I like how the UK government is approaching this. Instead of addressing the problem because its not politically correct, they instead praise massive camera use and want to limit free speech on the web. Personally it seems like they are creating laws/regulations that will do ZERO to address the problem and at the same time give them more power. Reminds me of the democrats here in the states. They just pass "feel good" laws to make people feel good and never address the real issues. Facts are a stubborn thing. Sometimes you cant do what is popular but, what is right.
Or am I being mislead by our media again?
The problem is how the West has plundered the middle East and propped up dictators when it suited them and toppled them when it didn't.
Islam has co-existed peacefully for centuries until after the world wars. Then the West carved up it's Anglo-French colonies and abandoned the Arabs to their own devices.
It's easy to hate the West when you're constantly portrayed as collateral damage in a global push for democracy.
Likewise, colonial guilt means we don't enforce harsher entry requirements. It's unacceptable to force your minority view onto a established culture.
Integration is essential. Allowing pockets of mini-countries to exist isn't good at all.
And fwiw, I would not allow the face veil in an open and democratic country. The veil is not Islamic, its purpose is not clearly defined in the Quran. It's men telling people what to do, not god's word.
The sooner the better. And International police cooperation is crucial.
