    That's not the point and you know that.

    Muslim women wear a burka/hijab for a reason. There are certain parts of a woman that they consider taboo to be exposed to public view, much like (buh-buh-wha?!?!) a pair of exposed tits is in western culture. It isn't on you or any other internet hardman mouthbreather to start pulling at the thing covering them because you don't think them exposing their face/hair isn't something sexual/taboo to you.

    Leave them alone. Their beliefs and dresscode has nothing to do with me,you or anyone beyond any authorities that might want to identify them.

    I have lived in the ME thanks.

    First off I didn't say it was. Second off it could be as bad as a sexual assault to this victim. You don't seem to have any idea what showing her head to another man can mean to a Muslim lady

    Ordinary peaceful Muslims will now become targets for hate on account of the nut jobs.

    Unfortunately these attacks will become more commonplace.

    What's that got to do with the price of fish?

    We are talking about THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT.

    Your reasoning and justification of this incident is very strange.

    She can enter the mosque without it ?

    You're deliberately avoiding the question. The thread is not about Islam, or the rules of it.
    Do you think that strangers have the right to take clothes off ANYONE in the street?

    What have you against Muslims? Why is this hate crime not important enough to be on the news? Just because it's not important to you doesn't mean it's not important

    I find it very hard to believe people can't get the basic jist of why this is a crime.

    Why, because i can't understand WHY it has been deemed newsworthy? Why do you think that it is newsworthy?

    Of course it shouldn't have happened but it is not news and is not comparable to someone having their clothes ripped off, no matter how posters on here attempt to spin it.

    No but you could try educate yourself on Muslim beliefs before making comments. Just a thought

    I don't believe what was asked in the leaving cert higher level English paper is in anyway newsworthy, but yet every year I have to watch rte interviewing teenagers about their exam!
    I tend not to read articles, or watch pieces on the news about it. You know, cos I'm not interested.
    Maybe you could do that?

    Ive already said I believe they are trying to highlight the type of bull**** that goes on ahead of national hate crime week.

    The problem isn't that it was reported, or newsworthy.

    The problem is that it happened at all.

    I know quite a lot thanks having lived in the ME watching women covered up walking behind their husbands. Sitting in the back of the car. Nowhere in the book says a woman has to wear any of these items. It was brought in a subjugation plain and simple.

    I'm an atheist who finds all religions to be utterly silly and i'm still despairing at utter idiocy of some people in this thread who don't seem to realize how messed up this incident was.

    Please leave Islamic women alone and don't interfere with their traditional clothing. In fact, just leave all women alone and don't interfere with their clothing.

    Unless they want you to.

    Alleged. The perpetrator(s) haven't been caught, he didn't speak so the motivation behind the incident is currently unconfirmed.

    So? What relevance does that have to me or my posts? This thread is about whether this incident should be considered an assault or not. I have asserted that it should. Because it was. I don't give a shît what the article says about religion.

    Why the entire thread is a hypothetical as no one has been caught charged and we don't even know the motivation.
