Isn't this left wing PC propaganda exactly why so many have concerns about both Islam and PC. This left wing Western idiot is suggesting that all women should in time be 'forced' in one way or another to wear a headscarf to appease Muslims.

As a woman I for one will NEVER 'comply' with such garbage. Thoughts please!

A very misleading thread, if you can't post the whole article then do not cherry pick the parts that suit your agenda since it's not representative of what's been said and leads to a flawed discussion.

I have already explained why I couldn't copy the link across, but it is now there for all to see. As many do I quoted the bit I was objecting to and gave my opinion, so what exactly is your issue with that.

Ask. ASK. Not force. He is talking about ASKING women to VOLUNTARILY wear a headscarf out of solidarity with women who do so for religious reasons, if there comes a day when they are to be "banned". He is not talking about forcing anyone to do anything. Because he also specifically says;

"It is every woman’s right to always dress how she wants, that is my opinion on the matter,” he told an audience of school pupils."


A valiant effort to twist something into fearful propaganda though Brillo. Shame that DR ruined it for you by actually linking to the source material you cherry picked out of context comments from.

You claim not to read it that way for obvious reasons. You are attempting to be funny and insulting in the same breath. Once again you proved her right.

It doesn't change the fact that, if you actually wanted to represent the actual story, then you could have typed out a sentence or two more from the article that balanced out your bias and gave us something solid to discuss.

It doesn't matter what little bits you conveniently quote people can read.

I think you need to be able to read someone's face when you have an important conversation.

Fortunately we don't have such rules of dress here. The only western uniform restrictions is, no women walking around topless or anyone walk around naked and its frowned upon if you walk to your local shop in your dressing gown and slippers. Other than that, we are free to wear what we want.

Is it okay for someone to walk around in a hooded robe with KKK plastered all over it or teeshirts with very offensive racist comments/gay comments. I don't know the precise rules on this but I would imagine not. The burkha/niqab are equally as offensive to women's rights to equality.

I'd imagine limiting a woman's choice of clothing by banning head dresses is also offensive to women's rights as it's dictating what they can or cannot wear. Banning an item of clothing that doesn't incite hatred is a pointless endeavour, I think restricting it like you would a hoodie or a mask in certain places is fine but a ban is flawed.
