Face covering

jaysay · 17-09-2013, 17:30

A judge has ruled that a woman had to remove her veil whilst giving evidence in the witness box, I should think so too, they should also remove them when using post offices and banks too. If they object there are planes leaving for Islamabad every day from most airports, think the saying when in Rome applies on this issue

When I lived in Morocco, a Muslim country, i did not see one veil.

I have no issue with personal liberties, but this is subjugation of women

No place in a civilised and democratic society and they should be banned period

its not even a faith issue theres no part of the koran that states a woman should wear a face covering its simply something dreamt up by some nutty man many years ago as a tool to belittle and control the opposite sex.Probbably teh same paranoid nut that had sex with a child and didnt like his picture been illustrated and also put a ban on bacon because he had a problem with pigs .

i have mentioned this every time this subject comes up and basically i asked a mulsim taxi driver one night why women wore them and he said it was to show respect to their husbands.I asked him if his wife wore one and he said yes she did.I then asked him why he wasnt wearing one to show respect to his wife and there was no answer just a grin

That's because he's an ugly git and his wife knows nobody will bother giving him a second glance anyway

Can I walk into a bank wearing a balaclava. I think not. What's the difference?

When I had my motorcycle ,Jaysay , I had to remove my helmet when entering post offices and banks because it could conceal my identity . The full face veils conceal identity much better than crash helmets .

Try wearing a crash helmet in court and see how far you get

And you should start at the beginning ... with the citizenship oath:

People that agree wi wearing em anywhere,are whats "WRONG" wi our country,

I posted a few years ago that i was nearly knocked down by one of these people wearing a letterbox, on Tesco car park at Blackburn, Its utterly ridiculous that people are allowed to drive wearing em also, This is nothing at all to do wi religion, its trying to impose their way on us, Well sorry it don't wash wi me,

People should in principle have the right to wear whatever they want and to express their religious beliefs. We live in an age of rights and freedoms enshrined in law. As long as it's a genuine expression of belief and not something imposed by social or familial pressures.

as i said earlier the burka,veil,letterbox etc has absolutely nothing to do with religous beleif its merely a tool of oppression and control.

personally id do away with right to religous beleif as well and tear down every damn church and mosque that couldnt be converted into a pub.Im sick to the back teeth of how much money,time and effort is wasted pandering to morons that think theres a magic fella in the sky.

god or allah want a church or mosque then let god or allah magically errect one from dust.Supposed to have made woman from a rib so surely buiding his own damn church isnt outside hsi skill set.Besides he created NVQ's he could be a builder in 3 months if his mojo is a bit limp but then again he created the polish so he may loose to a lower quote with better workmanship

mind you we dont really have religous belief in the UK there was enough signatures on the last census to declare jedi a recognised faith but it didnt get its status.6 dvd box set is way more credible than 1 poxy ill thought out book from a long time ago
