More Evidence That European Nations Are Fed Up With Islam - Italy bans Islamic burqas
Topics: War on TerrorIt's begining to look as though the Europeans are getting less politically correct and Islamosensitive, while getting more serious about cracking down on the Islamist's attempts of cultural stranglation of Western society (while facilitating special benefits for Muslims and degradation of the freedoms of non-Muslims) and their attempts to eat away at Western freedoms and values.
A positive sign is Italy's adoption of a tough terrorism package, and in obvious disregard for political correctness, my favorite move - banning of Islamic burqas(because it says to Islam - no further, back up). Polly Toynbee, writing in The Guardian back in September 2001, called the burqa an instrument of persecution, a public tarring and feathering of female sexuality that transforms any woman into an object of defilement too untouchably disgusting to be seen:
The AustralianIn her Guardian article, Toynbee went on to call the burka a garment of lurid sexual suggestiveness, that, in its objectifying of women, turns them into cowering creatures demanding and expecting violence and victimisation. She more or less said, to hell with cultural sensibilities, an attitude that the West, nearly four years later, should have adopted long before now.
ITALY has banned Islamic burqas under tough terrorism laws that provide two-year jail terms and E2000 ($3200) fines for anyone caught covering their face in a public place.The counter-terrorism package, passed by Italy's parliament yesterday, doubles the existing penalty for wearing a burqa or chador -- traditional robes worn by Muslim women to cover their faces -- or full-faced helmets or balaclavas in public.
Police can extract DNA samples without a suspect's consent, detain them for 24 hours without a lawyer present, and deport foreigners suspected of terrorism under the new legislation. Soldiers involved in counter-terrorism have been given the same stop-and-search powers.
The changes, approved in a rare show of bipartisanship, came as Italian police arrested a fugitive hunted by British police over the bungled bombing attempt in London on July 21.
"In the course of the investigation, it has been possible to identify a dense network of individuals from the Eritrean and Ethiopian communities in Italy, believed to have helped the fugitive cover his tracks," Italian Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu told the Senate. "We have before us a grave threat that has to be confronted with all the means of prevention and contrast that we have." Italian media yesterday reported that the suspected terrorist, named by British police as Somali-born Hussain Osman, was Hamdi Adus Issac, 27, born in Ethiopia and allegedly granted British citizenship using false Somali documents.
