Should the Burqa be banned in Australia

Should the Burqa and Niqab be banned in Australia?

[2106greencat]

If an Australian woman were to go and live in a country where the national law was 'females covered' they would be arrested for not wearing the 'national' dress - ie: burqa or whatever....so how is it that over here some say the wearers have the right to wear what they want in our country - when that same right is not afforded to us in their country??

Never has made sense to me......

Also, try building a christian or catholic church over there....good luck with that.

It's not right to make a woman wear a burka or cover her face an any country.. But, It's also not right to not let her if she so chooses. I know personal choice, freedom, and natural rights are confusing to some people but at least try to see it this way. If someone wants to do, say, wear something, and it doesn't impose on another person, and not being able to see someone's face, not letting others see your face, is not inposing on anyone. Adam Kokesh explains this so much better than I do, I suggest you look him up on Youtube, I'd post but my internet is too shakey at the moment to search videos.

super nova, you seem to have a lot of opinions for someone who must not live in an area where there are a lot of muslim families and woman wearing Burqas and Niqabs

I go to area where there are many Muslims, and I do not recall seeing recently anybody wearing burqa, but I did not make my comment on basis of my observation; I have hard it stated several times in interviews with people, who are involved in these matters, that burqas are not something used here.  Maybe it should be that they are not used often.

Maybe that has something to do with the fact that these countries are run by tyrannical leaders, and that is why people are escaping from there; while Australia call itself "free and democratic".  

If people are accepted by society as they are, they will blend in much faster; any attempt to force them into abandoning what they consider their heritage, will only make them cling to it more.

Identity could be ascertained easily....... I think Burqas need rego plates.... and.......

If you're caught "driving" someone elses burqa then instant disqualification of said Burqa "esque" privileges....obviously..

I think it could catch on like those pretty plates they advertise on telly to keep your man out of your car

Nice photo. Is there any proof that the residents of those black tents are female? For all we know it could be five men under all that black material.

I have to say, we have a business in an area that has a substantial Muslim population, not all of them wear any kind of head covering but I have never seen anyone wearing the Burqua.

Interesting that on Q and A, it was said that no one wears it in Australia.

Questions, how does a child know who their mother is in this crowd if they get seperated?   

How does a husband know who their wife is when they all look like this?

[bushies.girl]

I made that point earlier and was told thst "westerners" didn't have to comply with their "dress rules" Mind you, I would NEVER
consider visiting one of the countries
