I was in Malaysia and the Sikhs there are the only people exempt from the helmet law.
That would open up a pandoras box here. Reverse discrimination suits would be crazy.

We have schools that teach their language, we have children who can not speak a word of English ,their gran parents can not speak english.
When you are is a shop the ones that can speak english reverty to their laguage when you are arround very rude.

We have new house build that are saved for none english comming into this country.
They take money out of the coffers and put nothing back they end up with houses hand outs and we have to earn our keep and thier's

All this and we bend ourselves back wards to accomodate their believes.

Don't be like us English we are to soft and stupid and our country is going down hill at a fast rate.

Dont get me wrong I work with some very good people from other religions that put somthing back into the coffers.
it those who don't and want us to change us and our laws.

thats why 300.000 of us are leaving each year.

abide by our laws,get in the quew like the rest of us,pay your own dudes and stop poncing of us we are paying for them and thier families abroad this isnot fair play.

stand up, the law it is there and all should abide by it.

Actually he is from India and of the hindu faith. Just because he wears a religious head garb does not make him a muslim radical.
[sm=WTFsgign.gif]Where did that come from?
Well that is actually true as the Hindu's in India have been at war with the Muslims in Pakistan & Afghanistan for many years over the Kashmir region. He probably likes Muslims less than many Americans do. That said I don't believe anyone has a "constitutional right" to ride a motorcycle. It is a choice to partake in a priviledge granted and licensed and regulated by the government.

No, I was saying WTF because nobody had said anything about "radical muslims", or him being one.

There was a reference to "Canuckistan" which would denote a Muslim country. Which is not unusual. There is a large Sikh population here in Cleveland that has faced backlash since 9/11. Most Americans are not educated to know the difference between between Hindu's and Muslims.
