this is such an important issue, more and more people are succumbing to what must be some viral outbreak wreaking havoc in the world.. i'm talking about unnecessary punctuation.. it's easy to become infected.
you want to write something and add some emphasis so you add an exclamation mark to make it "important!
" but dang, it's not important enough is it??

“the un human rights committee said tuesday that france's ban on the niqab was a violation of human rights, and it called on the government to review the legislation.. france had failed to make the case for its ban, the committee said, giving paris 180 days to report back to say what actions it had taken.
the panel's findings are not legally binding but could influence french courts.. .
In the US, I can't think of any place where it is (in general) illegal to cover your face. It may look odd, but certainly isn't illegal in itself - Sir82
It's not illegal in the UK either. However most banks, Post offices, filling stations etc do require helmets to be removed.

Imagine being told that you will never again be able to smile at another human being outside your own home for the rest of your entire life. That is is the fate of 50% of the Muslim-majority world.
THAT is a transgression of human rights!

please if you are in a commonwealth country write /phone /fax your local member to support tr release from his current place of imprisonment.. you may not receive any reply but do so anyway.
were you listening to Cofty?
Yes I heard the whole piece. I didn't say he failed to acknowledge where they are from. He went on to say that the thing they had in common was not race or culture but the fact that they were men. He tried to support this by pointing out that the ring-leader was Indian,
In fact the one thing they have in common is that they come from cultures where treating unattached girls like whores is acceptable.
just been catching up on the case of jamal khashoggi.. khashoggi was a saudi journalist who 'went missing' on 2 october after visiting the saudi consulate in istanbul.. he visited the consulate in order to get paperwork that confirmed he was divorced from his ex-wife and free to marry his turkish fiancée.. the details that are emerging are harrowing and show just how barbaric the saudi regime is.. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6288131/jamal-khashoggis-apparent-murder-follows-disappearance-three-exiled-royal-princes.html.
these assassins are the kinda people my government (uk) and other western governments are doing business with, propping up, and acting all smiley with in front of the cameras.. i suddenly feel the need to take a shower ....
khashoggi still doesn’t deserve ... one bit of the USA’s attention - Morph
Whether Khashoggi is a friend of liberal democracy or its greatest critic is irrelevant.
Does America no longer stand for anything?

A BBC reporter on Radio 4 this evening asserted that the thing all the perpetrators have in common is that they are all men. Nothing to do with race, culture or religion.
Useful idiots!

Morph every time you go off on a topic, you screw up. When it is pointed out to you, your tactic is to throw out childish insults and double-down on your ignorance. You have become the most obnoxious person on the forum.
My knowledge of the history of Islamism is considerable. Shep is an expert from personal knowledge of the ME. As usual you are only interested in displaying your ignorance at the top of your voice.

Morph - Conflating the MB with Osama bin Laden shows a very shallow understanding of Islamism.
Saudi was the primary target of bin Laden's anger.
