They live in their country and so they should either integrate into their society or leave, I wish we would do this too (Britain) - it's getting ridiculous. I absolutely refuse to believe we should allow people live in our country and pick and chose what parts of the traditional society they want to follow based on how it suits them.

On top of that I could write a whole essay on what the Burka is associated with in the Western countries, especially due to events in the last decade.

@OriginalYTName If a country stands for freedom then people should feel comfortable moving there and living life they way they see fit. This is a complicated discussion, depending on how you believe the world should run. In America we have laws that protect people from others trying to force something upon them. You can't rape, kill, force someone to marry others, in America. We have laws protecting individual rights. People can practice whatever they want, and people can leave that practice.

@OriginalYTName In a perfect world, that means even is Muslims came here and forced their women to do crazy things, those women can leave and live safe lives in another state. They're bound to win in a court of law. In Muslim countries, if a woman tries to leave she's killed.

I personally, don't think any religion is real, so if you want peace, get rid of all religions, that way when people did something harmful they can't point to a religion and say it's okay.

@OriginalYTName If we go extreme, we should go towards freedom.

@Brittanysofficial I agree with all you said except one point. The burka is -not- simply an "style of clothing". It is incorrect to associate the burka with say sweatshirts or tank-tops. The burka has a deep symbolic and cultural meaning. It is designed to be a literal containment unit in order to surpress and even enslave women. It is used as a symbol of property and inequality. It is offensive to 100% of humanity.

If the burka is simply clothing than footbinding is a type of shoewear.

@niknik2203 I understand what you're saying, but I actually think the burka and hijab are beautiful and if I could make it casual wear, I would. The nun's habit used to be special but now girls wear it as a slutty halloween costumes. Clothing is clothing, yes it means something to someone out there, but to others it's just clothes. On a large scale, it doesn't matter. What matters is that people can wear them if they want.

The burqa has very little to do with religious customs, and a lot to do with how men and women are perceived in the middle-east. Woman wear burqas to hide themselves from men who apparently cannot control their urges. Only their husbands may see them uncovered. If this is the case in their own country, so be it. But if a woman wearing a burqa in my country is insinuating that I am not in control of myself, and could possibly be a threat to them, then I am highly offended.

soften your J on hajab

[BadManFifi]

(Verse from the quran)And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons..." [Al-Qur'an 24:31] They wear the burqa to protect themselfs, why is it so hard for some people to accept that?!

[niknik2203]

@waterpen27 Average women on the street are not compelled to wear the nuns habit out of some twisted sense of modesty and ownership of women. Your example is not the same.

Islamic culture is hundreds of years behind judeo-christian culture and should advance into moderity. I criticise it because i care for the rights of Muslim women as i care for the rights of all other women. So should you criticise it too.

[waterpen27]

@niknik2203 neither is the clothing of nuns and popes! even they shud stop wearing those things, but when it comes to muslims people r more than ready to attack there culture first!

[AAAhmed46]

@Aeolianshredhead

Quran mentions Hijab, which even then is kind of ambigious.

The real mention of the Burqa comes from Hadith.

[AAAhmed46]

Well said!

[Aeolianshredhead]

Irrespective about terrorism, one must understand why this garment exists in the first place. In Islam, as mandated in the "holy" Qur'an, women are viewed as secondary to men. The Burqa was made so women would not be looked at by men aside from their husband- or should I say owner. This is reprehensible in the modern world. The Burqa is the clothing form of a leash and represents sexism/misogyny. Women who "choose" to wear it are brainwashed.

[niknik2203]

@ItsTymedNews "you are wrong the "Bhurka" is to protect females."

Protect females from what? Men who can't control their sexual urges and may rape them?

We all know what the Burka is. You don't need to tell us.

[ItsTymedNews]

@ItsTymedNews aren't cruisaders sorry i ran out of letters.

[ItsTymedNews]

i am muslim i like lesbians more than gays. in my culture the burka is like a fashion accessory, like make-up. should the western governments ban make-up? make-up is a must in film so i dont think so. for security in a bank? i think the women that were it and don't take it of due to security are challenging western throughts of the east. if women wearing a burka should be searched than shouldn't others? we are not all terrorists just like america and europe aka "the western world" are cruisaders
