You’ve still yet to present an explanation for why women wearing burqas shouldn’t be forced to remove them temporarily so the police can check. If a muslim woman commits a crime and is wanted by the police how are they going to check when she’s wearing a burqa? If you can’t defend your opposition, quit complaining. You’re an utterly ridiculous human being.
@ Tom: Where exactly did anyone say that people wearing a burqa should never ever have to show their faces?
Tom: “You’re an utterly ridiculous human being.”
LOLZ
@Tom
You gotta stop speaking gibberish, I know you think you sound intelligent, but you really don’t.
Oh Tom,
I’ll give you what you want— please get on your white horse and save all of us MMW writers. We’re itching to be saved from our burqas. ‘
PS- Art of trolling? You fail at it.
