OT - Boris Johnson and the Freedom of Speech

[Manofpride]

Can't see either of my sons wearing a Burka I also doubt they would court and wed a girl they couldn't see (and more) prior to the wedding night.

If your son married a muslim girl and they had a daughter, would it bother you if your granddaughter was wearing a burka?

Yes. Because I was born into an open society where the face tells you a lot about others with whom you interact. Your words can lie but the face often tells the truth. People moving into an open society should follow that society's custom.

The Queen, Maggie T and Mayhem. All 3 would wear a head scarf or similar when visiting Muslim countries. Adhering to the local custom. Dignatories visiting Israel always wear a keppel, respecting local custom.

Muslims move to Western countries and want to bring their Sharia Law with them and their clothing customs that go against our Western customs ane we are supposed to respect that. How about short term, long term and permanent visitors to the UK respecting UK custom and not cover their faces.

This respecting others customs looks very much like a one way street.

Absolutely no idea who Willie Deel is. So I had a look on tinterweb....

I found one female who emigrated to America years ago and lost touch with her Dutch family and finally reconnected with them when she was 99. Unfortunately she was terminally ill so the contact didn't last long. He is probably not referring to her.

The only other close name that might be what he is on about due to his pronunciation is Willie Dille. She was a politician. Dutch MP from 2010 to 2012 for the PVV, that is Geert Wilders' party, right wing populist whose main platform is anti anything remotely connected to Islam. She has been a councillor in the Hague since then. Two years ago she said she had been raped by a group of Muslim men. She also refused to report the incident to the police or name the perpetrators. 4 days ago she committed suicide. Willie was, like Boris, a blonde.

Apart from the above, I have no idea to whom or to what your friend might be referring.
