Comments on: “Hijab gates” bring out the bigots http://www.blogistan.co.uk/blog/mt.php/2010/02/16/hijab_gates_bring_out_the_bigots Politics, tech and media issues from a Muslim perspective Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:32:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Brick Lane resident http://www.blogistan.co.uk/blog/mt.php/2010/02/16/hijab_gates_bring_out_the_bigots#comment-41199 Brick Lane resident Sun, 24 Oct 2010 23:17:18 +0000 http://www.blogistan.co.uk/blog/mt.php/2010/02/16/hijab_gates_bring_out_the_bigots#comment-41199 One of the councilors said they design was loosely based on a hijab. Anyway most people object to (a) they are ugly (b) Tower Hamlets is a poor borough and they cost 2M pounds and (c) there were 156 objections by local residents but the council ignored them and went ahead. Stop crying 'bigot' every time anyone disagrees with you. One of the councilors said they design was loosely based on a hijab.

Sorry these are just normal arches to me & even the designer did not mention anything about these as faith-specific to Islam (or are they pointy Muslim arches in disguise taking over Britain mwah haHa!) What with so-called "Mega"-mosques, minarets & the veil-wearing fair sex being power symbols, this is a sign of civilisational angst gone pathological. Utterly Quixotic - keep taking the tablets folks. Talk about Tilting at Windmills!

I highly doubt people would have been up in arms if a sculpture depicting Jewish cultural life were being planned. But my true feeling is what a waste of bloody time and money and isn't it ugly!
