officials made it clear that if Muslim women do not want to reveal their faces in public, that would be respected

Why? The Muslims don't respect you.

#2 Orwell was only a few decades late in the UK.

What is astounding is the lack of protest that someone would even propose such a thing, much less implement it.

They are trading their birthrights for a mess of pottage.

I hope the self-forged chains lie lightly on our cousins across the pond until they come to their senses.

#3 there would be an exemption for certain people

Isn't that like, um, discrimination??

#4 How did these women get into the UK in the first place without photographs on their passports and visas? If they agreed to being photographed for those documents, then how can they object now?

#6 Anyone else remember a fatwa that said photo IDs are acceptable? Apparently they're required in the Soddy Kingdumb; why idiots outside of Soddyland refuse to let their pictures be taken is a mystery to me.

#7 Muslims, follow the laws of the country or get out. No one has displayed more sensitivity to your so called "religion" than the western world. Not only do you not respect that, you shove it in our faces every chance you get. We have certainly caught on to your tactics, we don't care that you call anyone criticizing your demands, "Islamophobic". We are waking up to the reality that Islam is not a religion but a political ideology, much like communism.

#8 Can't they like take a picture of the outer Aura? It would be way cool

#9 Islam has come to the UK and brought with it the necessity for photo ID's. And now the PC bureaucrats want to suck up to the local mullahs by exempting Muslim women? I think not. If I were a citizen of the UK no way would I willingly submit to be photographed knowing Muslim women are exempt.

#10 "We are waking up to the reality that Islam is not a religion but a political ideology, much like communism."

Right on, jawa. And they sure like to try and use our better values against us to gain advantage. Does anyone know the answer to Mike Sylwester's question (#4)?

#11 "Please describe the contents of the duffel, as all duffels look alike".

(Danged if I can remember which movie it was. Am I remembering it from MASH? Or Good Morning Vietnam?)
