See my previous post.

Why don't you just come out and say you hate all Muslims and anything they wear will set you off in angry hysteria.

who do you think someone opposing radical political islamism in western Europe is automatically a muslims hater?

do you suppose all muslims living in the west automatically oppose the face veil ban  just because they are muslims?

your reasoning is really extreme

Your rhetoric points me that direction.

Muslims living in the west, I assume, oppose the veil ban on a civil rights level not just because they are Muslim

Your rhetoric says the opposite. 

The links I posted show that even in some Muslim countries the ban is used for diverse reasons , so stop blaming western non muslim countries in the name of so called civil rights.  

there is a law - don't defy - even more when only 300 trespassers.   

I think there is a very big problem in allowing the wearing of a burqa or face veil because it is a civil rights issue. I think it is just as much a right to be able to confirm a persons identity , and as humans we do this by facial recognition. unless of course we start microchipping them! But it's not really the same is it?

 

Just as a matter of interest , who in this argument is female?

As a female I must add that I am very much against this practice being allowed in the west. Just forget about the religion part of it for a moment  and imagine a family made their daughters follow this practice, it would be a pretty extreme form of child abuse. To me it is just a terrible system of abuse covered up by the umbrella of religion.

I disagree with the ban in Muslim countries as well.

It's not democratic and it stifles human rights to tell someone they can't wear religious outfits.

So I don't care about your links.

I also think it's abuse for a parent to force this on their children.Every bit as much as a parent forcing the kids to church and wearing a crucifix.  But as an adult the women should have a right to choose.

But do they have "free choice" or are they so indoctrinated and brainwashed they are incapable of making a choice? I was made to go to Sunday school when I was young, but I dropped all that religious claptrap when I was old enough to make informed decisions.

If you were living in a community where most others were wearing a veil and it was accepted out in normal society just imagine how difficult it would be to resist the pressure! In a lot of cases teenagers would have to break themselves off completely in order to make that choice and that would be a feat very few would be capable of. They are dependent on parents for accommodation, money, food, schooling; just about everything. At least if these ( veils)were banned out in society , they might be able to work towards making that choice. Unless banned I would say on a realistic level that choice is not available.

Different argument which could be leveled at any religious person.

They still have the right of choice.

Agreed.

But like the Muslim women in the hijabs, many of your peers hung onto that Christian indoctrination. Would you ban them from wearing a crucifix?

Some muslim women in the UK chose to adopt a western lifestyle by using makeup, pursuing a career and dating a western man, and have been murdered for their choices.

A crucifix doesn't cover your face, in fact in most cases it's probably concealed by clothing.

These are adult women protesting.

According to your logic we should be banning Sunday school and crucifixes and Bar Mizvah

And that's an outrageous crime I don't condone. What's your point?

So what? You are using security issue to perpetuate an anti-Islam diatribe.

If that kind of pressure is brought to bear, what choices do they have, submit or die. I thought that was pretty obvious.

In my honest opinion it would be Stockholm Syndrome related. Sometimes people go to great lengths to justify what they have to suffer.

I'm anti brainwashing and subjugation, christian or muslim. I'm also anti TV preachers and religious fanatics of any denomination.

The women in Denmark didn't seem to be under that threat.

They're expressing their dislike of the law restricting their clothing decisians.

I agree with that, although I never see your anti Christian debates.

Just constant Muslim bashing.

I do absolutely agree with you that all religions are bad, but we need the right to choose if we want to follow garbage. Hence my defence of the Muslim ladies to protest.

You don't know what threat or what brainwashing has occurred, and quite honestly I'm bored discussing it with you any further. All I can say is that I applaud the Danes decision and I just hope they don't waver.

Slow down and read the link you post. The ban applied to security areas, otherwise....

 

"It’s understood women will still be required to cover themselves completely when out in public".

I said " for diverse reasons" some muslim countries .. so open your mind just a little bit to contradiction even when facts do not quite fit your views… opposing face-veil does not make you a Muslim basher. As I Believe most of muslims living in western non muslim countries claim burgas have Nothing to do with their religion. Unless you favour radical Islamism propaganda.    

 

maybe this one will suit you better, same cause, same effect

Just as some "extremist Islam" movements could be argued to be partially the result of "Western Imperialism"; logically there will be movements sprouting up in the West which will push against the islamification of our society.

Absolutely some of reasons for the conditions in the Middle East have been created by the West, but certainly not all. Just as it is argued that the Muslims rejected westernisation by becoming extreme, you will find that will work in the other direction. Major changes appearing in the west through mass migration will see an extreme reaction from the native population.

You will find that mass movement of asylum seekers / "migrants" into Europe has already significantly slowed down. IMO you are correct regards the threat of right of centre ideology, a threat, to repeat, which has already been articulated by our security forces. Accordingly I do not comprehend why so many on this forum applaud the rise of right wing extremism and express unfettered antagonism towards all Muslim - it is destructive for our societies.

What are you on about, I was highlighting your error of assumption. Chad has banned the burka, no surprise with Boko Haram committing so many atrocities.

 

"opposing face-veil does not make you a Muslim basher" - what a coincidence, nearly all the complaints in this topic are from the usual "muslim bashers" on this forum - LOL

 

Yeah sure the majority of Muslims worldwide do not wear a burka and yes not stipulated in the Koran. There again there is never a 100% consensus on overall interpretation, plus how many different groups / sects practising Islam - something like sixty five?

 

I ride a motorcycle but by Law i am required to remove my Helmet when entering Shopping Centers, Banks and other areas. On bitterly cold days I am required to remove my Balaclava or at least reveal my face. Why should any other group not be expected to do the same. Its about being able to identify people in the case of a crime. having Ones face hidden can make you a suspect or an unknown victim. In Islamic Countries this may be the norm. But in Western Countries it should not. In a Muslim Country I am expected to dress conservatively and My lady to wear a head scarf. So why should they not be bound by Our laws and Customs in a equally enforced way.

It is your right.

It shouldn't be banned. I don't like burkas but I also believe in the right to choose my own clothes.

Don't be so silly.

 

The burkha is NOT a style choice it is a statement. I reserve the right to tear down statements that are presented in my face.

 

These foul outfits are an abomination. They make the world an uglier place. They are like warts on the countenance of beautiful places.

 

Ban them.

Danes give their opinion of the ban.
