No Ban on Burqa, not in democratic India, how bout using fingerprinting technology ?

[3333sweetie]

@islam35122 my ancestry is. India already did ban burkas for driver license photos. If they outlaw the hijab or burkha, then you must obey the law of the land. that's all i can say

[islam35122]

@3333sweetie yes because in Islam women are allowed to give their ids and other details.But India is not going to ban the burka.Are you from India?

[3333sweetie]

@islam35122 well, i don't know what they felm but the rules are rules. if they want it that way,. best thing to do is ti abide by them. Do u think women should take off their hijabs and burqas for voter nd driver ID pictures for identification?

[islam35122]

@3333sweetie yes but i am saying that the hijab is suitable in schools because it only covers the hair not the face.

[3333sweetie]

@islam35122 wel, the rules of the country are the rules, and they should comply.

[islam35122]

@3333sweetie yes i agree with you that the niqab shouldn't be worn in schools but the hijab is suitable for schools.

[3333sweetie]

@islam35122 not in shcools though. the burqa covers their face and ppl nmeed to see faces for identiification. thats the rules.

[islam35122]

@3333sweetie but why Muslims there are a lot of Hindu and Sikh women who cover their heads and some cover their faces. you can tell Muslims are being targeted everywhere but if someone tells them to take it off then only a woman can see her face or hair not men.

[3333sweetie]

@islam35122 if they're told to take off the burqa or hijab, then they must do it. No questions asked. If they hate it, they can leave.
