brit muslim makes court history. and as usual for that group, for the wrong reason

Not my country and not any of my business and should not be any of my concern.
And it isn’t. Exactly. 

What concerns me is how easily this country and most of the west if not all of the west, bleats about how fair minded and all inclusive and all the rest of the left wing crap spouted in the name of democracy and human rights.  The rights industry even makes it sound like we’re dealing with real humans most of the time.
Like this woman. Well I guess it’s a woman.  It says it is.

Her name is Rebekah Dawson.  I guess Rebecca, being the faster and cleaner and easier way of writing it just was not good enough for her mummy.  Hmmm. Wonder if she knows who her mummy was. Perhaps she could ask.
That isn’t a muslim name. Is it?
Must be careful not to say anything about her color and cause offence. Oh what the hell. She’s one of our burdens but 2wice over since she’s a muzzie as well.

Here’s the thing.

This case has been on for a while and it all started last year.  A judge ruled at the time that she would not be allowed to give evidence in court if she insisted on keeping her face covered.  So ppl thought good.  She got told and maybe things will right themselves.  In your dreams.

I have heard and I have read some muslims claim that there isn’t anything in their religion or the Koran that specifically insists women be covered head to toe, only that women must dress with modesty.  But as we all know, the more radical element among them does not agree.  Of course not and there is no reason why they should agree or come to terms with the idea that if you live in the west, it is not a help to anyone if you insist on living like it’s still the 7th century. Or earlier.
And why should they agree to anything when the west panders to them and concedes and accommodates their insane demands and lifestyle.
No.  We’re the ones that are supposed to change, one would think, with judgements coming from courts like the ones seen over the past few years and now this one.

The headline in the paper read as follows.

In Court, first woman to face trial in full face veil.

A woman made legal history yesterday as she stood trial in a full face veil.

Rebekah Dawson, 22, became the first defendant to wear the covering at court after a judge ruled ‘freedom of religious expression’ should be recognised.
District Judge Peter Murphy told jurors that Dawson had a right to wear a niqab during the trial but that she would have to remove it if she wanted to give evidence.

He ruled: ‘The courts must respect and protect religious rights as far as that can possibly be done.
‘But in my view, it is necessary to the working of the crown court in a democratic society for the court, not the defendant to control the conduct of judicial proceedings.’

At Blackfriars Crown Court yesterday, Dawson argued that forcing her to remove the veil to give evidence violated her right to a fair trial under the European Convention on Human Rights.
But Judge Murphy rejected the application, saying that jurors being unable to see her was contrary to the principle of open justice which overrides religious belief.

He invited the defendant to remove the garment, but after a brief adjournment Dawson returned to court still wearing her niqab.
Judge Murphy told jurors: ‘I am aware some people have certain feelings about it [the niqab], but if you have any feelings you must put them aside completely… She is perfectly entitled in this country to dress as she wishes.’

He added: ‘The courts have for many years, indeed centuries, ruled that when a jury have been asked to evaluate evidence a witness gives it is important for jurors to see them … It is not possible to do that if they cannot see the witness’ face.’

Dawson, and her brother Matthias, 32, are accused of threatening a caretaker at Finsbury Park Mosque, north London, after he let three female charity workers from Portugal – who were not wearing veils – enter the building on June 4 last year.
Dawson, of Hackney, east London, and her brother Matthias Dawson, of Sydenham, south-east London, deny a single charge of witness intimidation.
The trial continues.

So where are we?  This seems like a rehash of the previous crap coming from the court last year.  This is a court. In a western country that has not seen people with covered faces in the happy past when there were so few of those kind of life forms roaming around.  And certainly not in the courts.  Appease, appease, appease.  Yeah. That’s the ticket alright.

Worked just fine at Munich in 38.

Oh. Right. It did. Didn’t it?  But it worked for the wrong side if I recall.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
