(NOTE: Being against Islamization is one thing, laying your grimy fingers on someone is completely another, and should be punished to the full extent of the law. Also, the black bag is a security risk, and an overt offensive garment towards men. Also, if they do not want men to see their faces, they should wear blinders so they can’t see other people’s faces either). The morons.
A young Muslim woman has spoken out after being attacked on the Metro for wearing her burka and face veil.
Yasmin Bint Shafiq, 22, was travelling on the Tyne and Wear Metro close to Manors Station when a man tried to pull her face veil from her head.
Other passengers were visibly uncomfortable with the situation but noone stepped in to help her.
Yasmin, from Whitley Bay, said: “There was a person behind me who I didn’t notice.
“There was a man about late twenties who came and sat next to me, he goes ‘I want to see your face.’
“I didn’t say anything so he put his arm around me, grabbed me and tried to pull, physically pull, my headscarf and my face veil off.
“His friends had to come and pull him off.”

There is currently £71 million budget gap in the council’s financial plan, which Labour blames on government cuts to council funding and what they call a “spending spree” by Mayor Lutfur Rahman.
Cllr Carlo Gibbs, Labour spokesperson for finance, said: “First the council is hit by deep and destructive budget cuts by the Tory government and now we see how the mayor’s out of control spending is making the situation much worse.”
The budget gap was also attacked by John Biggs, Labour candidate for mayor of Tower Hamlets and London assembly member for East Ham.
He said: “Instead of frantically trying to buy the next election with local peoples’ own money the mayor should be focused on policies which protect our community in the long term.”
