I am not French so I have no say. But, I would ban it if in general the women are refusing to allow security searches at places such as airports and public facilities.

Gregory Matthews 6,435 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 The problem of the burka is a relilgious problem to a sect of Islam. Anyone who does not beleive it is a religious problem does not understand Islam and its sects. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 So......would yu'all ban the KKK hood too? Hasn't that been used over the years to perpetuate terrorism in America? Yes I would go along with that. What good has ever come from those people? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone who does not beleive it is a religious problem does not understand Islam and its sects. I'm not saying it not a religious problem. I want to know why some of us on CA support the ban. The best answer is the eye issue. That's different to what s being said in France, Belgium. etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 What is "the eye issue"? Is it that you can't see their eyes? That would be my reason for not wanting to see Burkas around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amelia 0 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 My point is, it seems people/governments only have problems with Muslims and their traditional dress. I have never heard of anyone complaining about the headgear/dress of other religions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
olger 19 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 True. I suppose that the fact that the Anabaptists don't strap grenades to their chests might have something to do with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 My point is, it seems people/governments only have problems with Muslims and their traditional dress. I have never heard of anyone complaining about the headgear/dress of other religions. Could it be because none of the other religions cover their faces, hiding their identity, and or true gender? I like the Mennonite girl in the blue dress, with the pig tails. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Overaged 1 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 What are they going to ban next? Sunglasses? Women should be allowed to wear headcoverings for religious reasons if they want to. These countries probably just want to keep out Muslims. The burka is just an excuse. Many of the women who wear them are forced to wear them. But no one is really talking about these women not being allowed to wear them at all; only to contribute to the common good of security and respect the fact that most people who ask them to remove these head coverings actually do not have any racist or religious freedom designs. I had occasion to go into a Jewish synagogue a while ago. I had to go in as a part of my job at the time. In order to be allowed in, I had to wear one of those little beanies. (sorry, I don't know what they are called). There's no difference between this and a Muslim lady being asked to TEMPORARILY remove a headcovering for security or other important reasons. How can that kind of request possibly be against their religion? Methinks that fanatics and activists on both sides who have no idea what they are talking about are at work.
