I'm not even anti France, I'm anti **** I see in the news. That's why I attack France and the EU. For shame.
So, if the EU want to carry on like they have this week and the French wish to try and point out a burqa to me and tell me it's disgusting and highlight a video in Europe that says the burqa isn't disgusting - what do you think the BBC having TV License paying, rights agreeing Brit would say? Do you think I'd **** on countries like Iran? Or would I **** on countries telling me my continent is **** because their country says it's shitty to wear a burqa and you've got my country in that video sporting my state TV and licensee fee that paid for the filming of that, telling me it's okay to which I agree with anyway - tell me, how should I react to what I see presented to me?
Their Shariah, your Shariah. Can't make up my mind which is worse. I prefer, each to his own, myself.
I quite like burkas - Not all the time but i've seen some really nice ones on the street. I find peoples views on the burka quite odd - We seem happy to sexualise young people at a younger and younger age yet we're disgusted when people cover up. 12 year old walk around looking like porn starts but its seen as being cute and yet we see a lady in a burka and people don't like it. If we're going to ban the burka, can we ban the crop top as well please?
When I last went to Amsterdam, I met a pretty girl in a hijab and blue jeans at a protest rally there in Dam Square real quick as she gave me a flyer about boycotting Israel. Good to see the Dutch are still tolerant of minorities.
Okay, this was June 2016 but apparently there was a partial ban in November 2016 of the full faced burqa.
Isn't feminism just advocating for women to be able to have the right to wear what they want? How are they advocating for government denying that right?
I over generalized. its actually a bit of a divisive issue among feminism from what I have read, just like pornography is. They come down on both sides. I absolutely agree with your argument.
It has nothing to do with 'wearing what they want', it's an unnecessary statement of their religion which is inconsistent with western cultures, and therefore is socially divisive and - not to put too fine a point on it - a blatant affront to their host countries also.
It's not about the outfit outself, it's about the symbol. People are forbidden to wear swatiska for similar reasons in many countries. Furthermore, the main problem here is not the governement, it's the BBC advocating niqab as if it was a "cool" thing.
The BBC has become dysfunctional, and it's only purpose now is the ongoing dumbing down of the populace at the behest of central government. It is social engineering in order to make us bovine, and incapable of questioning and confronting authority.
To the feminists that's ALL that its about. And that's what I was referring to. Sure, but you're never going to win the argument by saying that, because Muslim women would simply say that it is an absolute necessary statement of their religion, and the Muslim men would agree. And while it is inconsistent with western cultures, I'd be surprised if your life was affected by it.
Well my life is affected by it because I resent being affronted by those who refuse to show appreciation of our hospitality by at least conforming to our norms, instead of which they purposefully - some would say provocatively? - flaunt their differences. I don't know what it's like in Oz but in some towns in the UK (England specifically), and districts of London, it's like being in a souk somewhere in the middle east. I suspect the difference between us is that you're the more tolerant, but then even your tolerance might become tested one day when you begin to perceive you're now a part of a minority group.
