character of Mohammed that all Muslims must imitate 33 Hatred of non-Muslims as an essential doctrine 34 History of Islam includes the genocidal murders of 270 million non-Muslims in Islamic holy wars, terrorism, persecutions and enslavement directed against non-Muslims.

    CAN A REASONABLE, SANE PERSON ENDORSE ISLAM’S DOCTRINES? Surely, they cannot. Only a DUPE or a GREAT FOOL would endorse the above.

      Jay Boo, you have to admit it was worth repeating.

  6. PRCS says

    I will almost guarantee that she and the interviewer are referring to niqab, not burqa.

    If I’m correct, this ongoing lack of specificity makes the issue more difficult to discuss effectively and accurately.

    • Susan B says

      Jul 31, 2018 at 1:24 pm

      PRCS – any islamic slave garment, whether a hijab or burka, is not only an insult to all free women in the world but to all of the civilized world. This sick and evil and dangerous cult needs to be eradicated out of civilization.

        What I dislike seeing are coddled, sheltered young female “mini-nuns” who obviously delight in displaying superficial purity, equanimity, and (best yet) “superiority”. It’s a real tour de force to carry this off when your audience is increasingly wising up to what Islam represents.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 1, 2018 at 8:13 pm

      They both cover a woman’s face, and are both horrible.

  7. PRCS says

    Jul 31, 2018 at 4:50 pm

    Well, is she referring to niqab or burqa? Curious mind want to know.

    • Carol the 1st says

      Aug 3, 2018 at 10:18 pm

      PRCS – here’s how I remember it:

      H as in Hijab for Head (most common headscarf with open face)
      N as in Niqab for Neck and Head (covers more of Neck, upper chest, hair, and all of the face but the eyes)
      B as in Burqa for Body (the full Bodybag camo with eyes veiled)

      • Carol the 1st says

        Aug 3, 2018 at 10:35 pm

        I think she’s referring to the Niqab. It covers the facial features with the exception of the eyes (Burqas are even worse and Atkinson would thus include them in her legitimate gripe but it seems they’re rarely seen outside of Afghanistan).
        The garment we see most often is the Hijab – a light headscarf that does not hide facial features and therefore (like the Sikh turban) we may have to live with it. What I resent is not just the bad signals all muslima-wear sends, but anything that allows them to be less than full and responsible parts of the job-hunting workforce.

    • gravenimage says

      “Brian hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–wants to force all women to wear the Burqa.

      There is nothing “racist” in opposing this.

  9. Hogdude says

    Aug 1, 2018 at 12:51 pm

    Once some of these Muslim women learn what real freedom means, they’ll take off the burqa and join the civilized world as a partner, not a second class person. Welcome to freedom!

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 1, 2018 at 8:20 pm

      Some will–but some will instead try to impose it on us.
