Hey American - (A 'Ground Zero Mosque' song)
America isn't easy. Principle isn't easy. Living our principles takes genuine courage. Sometimes it's painful. Sometimes it's just plain hard. But if we are to be the people or the country we claim to be, we must live by the principles upon which this nation was founded — or they are not principles... but pleasant and "convenient possibilities". - DAVID IPPOLITO, New York City

Tories refuse to ban full face veils, Tariq Ramadan vs Mona Eltahawy on the Niqab
The Tories practice the cancer of the left… “political correctness”. Whilst other countries around the world (including Muslim countries) are banning the full face veil in certain situations, the UK is falling over itself to appease. Strange how it’s not allowed to cover your face with a motorbike crash helmet in places like banks,
What does the coalition government get out of it’s stance in shutting down all debate? Is the UK a democracy?
