What Would You Do Women Dressed all in Black?
 
Interesting experience on the Bakelooo Line at the weekend. The
carriage had about 20 people in it, mainly scattered around. At Oxford
Circus two women (sans male escorts) entered one end of the carriage
and sat down. They were dressed all in black - like they do in Iraq /
Iran. They had the real slitty-eyed look. Well quite a few people
looked at them and then at each other and suddenly decided that they
really did not want to be sitting near them, and they moved towards
the other end of the carriage near where I was. Not that that would
have saved them in an emergency. One of two muttered "well you never
know do you?" I got off at Charing Cross, but noticed that by then the
two women had their end of the carriage all to themselves. What would
you have done? SB.

I don't think there would have been a general movement of people to the
other end of the carriage. I doubt most people would have registered
anything odd with a couple of 'slitty-eyed' passengers.

What's wrong with Japanese or Chinese women wearing black in public?

But I'll follow the general consensus that you are talking about Muslim
people here. I accept it as being a normal part of traveling in a city with
visitors and residents from around the world. If you didn't realise it, that
(racistly described) scene above happens every day on the Tube, mainline
trains, London buses and probably on the buses in other British cities.
That it happened on the weekend leads me to suspect that those moving away
were not regular London commuters but day visitors and tourists.

A long time ago many people in Portsmouth generally knew that HMS
Vernon dealt with things which go bang. Mines, torpedoes and that
sort of thing.

One day some sailors got on a crowded train to London with an oblong
package. They stood in a compartment and placed the package gently
on the luggage rack. Then one of them quietly remarked to another
that it was better if the contents of the package went across the
train, as the vibration was less.

A few minutes later one of the other passengers got out of their
seat, left the compartment and didn't come back. Then another did
so. Soon the sailors had a whole compartment to themselves.

The package was, of course, empty.

It does indeed. On my infrequent visits to London I have not noticed
people moving away from people dressed like this and neither have I
noticed it on public transport in other parts of the UK.

If they had been suicide bombers they would be acting alone to
maximise damge. Neither would they draw attention to themselves by
dressing in such an obvious manner. Perhaps moving to the other end of
the carriage placed people next to the real bomber who was standing
there incognito.

Such clothing is traditional for women to wear in some areas of the

There is some debate over whether it is religious or cultural. Some

am not an Islamic scholar but ISTM that it is more the latter, given
that it is (and has been) only worn in some places, no matter how

The subject of such clothing is being hyped by the unacceptable face

Two other religions also have the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Both of these have passages which can be read in a way that implies

The fact that its being hyped by some elements of the right doesn't mean
that plenty of women arn't being forced against their will to dress like
that. Just because the BNP or whoever make a big deal out of it doesn't mean
you can ignore the issue. Thats a typical Nu Labour approach and look where
its got them.

However, I have not noticed the unacceptable face of the right wing

No **** Sherlock. It may have escaped your attention that it is not
Jewish grandmothers or Catholic nuns who are attacking the citizens of
the UK.

Until the people of this country feel satisfied that the "moderate"
muslims are taking a rather more robust attitude by fingering these
extremists in their ranks, then they will remain completely distrusted
and disliked. That's a fact - get over it. The solution lies with
them, not with us.

Only because nuns are too busy baring their breasts and getting up to all
sorts of sexual hanky-panky with each other. I know it's true; I've seen the
films (only on video, but that's because it's supposed to be a secret).

Hence my comments about nuns. A nun's habit comes from the same cultural
background as the burka. Islam actually developed from early forms of
Christianity, though not the Roman variety.

However, I have not noticed the unacceptable face of the right wing

You might want to modify that comment, the right wing indulges in
anti-semitism as much as in islamophobia.

Well there was the Aldwych bus bomb, but he probably didn't mean it to be a
suicide bomb...

I believe David was referring to the IRA habit of phoning in a warning about
a bomb in one place and then detonating another just where the police were

I seem to recall that they sometimes claimed that it was just confusion,
not a deliberate attempt. It's certainly true that their warnings were
often unclear about the target, but that may sometimes have been because
of ignorance/panic/confusion.

Yeah right - get back to your glory hole at the back of the mosque
comrade. It'll be Friday soon and the camel shaggers will need a
service.

Until the people of this country feel satisfied that the "moderate"
muslims are taking a rather more robust attitude by fingering these
extremists in their ranks, then they will remain completely distrusted
and disliked. That's a fact - get over it. The solution lies with
them, not with us.


Oh **** Off you snivvelling little racist prick.

This is a forum about london transport, not about muslim clothing.

Since when did the IRA use suicide bombers?


I never claimed that they did. However, particularly in their later
years, they had a habit of sometimes placing a bomb where people
might congregate after moving away from a "bomb". Whether this first
"bomb" was real or not was somewhat immaterial, it was the second
one which was intended to kill and injure the most people.

It was sometimes claimed that this was to do with some fault, by the
person who got the warning and passed it on, or by the police, but
there are only so many times it can be used before that excuse is
untennable.

I seem to recall that they sometimes claimed that it was just confusion,
not a deliberate attempt. It's certainly true that their warnings were
often unclear about the target, but that may sometimes have been because
of ignorance/panic/confusion.


One of their claims was that the people used to telephone the
warning a little excited/worried and got the location wrong.

However, I have not noticed the unacceptable face of the right wing
having a go at these two religions.


So no jews are being targeted by the far right any more? You sure about that?


Absolutes are difficult. However, I think talk of a global Jewish
conspiracy and the like tends to come from other groups these days.
Certainly when such an attack is made on George Galloway's radio
programme it tends not to come from the right wing nuts but rather
the sort of Islamic nuts who give Islam a bad name.

Of course, this is another big difference between aQ and the IRA -- the
former are proud to kill innocent bystanders (who are most often
Moslems), the latter claimed to have no desire so to do.
