We were never consulted about the importation of millions of ultra right wing aliens
who subscribe to Hitler’s favourite religion. We are not a racist nation, obviously, or so many people would not have been accepted peacefully..

However it is not reasonable for us, especially the proletariat, to be expected to tolerate these people with their ugly & anti Western ideology

The fact is, is that there’s no ‘race’ hate here; Muslims aren’t a race. Sure, it could be argued that the BNP are targeting ALL Muslims in their literature, but that’s just one perspective. They could just as easily argue, as no doubt they would, that they’re drawing attention to the increased visibility of munaqabat, especially in London.

Now, I don’t advocate the banning of the niqab, as some do, as I feel it’s a freedom of conscience issue. However, I do make assumptions about munaqabat: they would not approve of interfaith relationships; they’re unlikely to want to engage me in conversation; they’re unlikely to sit near me at a bus stop, welcome my assistance with shopping or respond after a request for information. Anybody else who held to any or all of these proclivities based on my gender or perceived ritual purity would not command my respect, so neither should munaqabat. Women who wear the niqab practise discrimination and are an insidious influence on society at large.

Perhaps the biggest irony of all is that some (if not all) of the complaints were raised by the Society of Black Lawyers, a racist cabal set up to campaign for preferential treatment according to skin colour.

Somebody needs to stamp on the BNP very heavily and very soon.
