Should be banned anyway, everywhere, for security reasons.
Or banned when ENTERING somewhere with cctv. Like balaclavas and motorbike helmets are. But we cant say 'oh I/the camera needs to see your face' now can we

Well I am sorry but I am glad some Countries are banning it now,in these days of terrorism etc, I think 'all' citizens and people and children everywhere should be able to see very clearly who they are with in buildings, shops/stores and sharing the streets and all public places with.
With no exceptions whatsoever. Last edited by joeysteele; 04-02-2011 at 03:14 PM. |

westerners have to adjust what they wear to suit muslim countries. But they can wear what they want even if it demeans an entire gender and influences our children in a backwards and negative way? young girls in this country deserve better role models than a woman covered up head to toe. That represents oppresion and stone age mentality. |

All hail the Moyesiah

I like the fact that we're more tolerant than most Islamic countries though, and that we dont impose our own beliefs onto every single citizen of our country

well, besides the fact the I believe it's oppressive towards women, as others have pointed out, from a security point of view as well it makes sense.

I don't even need to point out how wrong this post is. Your whole argument is just a bunch of assumptions based on a minority of Muslims.

Yeah so I read, should be quite amusing if a muslim runs with this to the ECHR on "religious" grounds and challenges the bans on it, especially if the court backed the right to wear and declared the ban illegal.

At least nuns have the excuse of their habits, (which incidentally do NOT cover their faces) actually being a religious requirement UNLIKE the burka which is simply a MALE requirement to subjugate females and enforce OWNERSHIP of and AUTHORITY over their women. Unfortunately that sort of mindset is a couple of centuries out of date and has no place in this country. Let's just bring back chastity belts as well shall we? And how about chaperones for unmarried women, compulsory male guarantors if women want to take out credit or buy a house etc etc?
Women have had to fight long and hard for equality and the burka represents a massive backward step. The main objection is not the fact it is a head to toe coverup, it is the fact that the FACE is concealed. This is not only a huge security risk but also promotes separation from the rest of the community and hinders integration. Irrespective of cultural/religious arguments, There is NEVER any reason at all to allow people to move amongst us with total anonymity in this day and age of heightened terror alerts. No doubt if people chose to walk about stark naked or copulate in public we'd have the usual suspects telling us it's their choice and we have no right to object. |

Now you're being deliberately disingenuous - of course veils are worn at such ceremonies, but they are NOT worn 24/7 as you well know. To walk around in Britain today totally unidentifiable is unacceptable, and unfortunately the muslim community are doing themselves no favours when they insist on us respecting their culture and then don't have the decency and consideration to respect ours. I am particularly outraged at the two muslim councillors, ironically from the Respect Party, who refused to honour Matt Croucher who won the George Cross. Such bloody hypocrisy.

No danger of that happening seeing as how the wearing of the Burka is NOT a religious requirement - and I defy anyone on this forum to find such a dictat in the Qu'ran.

Also the requirement is removed if she is on pilgrimage. (Ihram) The point I was making unless the ban is enforced reference bridal veils etc, it could be seen by the buffoons of ECHR as being discriminatory on religious/cultural grounds |

The correct view as indicated by the evidence is that the woman’s face is ‘awrah which must be covered. It is the most tempting part of her body, because what people look at most is the face, so the face is the greatest ‘awrah of a woman Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid is a quite well respected Islamic jurist albeit not very moderate in his beliefs.
