Are they not first and foremost American lawmakers, who happen to be Muslim, rather than “Muslim lawmakers” ? IMO the hijab, particularly in a political context, is a symbol of oppression. WhiteWednesdays

To be asked to remove a niqab or veil when it is not you that is being assessed is like removing part of your 'self'.

Banning Islamophobia would suppress debate - just ask a liberal MuslimPolarising rhetoric risks drowning out the overwhelmingly positive story of Islam in Britain FraserNelson Liberals r always getting things wrong. There isn’t any Islamophobia, there is Islamistphobia - justifiably so. Practicing a religion 4 spiritual purpose doesn’t bother most people, but using it 2 promote primitive political ideology that has all the hallmarks of takeover does. FraserNelson Banning something that doesnt exist cant suppress a debate we are already prohibited from having ... our leaders sided with the intolerant child abusers over those liberals you speak of FraserNelson Course it would suppress debate. But that’s what a lot of them want. To ride roughshod over democracy and freedom of speech, to stifle any debate about them or what they do. They obviously think they are above the law and want to be above any law. Dangerous ground to be treading.

Why do the muslims get mentioned so much? is it a click bait thing

GP who asked Muslim woman to remove veil so he could hear faces the sackHe claims the patient removed it without issue but she later complained saying she felt racially discriminated against. Outrageous ... So what was this? A Hate Crime? Islamophobia? Or a doctor acting in the best interests of a patient by ensuring he was getting the correct information?
