Any person that wants to burqa or bugga should go back to Arab countries and remain there. No space for terrorist ninjas in free world countries

The Muslims overplayed their hand in Europe and it will get worse for them from here. You survived through a desert, swam across an ocean to escape the evil Islamic regime in your home country, and once Europe gives you the kind of freedom, economy and opportunities your Islam never gave you, you start aggressively trying to transform their land into the same unbearably backward and terror ridden dung hole you came from. It is so unbelievable.

Read and understand.
The ban is protecting forceful wearing of burqa which is normal. Anyone who understands the principle of Islam will wear it without being forced. Because she knows is a core requirement for her being a Muslim.

Also the bill will scale further readings.
Lastly, it's only apply to face covering and not the entire jilbab. If after the final readings and it was banned, Muslim communities in Portugal should seek legal redress. If Allah wills, you will win and if it is the opposite, be patience. Continue with jilbab. Persecution of Muslims is not a new thing. Endure it and at the end you shall be victorious.

Finally, some good news. Any country with a shred of sanity should slam the door on this backward crap. If you’re so obsessed with wrapping yourself up in that stuff in the name of your religion, pack your bags and crawl back to your Islamic country. Don’t bring that nonsense to the west, and don’t expect the free world to bow to it.
Islam is a backward religion

I’m really concerned. Why aren’t these Muslim migrants heading toward wealthy nations like the UAE, Qatar, or Saudi Arabia? Why is their main destination always Europe or America? I honestly pity Europe, it feels like the continent is on a dangerous path. These movements seem very strategic. They might eventually destabilize Europe from within. How many Palestinian refugees have the UAE, Saudi Arabia, or Qatar accepted since the conflict began?

The law is forbidding wearing of the burqa in public places. It's quite clear and simple.

How we foiled Jonathan’s effort to make Mulika Adeola Speaker, Akande reveals

AS president in 2011, Goodluck Jonathan did all he could to ensure South West grabbed the country’s number four seat, including lobbying then opposition leaders from the zone, to no avail. The North West eventually grabbed the seat, supported by South West leaders in opposition to then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Former Governor of Osun State and now statesman, Chief Bisi Akande, made this revelation in his autobiography, “My Participations” which is currently dominating political and national dis- course.

Aminu Tambuwal, now Sokoto State governor, won the seat, against the preferred pick of his party, Mrs Mulikat Adeola Akande, from the South-West. Defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, then a fledging opposition, which had Akande and his soulmate, former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, as front- line leaders, openly asked its elected members of the House of Representatives, mostly from the South-West, to work against their region and back Tambuwal from North-West.

The opposition party’s support carried Tambuwal through the contest against Akande, then ruling party’s favourite for the speakership seat.

In his book, Chief Akande revealed that former president then as incumbent, personally reached out to Tinubu, who is now believed to be nursing presidential aspiration in 2023 and himself, but couldn’t convince them.

He wrote, “President Jonathan, immediately after the meeting (with political parties), called Bola Tinubu aside into a lobby to broach the matter of ACN support for a choice of who would become the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

“That same day, President Jonathan talked to me on phone about the same matter. He disclosed that PDP had zoned the position to the South-West but that only one Muraina and another Mulika won elections on PDP ticket from the zone into the House of Representatives.

What freedom of dressing and worship is there in Arab countries for western women and men huh

Traditionally, women wear an abaya [a long robe or cloak that covers the whole body] over their everyday clothing.

As for men, they can wear anything from the traditional thobe [a long-sleeved, gownlike garment] to jeans and a T-shirt. In 2019, Saudi introduced the “Public Decency Law,” which explains what does and does not count as good attire in public for ladies and gentlemen.

Basically, loose-fitting clothing that covers to the elbow and below the ankle is recommended for both men and women in public.

Muslim Jihadists will conquer and overrun Europe with time. Give them maybe 50 more years from today.


And I am not pitying Europeans because it seems that is how karma and nature will reward them for their evil against Africans, especially British government atrocities against Igbos in Nigeria. They will definitely pay for those wickedness they perpetrated in Nigeria during the civil war and after the civil war, they can never go scold free, never.



