obadiah777: SHE DONT LOOK TOO BAD. SHE WILL HEAL. MUST HAVE BEEN WEAK ACID

coogar: a man could have worn the hijab.......
the british authorities are cowards - they have been told to ban hijabs but it seems they have no cojones to do it. france have done it - why can't britain. all forms of masks in public should be banned including hoodies, balaclavas, etc.

however, i am disappointed in the met. police!
the attack happened in dagenham, there must be hundreds of cctv around that area. they can trail her digital footprint if they want to. i have no doubt if the victim was white they would be putting more effort to catch the culprit!

Brand_new: Did you say weak acid? Means there are more potent ones?
Chineke me!

vislabraye: I wonder what the women movement are doing about this. They're fighting against, "female circumcision, women drinking blood of their husband etc". But this covering of veil is bad.

We should be careful of culture and tradition

obama'sbabe:
In my opinion she knows the cause of the attack. Most of these young girls will not leave people's husbands alone not knowing it hurts and such affairs can destroy peoples' homes. Well I may do same cos I never dated any body's husband while single.

obadiah777: OH YEAH THE ONES WHITE GUYS USE ON THEIR WIVES ARE MORE POTENT. IT DISSOLVES THE SKIN AND LIGAMENTS AND ALL THE FACIAL FEATURES STICK TOGETHER AND MELTS. THE ONE USED ON HER ONLY AFFECTED HER SKIN. ALL HER FACIAL FEATURES REMAIN INTACT WHICH IS GOOD NEWS FOR HER. WHEN SHE SHEDS AWAY THE BURNT SKIN SHE WILL LOOK THE SAME BEFORE THE ATTACK

okunoba: @ijebabe:, Tradition does not make everything right, was it not tradition to use human beings as sacrifice in most parts of Africa until the Europeans banned it, was it not the tradition in calabar to kill twins until our colonial masters stopped it. Please lets look at issues based on logic not because it`s our tradition, culture or religion. These things are meant to be dynamic not stagnant, change is part of growing up. We can`t keep on holding on to things just because our forefathers did it that way. Based on your reasoning maybe we should go back to the culture of enslaving our fellow black brothers since it was our tradition before Britain put a stop to it by force. We should be governed by reason not tradition from the dark ages.

ijebabe:
It is obvious you did not understand my post. Afam made reference to religious tradition, I was only saying that tradition still remains tradition. Christians will argue that God said a woman's role is to cook and not the man. When we know its just traditions brought into religion.

Banning the nijab based on these crimes is pointless and no one has the right to strip that away, secular society or not. That's my argument. I am not supporting crimes or wicked traditions.

logica: Aha...I spoke too soon. I love this post.

Osahon7: DAMNN!!! AND SHE IS A NIGERIAN OH...EDO STATE PERSON**frm the names**

claremont: I can't believe people are blaming the wearing of a hijab for this attack. What difference would it have made if the attacker did not wear a hijab?! The young lady was attacked by a masked person, the fact that the person used a hijab to mask him/her self shouldn't be an issue of debate.

I'm an Atheist, but I believe a secular society like Britain should allow people to practise the basic tenets of their faith; and if wearing a hijab is an integral part of the faith of some people, then so be it.

I hope you know the killing of twins is also part of the faith of some people, should it also be permitted?
