Many people who oppose a ban on burkas and similar clothing also criticise people who wear them. Whether people have the right to choose what they wear and whether they are foolish to wear particular clothing are two distinct questions and should not be combined.

The idiosyncracies of the Turkish police compared with E.U. policw services probably derive from those connexions with the determinedly secular armed forces rather than from islam.

Quite a few deivers have been fined for behaviour of this sort. Obviously they haven't been fined enough.

The diet may have been unsuitable for your other health problems but bodily reserves of vitamins would see you through eight days, though the psychological effects of knowing you would become vitamin-deficient would kick in sooner. Incidentally, what does low blood pressure have to do with your diet? I have low blood pressure myself and I understood it meant you don't need to worry about all of the enjoyable but heart-attack inducing foods we're meant to abandon in middle age.

Unlike France there is no state commitment to secularism so what people wear oir don't wear is entirely up to them, just as it is entirely up to other people whether they laugh at what people wear..

"? If I had said "We should remove people who behave llike that from the human genepool to everyone else's benefit. " you might have had a point, The same applies to your blanket condemnation of eugenics: it is just as much a latter of eugenics to recommend that people do not marry their first cousins- especially if most of their ancestors had married their forst cousins- as it is to abort the severely disabled foetuses produced by people who disregsrded that advice and married their first cousins.

The second half of my last comment said the same thing asmy earlier post. It seems that you respond to the way things are said, not to what is said. All religions have religious kooks by definition. Indeed, religions are made up of religious kooks. Unfortunately,the particular forms of kookiness inspired by islam means that many muslims have difficulty adjusting to contemporary european society.

I mereky think that if people are willing to die for their religious beliefs rather than accept medical treatment I don't mind if they die either. I prefer them to religious fanatics who are willing to kill for their religious beliefs.

Muslims are estimated to be 4-5% of the total population, and most Muslims in Germany are Turks. Adding the 'unknowns' to the data as Muslims would mean that Muslims make up 9% of the total population in Germany today, and that Turks make up just a third of that." You have assumed that all of the 3% of the Turkish population of Germany are muslim here. The figures you give are absolute maximums and I merely made it plain that the actual numbers- with Turks as with others- are undoubtedly smaller.

That is probably why the authorities only learned of children's illnesses after their deaths. The worrying thing is that- as the OP says- there "may be others which are not documented." Infact, there probably are others-the surprising- and good- thing is that they are working tomake sure they can intervene before it is too late.
