Yes, it should be banned because it is a political ideology and one of conquest - jihad. It is civilisational suicide to accommodate Islam - it grows and takes over its host. Look at all the muslim countries in the world which will tolerate NOTHING outside of Sharia, and consider our fate if we don't decide that we are part of Christendom and that unless we defend it, we will become yet another liberal civilisation conquered by Islam and dragged back to the dark ages.

Grows and takes over it's host. Sounds like the good old East India company. And the 64 other countries we invaded and sort of pillaged.

Bettina that is our history We don't know a lot of our history because it happened over there. Everything I said is true .I have studied the subject in higher education. Rubbish just won't do I'm afraid.. You have the most amazing research tool in all human history at your finger tips Google. Go on Knowledge will set you free although it may hurt a little at first.🤔

patronising

Bettina, everything I have said Is fact checkable. I'm not sure about your view that Google is censored ? Google is host platform for documentaries , lectures and talks by accredited historians. Non idealistic views on “say Imperial history The Burks thing please tell (1.)why has this tedious talking point resurfaced after, i think Ten years? (2 )How many people are out there sporting the offending face wear ?? From what I know about the ladies who wear the article there also not allowed out in society. Most companies have basic dress codes which you have to adhere to work there. Bettina why does it vex you so? .This is the tired but effective right wing demonising of the easy to spot Other Always brown people. I'm not sure if I'm repeating my self when I ask you how you feel if say the Ukrainian refugees had a face covering tradition?. As for being ideological maybe I am ,I like my ideas to at least be logical..Toodle pip Bettina 🤔

Monty, if you don't know that Google is censored, then I'm afraid there is no more to discuss. However, I will say:

a) I often see burkas in London, so you must live elsewhere

b) this is about the oppression of women (not 'spotting brown people' as you put it) and it 'vexes' me because the oppression of anyone is not something I care to see - but you turn a blind eye to it if you choose

Yes Islam should be banned. It's a death cult and if you refuse to bow to their faith, their way of life, the Muslims have openly admitted and declared out loud that they will kill us/you.

Yes. We are not a country who can support laws that prevent us from exercising our American rights, and that’s exactly what Islam does. They are trying to tell Americans what they can and can’t do in their own country even now—offended by our music, offended by women wearing makeup, etc. I for one am not sorry to say go back to your own country if you want to practice your barbarism, otherwise you will follow American laws and customs! Period.

Yes! The Canadian scholar Gad Saad (X & Instagram) calls the open welcome of Islam to the West “suicidal empathy”. I had a TikTok account all about life in Canada. I had 80,000 followers from Pakistan and Bangladesh, leaving me comments like, “Give me Visa Now”, or “I need job in Canada”. I had to delete the account for my own safety and sanity. We all know the Left is sooo anti-racism (joke) that they will never consider closing the doors to anyone (except South African whites). So a follow up question is “Are we doomed?”

🙏 🙏 please! I dont want any more people practicing this backwards death cult coming into my country, especially military aged men.

Islam prevents progress, regresses countries to third world hell holes, denies women rights, an education and free will and let's pig ignorant men think they're the only ones with a brain, entitled to oppress women and everyone who doesn't agree with their religion. Islam also takes away a man's duty to control himself. They think if a woman shows her hair she wants to sleep with them, that she's tempting them. You can't reason with people like that.

Provocative headline, but... should we? Recently I've been reading about the Islamic invasions of Bharat Civilization (greater India) that began in the mid to late 600's and continued for the next several hundred years. 80 million Hindus slaughtered, millions of women raped and forced into sexual slavery, tens of thousands of temples destroyed. Violence beyond human comprehension.

Yeah, but that was hundreds of years ago, you say. They've changed, right? But have they? Is that violence that is fueled by complete intolerance of looking at the world, looking at reality, any other way but MY WAY still lurking there, still ready to purge the world of infidels?

A well-researched piece, and raising some important questions. Islam is not a “faith”. It is a culture that enforces subjugation to its demands (“hadiths”, “fatwas” and “jihad”) and brooks no opposition. It is a totalitarian ideology bent on world conquest, and has become increasingly strident in its demands, and violent, since 1979, following the “Islamic Revolution” in Iran. But it has NO PLACE WHATSOEVER in democracies - which it intends to overthrow.

Islam, and ALL its practices, must be outlawed in Britain!

Sad but True .. unfortunately Islam has no place for nonbelievers. The Quern 5/9 ‘After the high holy days hunt down and kill all the nonbelievers-but-If they say: ‘There’s only one religion Islam and Mohammed is our Prophet’, have them pay the tax, wear the sign, let them go’ .. (You’re either muslim or you’re dead)

On the face of it, yes. Because its commandments, as specified in great detail in the Koran, are in many cases incompatible with Western morals, culture, religion, and especially law.

If the law was enforced, we wouldn’t need to ask the question. But it isn’t, and therefore the question is being asked. If the law was enforced, and benefits cut off for all but those in dire need, I wonder if the U.K. would still be of interest to outsiders?

The biggest mistake Western governments made was to push the concept of multiculturalism, which posits that all cultures are of equal value. Now that millions upon millions of Muslims have migrated to the West not so much to seek a better life but to spread Islam, it’s waaaay too late. It’s like closing the barn door after the horses have fled.

Yes, it should be banned. We would need to get the army on standby to deal with the violent backlash.

That could have been the strategy in the channel, but it doesn’t happen. Whoever is pulling the strings also controls/influences the 3 branches of government, and by default, the army too.

It might still have been a question twenty years ago… but by now, even the most oblivious and naive people would agree that there’s no place for Islam in Europe
