O’Leary: Burka sollte verboten werden – Musliminnen gegen Burka-Verbot in Australien

 

Michael O’Leary, der Boss von Ryanair, hat dazu aufgerufen, die Burka in Großbritannien zu verbieten und davor gewarnt, dass sich das Land „viel zu sehr“ Religionen von Minderheiten wie dem Islam beuge. Dieser kontroverse Kommentar kam, nachdem bekannt wurde, dass die Polizei die Spur des Terrorverdächtigen Mohamed Ahmed Mohamed verloren hatte, der aus einer Moschee geflohen war, indem er sich unter einer Burka versteckte, berichtet die Huffington Post. O’Leary sagte, er denke, man solle die Burka in Großbritannien verbieten, wenn man nach Saudi Arabien gehe und sich die Frauen dort verschleiern müssten, dann respektiere man auch die dortige Kultur. In Großbritannien beuge man sich viel zu sehr den Wünschen einiger Minderheitenreligionen. Er fügte hinzu, dass man, wenn man im Westen leben wolle, nicht das unveräußerliche Recht habe sich so zu verhüllen, dass nur noch die Augen sichtbar wären. {Quelle: europenews.dk}

 

 

 

Western Australia joins New South Wales in passing a law to force Muslim women to show their faces to Police

 

A new law requiring Muslim women to remove a burqa or niqab (full-face covering headbag) to prove their identity to West Australian police has been passed by the state’s parliament. (Why not just ban burqas and niqabs anywhere in public? They frighten small children and are offensive to normal People)

 

 

 

 

WA Today  (h/t Colin W): The legislation was drafted in response to public outcry about the case of niqab-wearing mother-of-seven Carnita Matthews, who had a conviction of knowingly making a false statement quashed. Ms Matthews was originally given a six-month jail sentence after being found guilty of falsely accusing a senior constable of forcibly trying to remove her niqab when she was pulled over while driving in Woodbine in Sydney’s southwest in June 2010. She was later acquitted on appeal after the prosecution could not prove she was the woman who signed the statement while wearing the garment. WA acting Police Minister John Day said the legislation, which was passed on Thursday, had been amended after consultation with the Muslim and Sikh communities. “Initially, the legislation stated police would be able to require someone to remove their headwear for the purposes of identification,” Mr Day said. ”However, following consultation with the Muslim and Sikh communities, the government agreed to change the word headwear to face covering”.

 

He said the change had removed all of the concerns of the communities, while police had advised it was acceptable.”So I am confident a satisfactory compromise has been reached,” he said. The new law also makes it easier for police to take DNA from suspects, with the definition of “identifying particular” expanded to permit the taking of dental impressions, hair samples and other body tissues.

It also provides a process for applying to a magistrate for a warrant when samples are needed from juvenile suspects who have not been charged when there is no responsible person, or they cannot be found, or it is impracticable to make requests to them.
