Asian men in burkhas rob jewellers
My, my, my. More big bad Muslim men hiding (literally) behind women's dresses. If they did that in Iran, they'd be killed as homosexuals. At least the politicos in Scotland are siding with merchants who for safety reasons may choose to deny entry to anyone covering their face.

Asian men in burkhas rob jewellers
GERRY BRAIDEN April 06 2009
Two Asian men wearing traditional female Muslim dress and carrying handbags have robbed a jewellery shop in a possible copycat of an international spate of thefts. The pair wore black Muslim dress, including headwear which completely covered their faces, as well as sunglasses, when they carried out the attack.
The raid on the ATAA Jewellers in Glasgow's Great Western Road resembles thefts in Edinburgh, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt and London, where a robber has dressed as a wealthy Muslim woman to take jewellery worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.
The disguise prompted one prominent Scots-Asian politician to say retailers would be "perfectly within their rights" to deny entry to anyone wearing a burkha or niqab.
Hanzala Malik, a Glasgow councillor for 14 years and in whose ward Saturday's raid took place, said he was concerned this was a copycat event and that while it would be unfortunate for a Muslim women in religious dress to be denied access, safety concerns should outweigh this.
