Jack Stravinsky and the Muslim Veil Controversy

We are against Jack Straw's statement.

We want more Muslim women to wear the veil. We want more Asians - Muslims, Sikhs (like this gent), Hindus - to stay dressed as Asians.

We do not want Asians to wear mini skirts, jeans, baseball hats...

We WANT the Asians to stay separate. We do not want to assimilate - and we do not want these people to assimilate with us.

Jack Straw has made this statement to appear 'hardline' to those supporting the Neo Con 'War on Terror', whilst also appearing moderate to Asians/Muslims who are wary of the growth of the veil-wearers. He knows John Reid [the possible next Labour leader] is popular for being 'hardline on Muslim terrorism' and he wants a slice of that pie.

We don't want Asians living here to become Anglicised. The more separate these people are, the more in touch with their homelands and their cultures, the easier it will be to repatriate them to their ancestral homelands.

And that goes for Asian Muslims, as much as it does for Hindus, Jews, and also Christian West Indians.

Some Neo Cons on the right will whoop up Straw's remarks but say that 'he doesn't go far enough' -- the same Neo Cons who have dropped repatriation as a solution to the problem of multi-racism and multi-culturalism.

They are buffoons - the stormtroops of the Daily Mail, the political street force of Cheney and Bush!

Straw is wrong. The Neo Cons are wrong. Assimilation is wrong!

Pakistanis, or any other Asians or Arabs or Africans belong in their countries - NOT ours.

Keeping separate identities is the first step... as the politician Mr Stravinsky, sorry Mr. Straw [the name his family changed it to] knows full well.
