Morocco just banned the burkha, niquab and other head coverings. Wow
You can find a video of Nassar Hussein in the 60's mocking the Muslim Brotherhood for wanting him to insist all women in Egypt wear a TarhaMorocco just banned the burkha, niquab and other head coverings. Wow
Really?Morocco just banned the burkha, niquab and other head coverings. Wow
Never forget when I saw two Muslim girls in full burka sunbathing in Mallorca. So many questions.
Nearly as bizarre as hearing someone on radio 4 saying that people in the U.K. we're fed up of seeing women in burqas and niqabs in the pub??
Iran did the same thing once and it eventually led to the overthrow of the so-called "Shah" and his replacement by the Ayatollah!Morocco just banned the burkha, niquab and other head coverings. Wow
Like to see you eat with a balaclava on chap.Honestly you've never seen a Muslim woman eating before and was amazed at a shop bought sandwich? Some of the replies on here make me wonder if some people shouldn't try to get out a little bit more.
Really?
Not agreeing with a ban as such, but there should be no pressure at all put on women to feel they have to cover up in order to pander to men.
They think it is their free will
Why because being women they can't think for themselves - that does sound pretty patronising., but it is hundreds and hundreds of years of conditioning that makes them believe that is what they should do.
It's the balance between the idea of suppression of women or the idea of cultural choice.
Unless we are the ones wearing the garment it's difficult to know where to be on this argument.
That said - for every intellectually capable person that can see both sides, there will be a tub-thumping idiot that will think they can go around replicating what Boris has said.
Now thats a weird fantasy:bored:Like to see you eat with a balaclava on chap.
Or uncover for that matter!
Women have been conditioned by men in all societies - look at high heels!

However as an aside how do countries that have banned face coverings deal with all the Japanese tourists? Always wondered that.
Would you allow them in banks/airports/other places that require people to remove face coverings.
That's what bothers me most.
Even more so when you use it without a motor bikeYeah, that's the argument I can buy. All for freedom of expression, but I'm not really allowed to wear my motorcycle helmet into such places.
No, not patronising. They do choose to wear the veil and burkha, but it is as a result of centuries of conditioning.Or uncover for that matter!

The family next door lived every minute for God. Home schooled, church at least 4 or 5 times a week. There were 4 kids and that was all they knew.
We do, or at least we did.You have some very strange neighbours Otis!
Repost!
Fucking morons, these people demand respect because they believe in magic and wear special clothes to prove it, they can fuck off.I just wish all religions would stop. Imagine how peaceful the world would be. Lets face it the human race only believe in 'gods' because they're shit scared of death and don't want to believe that once your gone you're gone.
Doesn't the little girl in this photo just define how stupid this practice is, It's fucking child abuse.
We're all conditioned in one way or another from Birth to varying degrees and on various matters .No, not patronising. They do choose to wear the veil and burkha, but it is as a result of centuries of conditioning.
My neighbours were devout Christians. We moved in and the the little girl (about 8) asked which church we went to and we said we didn't go at all. She was stunned and had been led to believe that everyone goes to church.

Conditioning. It's hard to have free will when your mind is not allowed to be opened up to the wider world.
Wasn't trying to be in any way patronising. It's just something they have been taught through religious teachings for centuries.
Very true, Wingy, but I don't believe on the whole that the restrictions are in place that are to be found in religion differ for most of us barely or non-religious folk..We're all conditioned in one way or another from Birth to varying degrees and on various matters .
One of the very reasons I turned my back on any beliefs whatsoever, Otis. I was force-fed religion from the age of 5 until I was ten, being brought up in a convent by masochistic bitch nuns and a paedo priest in the early 60's. Fucking evil people! If I believed all they told me, I would be the most evil person that ever lived by now!Very true, Wingy, but I don't believe on the whole that the restrictions are in place that are to be found in religion differ for most of us barely or non-religious folk..
I was brought up a certain way by my parents, but there was no restriction in what I was allowed to believe in .
You have to remember for most relgions, in their sermons or religious gatherings/prayers, the followers are forever being reminded and told that if they don't believe in God they are going to hell. They scare the wits out of you at an early age. That's not every day life for most people if you are not that religious. It's blackmailing, controlling and using the factor of fear.
My neighbours lived their lives for God. Every waking moment.
Yeah, that's the argument I can buy. All for freedom of expression, but I'm not really allowed to wear my motorcycle helmet into such places.
I kind of get that POVWould you allow them in banks/airports/other places that require people to remove face coverings.
