Do you oppose Customs and Border Patrol covering their faces?

Yes

 

[Unkotare]

have you ever talked to a women [sic] wearing a Burka?
Most likely never

Many times.

 

[Zebra]

Burkas are worn mostly in Afghanistan .... not in the US.

Women who want to wear them in the US, wear them.

 

[BULLDOG]

it is not the same ... those things do not cover your face

Doesn't matter. Religious expression is religious expression. Nothing wrong with covering your face. Just ask the INS people.

Expressing fascism in the form of a question is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

But more authoritarianism from the rabid rightwing of America is to be expected from the MAGA Republican Party.

the Burka is not religious

 

[BULLDOG]

the Burka is not religious

Really? A burka is worn as a form of modesty that is in alignment with religious values. Kinda like not baking a cake for gay people isn't specifically addressed in the Bible, but it aligns with what some claim to be religious values. A wedding vail serves the exact same purpose at a Christian weddig.

As long as the left tries to dox them and their families, yes.

I would suffocate in one of those things. And I don't live in a desert. It absolutely is inhumane to women. The whole religion is inhumane to women.

 

[Zebra]

again ....

the Koran does not request the Burka

 

[Zebra]

the Taliban brought the Burka back

not the free will of the women

 

[BULLDOG]

modesty?

seems silly to me too. That's why I don't insist that anyone wear one. Others have every right to disagree with me. I might not agree with your form of modesty, but you don't have to agree with me.

Its' gotta suck big time, but it is their way, and they have a right to do it.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

the Koran does not request the Burka.

And imho this clothing is inhuman

"Request"

who are they in this case?

Modesty doesn't mean you get to stone a woman to death for showing her ankles, or showing a wisp of hair. Marrying a 7-year-old child is just as inhumane to women and little girls. It's brutally cruel dominance.

 

[BULLDOG]

who are they in this case?

In this case, those who choose the burka.

 

[Zebra]

if the women in Afghanistan could vote on this topic, there would be no Burka

In this case, those who choose the burka.

the woman there did not choose the Burka.
The Taliban forced them to wear it.
