surrendering to the forces of darkness

Earlier this week a judge ruled that a muslim woman could not remain covered as people need to be identified and a full face cover defeats that.  Makes sense to the more civilized and rational.
While I am no expert on the Koran, I have heard some muslims say that there is nothing in the Koran about a full face cover, only that women must dress modestly.  The admonition on exposure isn’t meant to include the face.  When the judge ruled against the pushy broad I thought, good.  About time.  You wanna walk around in public looking like the Lone Ranger fine.  Do it in a country where it’s natural, not to mention backward.  So cheers for the judge. Right?
Well not so damn fast kemosabe. 

JUDGE BACKS DOWN OVER FULL FACE COVER

A muslim woman should be allowed to stand trial without taking off her full-face veil, because forcing her to do so would breach her human rights, a court has heard.

Making the woman remove her niqab would also be counter to the “tolerant” approach to Islamic dress in the UK, her barrister argued.

The defendant, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was allowed to enter a not guilty plea to a charge of intimidation of a witness, with her face covered after a judge backed down from previously saying she must show her face in court to be identified properly. She had argued that it was against her religious beliefs to show her face to men.

Judge Peter Murphy later heard legal argument about whether the woman should be allowed to stand trial without wearing her veil and is due to hand down written directions on Monday.

Her barrister, Susan Meek, argued that the woman, from London, had a right to wear the veil during trial in November under Article 9 of the European Convention of Human Rights, which safeguards religious beliefs. She also highlighted the “tolerant” approach taken to Islamic dress in the UK.

“She is entitled to wear it in private and in public,” Ms Meek said. “That right to wear the niqab also extends to the courtroom. There is no legislation in the UK in respect of the wearing of the niqab. There is no law in this country banning it.”

Judge Murphy allowed the woman to enter the dock at Blackfriars Crown Court and deny a charge of intimidation after she had been identified in a private room by a female police officer.

The Metropolitan Police constable, who was present when the defendant was photographed following her arrest in June, then swore on oath that it was the same woman under the niqab in the dock. Beforehand the defendant had not even been able to enter the dock, because her identity had not been checked.

At the start of Thursday’s hearing Judge Murphy said he had been given a substantial amount of material since the last hearing in August regarding the woman’s right to keep her veil on. He then said: “I would be satisfied for the officer giving evidence, having seen the defendant backstage so to speak in a private setting, saying she could identify her.”

But that isn’t all in news from the front where the West and civilization is being overrun by the forces from the dark ages. The war is being lost on all fronts as those who should know better, appease, accommodate and just plain cave in to the forces of darkness. 

Last week a college issued rules regarding dress code and ruled that the female students of the muslim faith could not cover their faces. An issue of safety and identification meant nothing to the more militant and ignorant both in and out of that group.  But the college said that was the rule and it was going to stand by it.  Well good for them.
Oh yeah?
Not so damn fast kemosabe.

Ban on Muslim students wearing religious veils scrapped by Birmingham college after public outcry

Birmingham Metropolitan College had asked teenagers to remove items

Staff said it was for safety and ensures people are ‘identifiable at all times’

By Matt Chorley, Mailonline Political Editor

A college which tried to ban pupils wearing the full facial veil for security reasons has abandoned the rule after a public outcry.

All students, staff and visitors to Birmingham Metropolitan College were told they must have their faces visible at all times so they are ‘easily identifiable’.

But the move was heavily criticised by some students, one describing the policy as disgusting. Nick Clegg said he was ‘uneasy’ about the idea.

More than 800 people claimed they planned to attend a protest against the policy today to stand up to what they said was an ‘Islamophobic’ decision.

David Cameron’s spokesman said the Prime Minister defended the right of educational institutions to be able to ‘set and enforce their own school uniform policies’.

But Deputy Prime Minister Mr Clegg said he felt ‘uneasy’ about a veil ban in a schools, although he could understand why it was needed to identify people at airport checkouts.

The college which has 44,000 students and is the third largest in the UK, said headwear poses a security risk and their policy ‘includes the removal of hoodies, hats, caps and veils so that faces are visible’.

This would stop female Muslim pupils from wearing the niqab, the full facial veil where only the woman’s eyes are visible, or the burqa where the eye area is covered in mesh.

But the college has now issued a statement saying it has decided to modify its stance to allow individuals to wear ‘specific items of personal clothing to reflect their cultural values’.

More than 9,000 people signed an online petition set up by NUS Black Students’ Campaign calling on the college’s principal Dr Christine Braddock to remove the ban.

SOURCE FOR MORE ON THE SURRENDER

And so little by little they will gnaw away the foundations. With the approval and encouragement of the lemmings and enablers of the left.
This is what the Death of the West looks like.  Expect more of the same.

I’m pretty sure that when it starts to happen in the USA on same scale, if it hasn’t started already, you folks back home won’t be very much surprised. But will anyone be in any position to halt the advance?  Depressingly, I doubt it.  Oh sure, there are millions of guns in the hands of private citizens.  But no organization worthy of the name.  And as you all know I am sure, you can’t make a move or a phone call or send an email or a snail mail but that agencies of the govt. will know everything you say and everything you plan. 
Wouldn’t it be nice if the field could be leveled, and numbers of folks desperate to save country and freedom, were able to infiltrate those agencies as well as get elected to public office and start taking charge of law enforcement agencies.  But I think that might take far more time than we have left.

Sorry for the downer folks.  I guess I’m reading and hearing and seeing too damn much, and find nothing that I find encouraging.

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.
