Because this is Britain, you cannot tell anyone what to do

He said that, as imam, he could not forbid Muslim women from standing for election, but he would be entitled to forbid his wife. “Because this is Britain, you cannot tell anyone what to do. I can tell my wife, but cannot tell other women, ‘You cannot do this and that',” he said.

So this thinks that he can order his wife what to do because he lives in Britain? I wish I had his cajones.

Talk about a bigoted mysogenistic outlook.

They can't understand my mainstream views and those of ‘live and let live' and how the British culture should be respected ... It has been extremely hard for me and my family and if it wasn't for my British constituents, I don't think I would have been able to get through it.”

Good for her. These medieval goons who are threatening her should be prosecuted for undermining the democratic process. Bring back the birch.

You just have to respect that. Brave woman by the way. But this isn't really that bad, imam acknowledges that he must respect brittish values and doesn't impose anything. Sucks to be his wife but he understands that religion is a personal thing, that's enough for me really.

Bring back the birch eh , and would the good man like a nice strong stick to beat the {lovely} lady with ?

[InsaneApache]

I'm sure that the rule of thumb might apply here.

Hurray for the taming of another shrew. True love is edgy, boys. I have personally spanked my wife more than once to set her some clear boundaries. I would do so again any time I find it necessary and she knows this. And she loves it. She hates to love it, but she does because she chose me as her partner for life, and as a man who would do what he thought she needed.

Somebody in Britain, explain that to the imam. Oh, and to Tribesy, because he doesn't seem to get it either.

I'm unclear on who the birch is to be used on (not in the clip; that's clear enough - tho' Thornton 'loses' the stick before he confronts the Brother-in-Law).

Funny how both the clip and the article, and our conversation, are all about assimilation of immigrants, Muslims to UK (today) and Americans to Ireland (in the 50's), yet with such different emphasis' on physical aggression.

This sort of thread again? I guess before we'll reach page five the acts of any non-Westerner to control, rape, maim, flog or murder women will have been, first, denied, next, 'put into perspective', then, defended by the left.
('It doesn't exist, and besides, we do it too')

Not, of course, that the rights of women (or homosexuals, or minorities) mean anything to the right unless and until they can foam about them being violated by non-Westerners.

Whatever. I'll go all noir and Adrian and leave it at this bit of dark sarcasm.


Oh, must not forget my usual statement: Fragony has got more brains than the entire European left combined. (No sarcasm.)

That's not possible, you're a Brit!!!

Adrian , you have gone off on some strange tangent that only you can percieve .