Of course London is gradually being overrun by hardcore Muslim Jihadists already, so it's just a matter of time

Is persecution of Christians in Islamic countries a new thinghuh

A Christian in Pakistan has gone into hiding along with his wife and six children after a Muslim mob accused him of blasphemy for posting a Bible verse on Facebook.

Last Thursday, June 29, Haroon Shahzad posted 1 Corinthians 10:18-21 regarding food sacrificed to idols. He didn’t include any additional commentary in his post besides the Bible passage. A Muslim villager screenshot the post and accused Shahzad of blasphemy. Muslims were beginning the festival Eid al-Adha in which an animal is slaughtered for the celebration.

The screenshot of the Christian’s post circulated on local media, and on Friday a local mosque made an announcement on loudspeakers prompting Muslims to gather in protest. Shahzad and dozens of other Christian families fled the village.

The often cited biography titled Madame Tinubu: Merchant and King-maker, authored by Nigerian historian Oladipo Yemitan, paints her views regarding slave trading.

On one occasion, during her final sojourn in Abeokuta, she was alleged to have sold a young boy into slavery and was accused of it. When arraigned before Ogundipe Alatise over the matter, she reportedly explained: 'I have a large house-hold and I must feed them well. I need money to do that, that's why'.

— Oladipo. Yemitan, 'Madame Tinubu: Merchant and King-maker'

Another section of Yemitan's Tinubu biography, referred to as the Amadie-Ojo Affair, captures a slave trading deal gone sour in 1853 (notably after the 1852 Treaty abolishing slavery in Lagos) wherein Tinubu tells another slave trader (Domingo Martinez) that "she would rather drown the slaves [20 in number] than sell them at a discount".

Slavery in Japan

Japanese slave women were even sold as concubines to Asian lascar and African crew members, along with their European counterparts serving on Portuguese ships trading in Japan, mentioned by Luis Cerqueira, a Portuguese Jesuit, in a 1598 document.

Japanese slaves were brought by the Portuguese to Macau, where some of them not only ended up being enslaved to Portuguese, but as slaves to other slaves, with the Portuguese owning Malay and African slaves, who in turn owned Japanese slaves of their own.

Hideyoshi was so disgusted that his own Japanese people were being sold en masse into slavery on Kyushu, that he wrote a letter to Jesuit Vice-Provincial Gaspar Coelho on 24 July 1587 to demand the Portuguese, Siamese (Thai), and Cambodians stop purchasing and enslaving Japanese and return Japanese slaves who ended up as far as India. Hideyoshi blamed the Portuguese and Jesuits for this slave trade and banned Christian proselytizing as a result.

Yes, you heard it right. Other more advanced muslim countries don’t want their fellow Muslims from countries with lower standards of living to come in undecided

I pity the west, being too liberal and accepting will get you hurt real bad. Culture will eat anything system for breakfast. When you have people with a culture for subjugating women, tendency for violence for even speaking against their “god”, promoting law that goes against freedom of expression and secularism; and these people are coming in drives as the case with UK. It is just a matter of time, before they start suppressing your liberal system. You think Trump doesn’t know he is doing his immigration policy.

I have muslims as family members, but with the state of the world, terrorism and things; if i were a President of an advance country, do you think i would allow any of them to wear burqa in public; looking like egungun while i am combating insecurity undecided of cuz not I want camera in public spaces to pick faces. If you can’t comply get out the country.

That's because Dubai has realized that Islamic practices are backward and bad for business. So, they are westernizing to enable them move forward. If Dubai adopts Islamic laws, their businesses will die.

Just imagine. Na this one dey pain me pass. One old fool was blocking the entrance to a public space when they wanted to begin prayer, I asked him what's going on...and he stayed quiet. I was infuriated when I discovered it was because he wanted to pray and couldn't explain to me. I confronted him and told him why he couldn't communicate to me. He just went away. They keep acting like they can touch their god but they are nothing close to being decent human beings. Spits. Very dirty kettle wielding, brainwashed fools.

At least when you walk naked, you won't be able to hide weapon under your clothes and not pose security risk to other people.

Dressing like a masquerade in broad daylight can scare children and leave them with PTSD.
