#1 "'If this is true then it is the first case of its kind in Britain and an isolated incident,' Shahid Malik, an MP for the governing Labour Party was quoted as saying in The Times."

Thank God for the omniscience of MPs - we would be lost without them. I'm certainly reassured.

#3 Actually, knowing his arrest was a forgone conclusion, he was just trying to get slipped a last length of hot merguez.

I absolutely agree with Shahid Malik (arabic translation: King of the Martyrs) 100%, there is nothing to see here.

#8 What's that in the background? I'm guessing part of a proctologist.

#9 The time has come to illegalize the burqa in all Western nations. No exceptions. The hajib, or headscarf, can remain for now. Full body and face covering garments too easily conceal a terrorist actor and must be forbidden.

#10 Reminds me of a joke - Q: What do you call a Jamaican proctologist? A: Pokemon.

#11 Saira Khan in the Times today on the shuffling sheets debate: Muslim women should thank Straw. Excerpts:

"It is an extreme practice. It is never right for a woman to hide behind a veil and shut herself off from people in the community. But it is particularly wrong in Britain, where it alien to the mainstream culture for someone to walk around wearing a mask. The veil restricts women, it stops them achieving their full potential in all areas of their life and it stops them communicating. It sends out a clear message: 'I do not want to be part of your society...

[M]y argument with those Muslims who would only be happy in a Talebanised society, who turn their face against integration, is this: 'If you don’t like living here and don’t want to integrate, then what the hell are you doing here? Why don’t you just go and live in an Islamic country?'"

#12 Heartening to see so-called moderate muslims finally having a go at the nutters.

#13 Bulldog: England is an Islamic country...the English just haven't realized it yet.

#14 Gromky - Maybe you're confusing England with Australia?

#16 One of the British news media covering this story admitted that the story had been suppressed for some time, only being published after Jack Straw spoke out against veils/burqas/etc.

Or, rather than issuing a ban, you could go the other way and assume anyone wearing such a thing IS a potential terrorist. At a minimum a Person of Interest.

I like the way you think, eLarson. A splendid alternative in making countries Muslim unfriendly.
