Zone1 Should the Burka be banned?

[BULLDOG]

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

We don't set Afghanistan's laws

We don't set Afghanistan's laws

but we can comment on them

 

[BULLDOG]

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

We only control the laws here. You wanna have a war with Afghanistan over burkas?

Have you ever asked an Afghani woman about it?

You wanna have a war with Afghanistan over burkas?

your question is out of place ....

 

[irosie91]

have you ever talked to a woman wearing a Burka?
Most likely never

I have spoken to women wearing burkas----but we did not talk about the burka

Sure, no matter how goofy your comments are

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

Well, 1/2 of them have the right, anyway. I don't think the woman, buried up to her shoulders, whose skull is being crushed by boulders, has any choice. Or the 18-year-old whose nose and ears were cut off for trying to escape a brutal marriage. What happens to the woman that stands up for her rights and wears a red mini skirt to the market?

Numbskulls like the OP would force the woman to wear a mini skirt with the thong hanging out same as the Taliban would do their thing.

Most Muslim women who wear it want to do so. It's part of their identity.

is that so, tears for a mandatory inhumane practice ...

Iranian women and girls now face prison terms of up to 15 years and possible death sentences for failing to wear a hijab, through a new strict law on religious dress and behaviour that was due to take effect on Friday.

the bleeding heart maga sympathizer ...

 

[egp320i]

the Koran does not request the Burka.

And imho this clothing is inhuman

it's cruel, the women wearing these are in some of the hottest places on earth
I can only imagine how much they sweat and likely stink

It can actually keep one cool in the summer (so I've been told).

white does but not black which the women are forced to wear.....

the men wear white so their head/neck don't get burned up but
they don't cover their faces

Not exactly an issue in the US.

[Invisibleflash]

Is Trump going to sanction them if they don't ban it?

...or will he nuke them?

Their laws are oppressive and crewel. I don't know anybody who would disagree with that. Fortunately, our laws aren't that severe. They have the right to wear their burka if they choose to do so here. All we control is our country.

 

[Zebra]

some Western countries have banned the Burka

like France and Switzerland

so far 8 of 10 are against the Burka
