Yeah so in an ideal world where there is no Islamic fundemantalism there would be no problem. Get it?
C'mon now, yeah there probably is.
Er no its because its a symbol of oppression. Women Islam are forced to do things they dont want to do and from personal experience there is alot of stuff in the Islamic religion that muslim women dont like.
As I said before I think its reasonable that it should not be allowed in business meeting. I dont have a problem with burkhas as such its only the association.
No you, Alfy...not you.
Calling me wankerish ont he other hand is the epitome of friendlyness? Not the least bit rude?
Yes, what I think is the problem is that you don't get it. You are against opression but think it would be best to support oppression in order to be against it. I doubt there is a direct link between terrorism and.....a woman wearing a burkha. So, you ban something in an apparently free country for no good reason.
But she ****ing started the argument, she should provide reasons. (Ush, I said "should", not "has to", kay?) It#s all very Starhawk if I may draw this comparison.
And they shouldn't be, but we, as free countries, should not ban it for everyone. What next? No Band T-Shirts? And I am sure there is, I wouldn't doubt that, but there are probably also women who want to wear one, why, by what right, do we not allow them to do it? WHAT RIGHT?
Business meetings are private, the government has about "**** NOTHING" to say what someone wears in a business meeting.
Well, I associate wearing a cross around your neck with the killing of millions of people over the year...wouldn't say they should be banned, what's your take? What about children that are forced to wear such a cross?
