Is it time to unmask the muslim woman?

[Balti]

Get rid. Fine in some hard line muslim state if that's your weird bag but not in the UK ta.

How about these muslim bus drivers who won't allow guide dogs on to our buses cos Islam considers them unclean??!!

''The problem to carry guide dogs on religious grounds, has become so widespread that the matter was raised in the House of Lords last week, prompting transport minister Norman Baker to warn that a religious objection was not a reason to eject a passenger with a well-behaved guide dog''.

Fuck Islam or any other interest group that tries to put their own religious agenda before UK national standards. Seriously anyone should be welcome to live here but only if they accept the social norms of their host nation.

I think the Muslim women should be the only people who decide whether it is time to 'unmask'.

I don't want Muslims telling me what I can and can't wear and by the same token I don't want to tell them what to wear. Do unto others and all that.

so it's ok for christian women to be stopped from wearing a little cross under clothing but not for muslims to be stopped being rude, ignorant and cause public concern by covering their faces?

If you went round wearing a balaclava you would unnerve an awful lot of people so I don't see the difference, I also don't see "Allah" striking down the muslim women who don't wear it, so for me they should be banned.

No.

2 wrongs do not make a right.

Aren't we at war with the Taliban due to supposed oppression of the people? Why do we want to be exactly the same?

Every single man, woman and child on earth should be free to dress as they please. Just because a Muslim doesn't want us to wear a cross does not mean that we should petulantly want them to remove their clothing.

Do unto others.

NO! if christians can't wear a cross then muslims should NOT be able to wear a veil, the reasons there are laws is for the benefit of the majority, so realistically people can't do exactly as they want.

Is a cross a threat to security? no. Is a veil? potentially. Our country, our rules, we're not a muslim country, never have been, if other countries can ban it, then so should we.

Freedom to wear what you want isn't a valid argument then?



What is our culture based on? apart from fish and chips I thought it was supposed to be based on freedom.

People should be able to wear what they want when not in someone elses property. It's as simple as that.

so it's acceptable to not be able to see people's faces who could potentially be a concealed terrorist who's could be close to taking away other people's "freedom" by killing them?

There are more ways to conceal your facial identify. Bike helmets, hell even a beard and some big-ish sunglasses will do that.
And if you applied your line of reasoning (ie. give up freedom just incase something might happen) to other areas of life we'd be living in a f'ckin hellhole.
Anyway, the problem is terrorism - not the burka. Banning the Burka would not only be wrong from the standpoint of liberty but it'd also be counter productive.

So you would rather we're all denied rights instead of everyone being totally free to do as they please? That doesn't make sense to me.

Christians should be allowed to dress as they please without interference from Muslims and vice versa.

You seem to dislike Muslims for try to oppress us yet you want us to try to oppress them. Wouldn't you rather we all just got on with it?

No, that's not ok. Who says that it is?

cases of men wearing the veil, so yeah, it should be banned, it's not taking away freedom, it's protecting the people. Beards aren't relevant, bike helmets are removed and sunglasses the same, muslim women refuse to remove their veil in public, that's the issue.

Our government won't ban it because of the racist issue.

You come to our country, you respect and live by our rules. It's our culture to see someone's face. If we wore shorts in their country then we'd be arrested and thrown away without a trial.

Ninja's wear things similar to the burka so they can't be seen. Postboxes have the tiny slit so you can't see what's inside, you know?

Burka's belittle women, and the sooner they are deposited of in this country, the sooner we can get on to tackling things such as controlling immigration, concentrating on Afghanistan and stopping world terror.

in Abu Dhabi you can't kiss in public, why not if they can fully practise their faith here?

Meh im not too arsed about them if im honest. Was funny in Malaysia watching them boil alive whilst there husbands stood there in shorts and t shirt.

If you feel threatened buy a woman hiding her face then something very bad must of happened to you as a child lol
