I haven’t read/listened to it yet but what’s so objectionable about the phrasing?

Surely there are clashes of cultures (if not “civilizations”) happening in the cities and towns of countries all around the world.

I don't think clash of civilizations is a fatuous term. What do you call this sort of thing?

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/sydney-nsw/burqa-wearers-need-face-to-face-witness/story-e6freuzi-1226288785058

LAWYERS and JPs will have to ask women wearing burqas to show their faces before witnessing their signatures under tough new state laws.

The move to "burqa-proof" identity checks follows a public outcry following last year's controversial Carnita Matthews case.

Ms Matthews, a Muslim, had her conviction overturned for knowingly making a false statement accusing a police officer of racism because the prosecution could not prove that she had signed the statement.

The 23-year-old JP who witnessed the signature of a woman wearing a full black niqab had assumed it was Ms Matthews but had not asked her to show her face.

Attorney-General Greg Smith said the case highlighted the need for change and the new laws, to begin on April 30, would minimise the risk of fraud.

"They will require authorised witnesses, such as JPs and lawyers, to see a person's face and confirm their identity before signing their statutory declaration or affidavit," Mr Smith said.

The new laws cover the witnessing of legally binding documents including statutory declarations and affidavits and include all face coverings including motorcycle helmets, masks, veils, scarves, niqabs and balaclavas.



Liberalism and Islam seem to clash quite a bit,.

the "clash of civilizations" in question is just class struggle. thanks for the heads up, this was pretty good, the talk at least, haven't listened to the q&a yet. in fact i need to figure out if theres an rss feed for the questions because thats how ive been keeping track of what they publish but the questions don't make it into the feed so for a minute i was feeling mildly ripped off that it seemed to only be 2 hours and not 3
