Well that's the point, kilts are part of Scottish culture so they should remain part of Scottish culture.

At what point did kilts become part of Scottish culture? was that scottish culture, highland culture or british culture? Irish maybe or norse? celtic perhaps or even french? such a mishmash ain't it that culture thing.
So if they became part of that culture was it wrong to ban them? What on earth was a bloke from lower saxony doing telling the locals how to dress?

Burqas are not part of Western culture so they should not be part of Western culture.

Nor were curry, kebabs, saris, turbans, mantillas and christianity.

Is there any good reason why the personal wants of muslims should override the wants of Westerners?
|
A person choosing to wear an item of clothing doesn't really impact on anyone in any meaningful way so there is nothing real to override, banning a person from wearing something overrides their freedom of choice.
Unless there is an extremely good reason for overriding that freedom then it should not be even contemplated.
So far all the reasons given amount to nothing of substance.

My argument was they could do both.

There are some special requirements that I personally have to feel I can not trust every individual that walks through a city. If someone wears stockings on his head, I don't trust him. If someone wears a nikab, I don't trust him/her either.

Do you think your personal sensibilities requires national legislation to make people to conform to fit to your insecurities?
Quote:
They most certainly didn't. I read through them and my argument wasn't even mentioned.

Your only arguement that wasn't directly dealt with is your strange sense of fear, but it was indirectly dealt with by showing those fears to be irrational.

Don't get me wrong, I hate those guys as much as I hate fanatic muslims.

I know, it just surprised me that the government was really that desperate when it was looking to form a coilition, then again they were desperate enough to allow that pillock wilders in too.
