#9  Thanks TW i have to respectfully disagree
When government gets in the habit of dictating what we can wear then we all lose. Next minute it is compulsory masks for covid

The problem is muslim migration

The answer is shut the borders and deport all that can be deported, encourage the others to emigrate and rescind their citizenship voluntarily

All banning the burka does is to TRICK you into thinking the govt is on your side all while FAILING to do what is really needed.

All it does is enable the colonisation to continue

#7  From my link at #2, Deacon Blues:

The burka is the most concealing of all Islamic veils. It is a one-piece veil that covers the face and body, often leaving just a mesh screen to see through.

The chador, worn by many Iranian women when outside the house, is a full-body cloak. It is often accompanied by a smaller headscarf underneath.


The burka is generally made of medium blue polyester and worn by Afghan women. The chador leaves the entire face uncovered and is pinned under the chin.

#5  Mohammad's admonition is not to show the hair (See also - Catholic nuns, Amish and Mennonite women). It has nothing about the face. That is all cultural not religious.

#2  The clothing is also a problem, anon1. Smash’n’grab regularly hit up jewelry stores and such — the miscreants can’t be identified because they’re dressed as Moving Black Objects with niqabs covering their faces.

What’s the difference between hijab,niqab, and burqa?

When in Rome, you see. Western culture demands allowing people to see your face for purposes of identification and communication. If they don’t like that, let them live where the culture is agreeable to turning women into anonymous, silent objects. After all, we don’t allow men to go around with hidden faces, either, lest we get a return of malicious groups like the Ku Klux Klan.

#1  I do not like things like this. It is anti-free expression

The problem is not the clothing

The problem is that islamism is incompatible with western civilisation

These women need to be deported before they drop a litter that cannot be deported

These people should only ever be allowed in on 2-week holiday visas if even that. And deported if any remain on day 15.
