Race boss warns of ‘fire’ on UK streets
The head of Britain’s race relations watchdog has warned today there will be “fire” on the streets unless growing racial tensions can be resolved. Trevor Phillips, chairman of the Commission for Racial Equality, says divisions created by the recent row about Muslim women wearing the veil risk becoming “the trigger for the grim spiral that produced riots in the north of England five years ago. Only this time the conflict could be much worse”.
In Sicily I should think the old women still wear veils and black dresses, so they look like Muslims. They certainly used to in recent memory. In UK, Catholic women used to have their heads covered in church. These things are simply out of date rituals insisted on by religious extremists and tolerated by the credulous. Today in Afghanistan, in some areas the men get meals, and the women eat scraps like dogs.
IMO: All this nonsense should be stopped. It is not religion but foolish anachronism.
