Three anti-burqa protesters storm the Australian parliament

[barryqwalsh]

Three anti-burqa protesters have attempted to enter the Australian parliament dressed variously in a Ku Klux Klan hood, a motorbike helmet and a niqab.

The men, members of group called Faceless which has previously protested at other public buildings, cleared the front entrance security checkpoint on Monday, but were asked to remove their head coverings and stayed in the front hall area for only a short time.

Islamaphobic nutters. As punishment, should deport them to a middle east country where they're surrounded by anonymous people. More you oppress something, more you strengthen the resolve of those who support it. Want it go away, tolerate and welcome it.

You are right, there are billion muslim around the world and hardly few millions practice of Burqah and hardly few millions muslim live in the western countries and only few muslim practice Burqah and specially those women who convert to Islam in their country of birht. And if some people want to limited their freedom then others should not be bother, like when people don't bother about people who prefer to live nude.

I think they should be illegal in western countries.

American women can't wear their foxy styles in Muslim countries for fear the offend(and get beheaded), I don't think these Muslim women in their degrading, submissive wear should be allowed to offend the fuck out of me.

I don't think they should be beheaded though, just looked at with complete contempt.

That would be a great philosophy if it were a two way proposition.

That said, it is as much a symbol of oppression and degradation of women as the hood is a symbol of oppression and degradation of blacks.

This is sad part of our civilization that people in dress become illegal and people without dress become legal means human and animal can park in same lane, good on you. This is called democracy every one should treat equally.

The man behind the anti-burqa protest was revealed to be an Italian immigrant named Sergio Redegalli and it's unclear why he is so passionately against Islam. This Italian man is a glass sculptor in Sydney and the Aussie media previously reported that he refused to take down the controversial anti-burqa mural (above) that he painted outside his studio. Based on his statements, he may be claiming reverse sexual discrimination and Italy is known for its macho culture.

"We, as males, are not allowed to wear any face coverings in Parliament House,” said the man in the Klan outfit, Sergio Redegalli, who then contradicted himself, saying it was “fantastic” they were not allowed inside the building with their faces covered but that the policy should be applied to everyone. Redegaljii said that he found the KKK outfit offensive, but that he was wearing it to make a point about facial coverings in public.

The burqa has no more place in a democratic society than a Klan hood.

I see no reason why muslim women should be prevented from wearing them in their own homes-----or even in a mosque-----but not in public

I think they used the KKK things to make the
point that ---COVERING THE FACE-----is
a problem in a free society. People are
identified by their faces-------criminals cover
their faces --------people HIDING. People in a
free society are not supposed to be ANONYMOUS

The burqa is a sign of oppression, a sign that women are second class citizens.

That point aside, if Western women can't where Western dress in Muslim countries, because it offends Muslims, why can Muslims wear the burqa in Western countries when it offends so many Westerners?
