      Argument that veil (i) not conducive to integration but (ii) shouldn't be banned commonplace: hardly a brave piece of taboo-breaking. But, should a senior MP (would-be PM?) engage in personal jibes at women if he wanted to debate integration seriously?https://twitter.com/johnestevens/status/1026840898917859328 …

      Boris source: "It's ridiculous these views are being attacked - we mustn't fall into the trap of shutting down the debate on difficult issues. "We have to call it out. If we fail to speak up for liberal values then we're simply yielding ground to reactionaries & extremists"

      I’m no fan of Boris but his attack and mockery was clearly aimed at the appearance of the clothing, not the women wearing it. In a free society, we should be free to criticise any aspect of any religious ideology.

          We should be free to criticise all aspects of religious ideology: commitment to free religious expression appears stronger in UK than Europe. Absolutely fine for people to say why they think full veil is barrier to integration & content. I do think his tone was badly misjudged.

          Worryingly there are masses of tweets stating 1) it is racist to criticise clothing (it isn't) and 2) that criticising religion shouldn't be permitted. We are not in pre Renaissance times. Religion of any kind is a perfectly acceptable target for criticism and ridicule.

          Free to ridicule anybody. By same token, free to criticise political leaders for the choices they make about how they do that. In my view, sober/serious critique of full veil is fine; those jibes seem to me badly misjudged in a world where women do get shouted at in the street.

          Critiquing politicians is not only reasonable but laudable. I'm slightly surprised at the style of delivery but defend Boris's right to do so, as well as your right to critique. I do think the message (rejection of a ban) is more important than the style of delivery though.

          We’re not facing up to the fact that a male patriarchal culture is making the decisions here. That does need to be attacked. It’s blindingly obvious Boris isn’t attacking the women.

          Here is a good piece on the topic, from Rabiha Hannan of New Horizons in British Islam @n_Horizons Shifting share of voice - across genders, across generations; empowering Muslim women matters. (I don't see that Boris Johnson's column tried to do that)http://www.britishfuture.org/articles/debate-the-veil-dont-ban-it/ …

          This reminds me of Boris Johnson's genuinely good clothing joke: that Jeremy Corbyn was about vested interests and "interesting vests"

          The snowflakes and Liberals in our society have tried to shutdown any debate or comments involving Islam or Muslims. A very sad day in what was once the most tolerant country in the world.

          If Boris had said that nuns look like penguins, this wouldn't even be a story. The left has some strange crush on Islam, and rush to defend even its most abhorrent practices.

          Free to criticise of course. However the manner in which he did it was pretty disrespectful. I'm also free to criticise his godshiteness. I can also criticise his suitability for public office based on his comments.
