webfact Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 ISIS HUMILIATED: Sick terror group BAN BURKA as THEY are attacked by women in veils By KATIE MANSFIELD ISLAMIC State has banned the burka in an embarrassing U-turn, declaring full-face veils are a security risk. The crazed jihadis' morality police previously forced women to wear the burka when in public across swathes of ISIS territory in Syria and Iraq. But in a humiliating U-turn ISIS has outlawed women wearing the veils in security offices in Mosul, Iraq. Previously women in ISIS strongholds have been beaten and killed by the so-called morality police for not covering their faces and bodies.

Steely Dan Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I wonder what some our esteemed members think, especially those who opposed Islamic face coverings in the West from being banned on grounds that it would be Islamophobic. 555Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caps Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Time for every Western Country to jump on the band wagon and get it banned also, surely if its good enough for IS its good enough for us 555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halloween Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 They've got a point, the odds of a female terrorist have to be considerably higher in Mosul than in Paris. When they realise what could be concealed beneath those muslim chique body bags, they'll have all their girls in halter tops (bra optional) and short shorts.

And yes, imposing a dress code on people just because of their religion is Islamaphobic....what's next, forcing them to sew yellow stars on to their jackets? The irony might be lost on you....

It is cultural dress. It is a common misconception that the burqa is Islamic as even the author of the OP has when he writes The ban comes amid increasing controversy over the garment, which is traditionally worn by Muslim women. There are many Muslim women that do not wear it, traditionally or otherwise. Probably the greatest success of radical Islamists is to convince the western world of many falsehoods about Islam.

Never saw a burka, rarely saw a woman with her head covered. Though most in Turkmenistan did cover their hair. Several friends said they were sorry for me as muslim countries are terrible to visit. They obviously have no idea with many muslim countries are all about. As you say, sadly the extremists are changing things drastically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 The rule change comes after images of women celebrating the liberation in Manbij, Syria burnt their burkas. ISIS commanders have brought in a number of measures in recent months including banning referrees from football matches for not observing Sharia law. The terrorists have already banned smoking, dancing, watching foreign television, private internet access and satellite dishes in areas it controls. So what is left? Funny how so often these extremists super freaks ban everything that is fun or entertaining. The worms just have to take all the fun away. Good. They are digging their own graves. Punks. Hope they disappear off the face of the earth very soon. How about a plague that only affects the members? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why ? Many members of TV are against the bans clothing covering the body at the beach on the principle of individual freedom. But I do not know any who defend the full veil covering face. .

In the other countries, such as Pakistan or Iran, who do tolerate some unveiled women, I'd be interested to know for one unveiled in the street how many women are locked in their homes.

There are many Muslim women that do not wear it, traditionally or otherwise. Indeed, it is a cultural thing rather than a religious thing. There are many non Muslim women who wear burkas, or something very similar; orthodox Jews for example. And it's not because they live in a Muslim country. Different cultures have different views on modesty and the reasons for it. Edited September 6, 2016 by 7by7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all members here are privy to the Out of the Box private forum, but there was a thread there once discussing UK government proposals to ban the Birka. Here is what you wrote.If you are in favour of banning all face coverings in public places then I can have some sympathy for your views, even if I don't agree.But banning just the birka and allowing all the others is pure discrimination and cannot be justified.In the meantime I suggest you hope over to Syria and give ISIS a piece of your mind.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came back from Dubai early Aug. and there plenty of women in head to toe black rags, and some masked, so i suppose it depends on which ME country we're talking about, as it seems to vary quite a lot.

tomacht8 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Many Arab women are very beautiful. Long legs, long black hair, pretty faces, tall with very feminine curves.Too bad that many are forced to hide their faces and bodys.I think the burqa is crap.
