'Thug' must pay his victim £1000, 16 week jail term suspended for 1 year, and 150 hours of community service.

His crime 'charge of religiously aggravated assault'.

An appropriate sentence or did he get off too light?

/// Ms Sidat, who has worn a niqab for 15 years, added: “I was born in this country and love this place. I just want to be treated like everyone else.” ///

BOO...we are not talking about ME........I was commenting on the fact that she said that she "wanted to be treated like everyone else".................then clearly it would be a first step to dress "like everyone else"

When someone came into hospital dressed not in the norm, he would be treated as the norm.....but I say again, it is HER that demands to be treated the same as everyone else despite dressing exactly the opposite to everyone else.

I think she meant like a human being sqad and treated with respect and courtesy- isn't that what we all want?

[Sqad]

please_sir/BOO

//////////His action was unforgivable.///////// Please read my initial reply.

I was just pointing out a reason why she MAY not be treated like anyone else.

[cazzz1975]

how would you be treated if you went to a muslim country wearing a vest and a pair of shorts or a mini skirt?

[Sqad]

please_sir......how many times do we have to say....his action was inappropriate.?

[Sqad]

please _sir if the guy was p1ssed, he might just as well pulled off a the turban of a Sikh and that would have been equally wrong.

[Bobbisox]

sqads words have been misconstrued a bit, he did say he deplored such actions,I agree if you dress differently then people will see you as just that, but like sqad, I think this d!ckhead should be punished heavily for his inhuman actions !!

That reply of dress like every one else reminds me of a young girl who was murdered in a park becasue she choose to dress differently. She was a goth. Did she deserve to be beaten to death because she didn't dress to suit every ones elses view of normal?
There is no normal. There is fashion and style. And thank heavens for it because I would hate to live in a world full of track suits and baseball caps.
. Would the same apply to some one wearing a nuns habit

Head and shoulders completely covered with only the eyes showing?
Sounds like most of the scallies around here.
Muslim women do wear clothes like what we wear, they're not dissimilar to British youths.

If we should all look the same, then by extension should we all have to act the same? And if we're not expected to act the same, then why should we be expected to dress the same?

Sqad - just curious. Whilst you have called the actions deplorable (something it seems everyone agrees with) it also seems apparent that you can understand why this has happened.

If a teenage girl was wearing provocative clothing and then was raped, would you consider it her own fault, and if she had been wearing sensible clothes it wouldn't have happened?
