The Banning of Veils...

Why should I be force to like the religions being shove in your face every day I personally it strange as there’s no requirement in Islam that you should have to wear a veil. It’s nothing more than cultural statement of self imposes segregation from the rest of society that helps reinforce self paranoia that everyone is against them. There is no practical reason or need for doing so, other than a statement of “look at me”. As sooner as we copy the French ideas of banning the veil the better we can integrate with each other without looking like the wounded partner.
A good example of “reinforce self paranoia that everyone is against them” I am about to give is what I witness earlier on today. Two people waiting for a bus, one clearly practises her Muslim faith and her friend. To cut a long story short her friend put her arm out to stop the bus but the bus driver drove pass. The Muslim woman said to her friend “It’s it because I Muslim?” her friend said “I don’t know”. Want I found insulting that it was automatically assume that the bus driver drove past was a racist. As from where I was standing her friend put her hand out ten feet before the 7 ton to 12 Ton bus could stop going at 30 miles hour. Of course the Muslim women looked at me, I didn’t say anything. I just wish the “Muslim Card” isn’t so freely thrown around some things are simply a mundane affair.
