General - Ban the Burqa - View Post

Stop quoting each other, it's getting too long.

Kasz, the swastika ban is still a law from just after WWII. Unlike the US, Nazi's were on our soil. If it was correct to ban it then is irrelevant now.

Unbanning it now would piss off the large Jewish community that lives Antwerp. We don't want to piss them of, they control a large portion of the diamond industry in Antwerp.

More than 80% of the world consumption of rough, polished and industrial diamonds passes through Antwerp. Why take the risk, it's not on the top 10 of things do to of the governemnt. And can you blame them? Nobody is asking for the ban to be reversed, so again why take the risk?

The law is symbol, and it's not like the law does anything, so extremist can't use the swastika on campaign posters. Whoopiedoo, that's about it. It isn't blurred out in documentaries, movies, etc. Hell, Mein Kampf is for sale in Belgium.
