death threats.

Quote:

The accused man at the centre of a legal debate over the right for a Muslim woman to wear a full-face veil while testifying in the witness box has received death threats over the case, a Perth court has heard.

Anwar Sayed stands accused of fraudulently gaining up to $752,000 in public funding while a director of the Muslim Ladies College of Australia in 2006.

His case has been overshadowed by a female witness's request to wear a traditional niqab headscarf, also commonly called a burqa, in the witness box, which would obscure her face from the judge and jury........

The infidel non-Muslim lawyers are faciliting an internal Muslim debate. Fascinating

So what part of that description can't be found anywhere else in society? Grin

You'd probably find all that in a pub on a Saturday night. Roll Eyes

Assimilate to what? People can do their own thing as long as they abide by the laws of the land. That's assimilating to the democracy we're in.

In as far as threats of violence or death that's not on but to hold that sort of thing is unique to Muslims would be hard to defend.

That's when the pussyfooting around Muslim sensibilities started. They should have been told then, in no uncertian terms, where to get orrf.

.......The man whose trial has led to controversy over the wearing of a Muslim headscarf in court has been "brutally stabbed" after being stopped in his car, his lawyer says.

Anwar Sayed, who a court heard received death threats yesterday for supposedly agitating to abolish the wearing of a niqab, also known as a burqa, was allegedly attacked this morning.........

.........Today's hearing was to establish a date for the retrial, but Mr Trowell told the court ''the only question is whether the accused will be alive''.............

Hmmnnn....if Western nations are anti-Muslim, then why haven't laws been passed by Western nations to: ban trade with Muslim countries and force all Western-based military, corporate, equity and other interests to promptly and permanently withdraw from Muslim countries!?

Surely, we shouldn't encourage them by 'investing' in their countries - rather we should have trade permanent embargoes!?

After all...'all Muslims are terrorists who are taught to hate us from birth' - right!?

Vested interests, not much!?

It's a passing fad. This anti-Muslim hysteria wasn't always about. It seems to me that some of our leaders felt insecure without an enemy post Cold War. Whilst we're in this phase there will be no shortage of armchair pundits turning it over and over again to find all manner of evil that doesn't exist anywhere else.

Must be scary for some not to have an enemy. Can't wait for the lizards from out of space to get here. Well, at least not just on TV.

But we need the enemy. Without the enemy you let yourself go.

We need the enemy to maintain discipline.

Really? So you need an enemy to be able to do your job, study , eat regularly, bathe regularly, and abide by the law etc. Ever hear of self-discipline?
