Wearing any religious apparel should be entirely the choice of the wearer with no punitive consequences if they decide not to wear it.
I live in a similar area in NE-Ohio and many do not wear those clothes by choice.
You are right. Islam is ultra-conservative and certainly aims at controlling every aspect of women's lives, including their appearance. However there is nothing 'sudden' about it.
So you are going to tell women what's good for them? The women are idiots?
It's pretty much middle eastern republicanism if you mean extremist Islam like Republicans are fascists in the West
*sunscreen*
I am not telling anybody anything.
What is "middle eastern republicanism"?
It depends on why the woman is wearing it.
No. The women are oppressed by Islam.
Women are oppressed by shit men in every faith. Most Muslim men are better husband's than the average Republican
Lol, that should get people going. I don't agree with this statement btw. I don't think it's right to characterize either group as being infested with bad husbands.
Most cops commit dv. That's a fact. Most Muslims are not violent men. Most Republicans want to own women and control their bodies. But i made a gross generalisation in response to one, that's true
Agree.
I disagree with this statement, strongly. Remember that a lot of Republican women also support abortion restrictions or outright abolition.
Good one.
Again, most burkas are worn in the Middle East and North Africa. They are worn in male dominated societies where woman are treated as property.
It's unfortunate women have to live in those conditions.
Not your place to tell women how to dress.
In Europe they can choose whether to wear it or not. You don't get to decide they cannot.
Your not reading, just making stuff up as you go along that aligns with your liberal politics.
I have to admit that when I am at the airport and see those Amish types about to board airplanes it really makes me nervous.
Of course not, however it is the business of Governments when people hide there identity.
I think what's important to sort out here is there are some women who choose to wear them because they are strict adherents to their religions. We have Orthodox Jewish women who wear wigs to cover their natural hair as part of their faith and do so because they are loyal to the practices Judaism. I am no way in favor of women being forced into these kind of practices, but we can't assume all of them are being forced.
I would say if it is the law, women are being forced.
That seems like a stretch since some are compliant because they share the same religious beliefs. There are plenty of laws we have which one could view as forced upon us, but many of us may comply without feeling forced because we agree with them.
