Should countries outlaw the hijab, niqab and burka?

http://cloudmind.info/hijab-niqab-and-burka-faq/

More and more Muslims are immigrating into western nations with varying degrees of success.

Canada, not generally known as racist or intolerant, being a nation of immigrants, do not seem to have much use or tolerance for Muslim customs and having a religion dictate what women will wear.

Is Canada becoming intolerant and fed up with religions or is there some other reason for Canadian hard line against hijab niqab and burka?

What of the U.S.?

Canada has not had a lot of problems to date. A few Honor killings when the young have refused to dress in the traditional way. I think that I would vote with the vast majority just to end Canadian Honor killings. I also see this as a safety issue in the sense that in a nation where so many do a lot of driving, to add blind spots caused by head and face wear seems like a poor idea.

To be frank though, I see Christianity and Islam as homophobic and misogynous religions and would vote for any measure that would reduce misogyny.

Are the large majority in Canada and elsewhere who would outlaw the hijab, niqab and burka wrong?

Along with all the Abrahamic cults as they all produce homophobes and misogynous men.

On paper this would sound good, but I think outlawing religion would ultimately make things worse. Don't get me wrong it is my opinion the world would just be better off without religion(again just my opinion people can obviously disagree).

However, there is a difference between that and outlawing it. If you outlawed it I think it would just increase peoples religious fervor. Some religious groups already feel they are "persecuted" so it would just add fuel to that fire imo.

+ 1

I would include Christianity which is just as immoral a creed.

I think they are redundant and even harmful to us today and so I agree with you.

Religions were created for entertainment but we allowed them to gain power that we should take back.

You do not seem to recognize tat we are rule followers and that is why we invent so many. It is also for order and our own protection.

Would you think the roads safe without any laws or rules?

I did not think so.

Along with Christianity, yes.

That is also a homophobic and misogynous religion and is only marginally better than Islam.

I hear you but the conversation and debate as to if we should let the Noble Lie persist should be had.

If you do not see the Noble Lie at work, then just publicly discussing the morality, homophobia and misogyny produced by the mainstream religions would serve us well.

Can you expand on this, because America and Christians are more tolerant of homosexuality then 95% of the other countries around the world.

Law Religion or religion laws or better yet religion outlaw or law it!

No, one should never outlaw something that isn't already outlawed just because of a minority but a country also shouldn't adjust the countries for people who move there. So no special holidays for religions or extra treatment for "foreign" religions or traditions.

Means, if there are laws how an animal should be treated, everyone has to stick to it, if there are laws that women and men are equals, everyone has to stick to it, if wearing a cap, hood or whatever is not allowed in school or on demonstrations, everyone has to stick to it.

One thing that is wrong here in Germany. Some turks expect from their daughters to marry another turk and remain a virgin, yet their boys are allowed to plow through any non muslim girl if they want because they are "lesser" anyway, to put it friendly, if a turkish girl has a non muslim boyfriend and god beware has sex with him, it can end in a honor killing. We had some issues with this quite often, the cases where it isn't made public are higher and most of the turkish girls stand to this tradition out of fear. I would have zero tolerance against such an mindset.

If you go to a country and want to live there, stick to their rules and behave like a good guest.

Yes and no.

Most of the West has recognized that being gay is not unnatural in any sense. It is seen as just another condition, somewhat like a heath condition at birth. I say health because in a species that uses sex to reproduce, if all of us had that condition humanity would die out.

Some do not like that I use the word condition but I do not know what else to name it. Heterosexual is also a condition in my mind so I am not discriminating negatively by using that word.

Christians have become more tolerant, but just recently, and there are still a lot of Christians fighting the trend to civilization.

Much of Christianity and especially Islam is still quite misogynous.

FMPOV. Neither religion is worthy of respect and are both immoral creeds.

Why the world has tolerated them for this long I cannot fathom.

Yes, especially non-Muslim countries. You should assimilate within the society you live in, not create a cultural barrier because of the traditions/norms you used to follow in your country.
