Forget the signs.
There is a cultural sensitivity that needs to be observed in Eastern countries (e.g. modest dressing in places like temples).
Similarly there should be a cultural sensitivity observing in Western countries (show your face in public places).
Moderation all round would be good, rather than extremes; thankfully most Muslims are moderate and dress moderately.Comment

Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostSo should the law, and potentially the criminal law, be used to enforce those cultural sensitivities in a free country, or should we accept that some people are just insensitive, just as some people might be rude and ignore their next door neighbours?Comment

Originally posted by LondonManc View PostWe should be a lot of things but completely tolerant is not one of them. The game is wrong, not the players.
It seems very much against the principles of liberty to use the law against someone who chooses to dress in a certain way (assuming of course that is their choice).Comment
