Women who do not wear headscarves are being threatened with violence and even death by Islamic extremists intent on imposing sharia law on parts of Britain, it was claimed today.
If the issue is framed as whether all women are under threat of death if they don't wear the veil to signify their submission to the radicals rather than as being under threat of a monetary fine for wearing a veil, I side with banning the veil.
Absence of a law on the veil is not a sign of freedom when the Islamists will enforce wearing the veil and are willing to kill or maim to make their point.
