because burka is a tool of oppression. the women who wears it are alienated from the rest of the population and can not be integrated into the society. this will hold them back and keep them from being independent.

You do realize now that there is a ban on the burka, they really are going to be oppressed because a.) if it's their choice to wear it, they won't go out b.) if they're being forced to wear it, they won't be ALLOWED to go out.

So either way, they will never be integrated and they'll never reach the independance the government wants them to have.
 
I do care and support the liberation of women. If a woman wants to wear the burqa then go back to muslimstan and live under the shadow of male dominance.
Eh? You support the liberation of women but don't support a woman's choice to wear a burqa? Surely choice is a vital part of being liberated?
You are a rather confused individual. . .

Burqa should be banned throughout Europe.
How would that liberate women, whose liberation you support?
 
If you want to ban religious/cultural dress, maybe you should just ban every form of it across the board. Sikhs should not be able to wear their head wraps and beards, Orthodox Jews should not be able to wear their uniforms, hats, and beards. No red dots on the foreheads for Hindus etc. They should instead reform their immigration policies that allowed these intruders to come into their country to begin with, instead of regulating how they dress once they are already in the door. Offer incentives to repatriate these undesirable foreigners back to their countries of origin, offer them money to leave if need be, and stop new immigration before it happens.

it's supposed to be about assimulating into the culture, possibly learning the language. And saying to themselves "This is how it is done in this country". Heaven forbid thet have to give up anything (sarcasm).
 
Covering your face in public is technically illegal in the US too... its a safety thing and if you read the papers, or watch the world news, you know why.

I don't think it's illegal, at least in the U.S. to wear a burka due to the U.S.'s free expression doctrine. However, if the government has a compelling interest (Like a diver's license picture or something like that) they can make you take it off.

Personally, I think the whole "hiding women for their own good" thing is creepy, but you have the right to express yourself I think. At least in the U.S. =P.

What a complete idiotic statement. They would never choose to hide and be in the darkness of themselves. It was influxed and taught into their mind and psychii since the in utero stage. It has been discerned upon them that it is the only way a woman shall live. I will go against the grain here and say I am betting no woman WANTS TO HIDE. It has been distilled upon them to do so. There is a ban on them now. So be it. Stand proud, speak loud. Or go live in the 5th century world you came from and stop trying to decree your views and make other civilizations change for you

Why is it idiotic? Do you know the mind of all female muslims? & how will this ban allow them to "stand proud, speak loud" as you put it? If these women are forced to wear the Burka how will this law liberate them? Will the husbands & fathers who forced them to wear it suddenly allow them to walk around in public without it?!? Of course not, as has already been said, these women will become even more oppressed & not allowed to even leave their homes!
 
Some may have to die.. some may have to make sacrifices...I highly doubt women CHOOSE to dress covered head to toe. They obviously want freedom...Muslims are moving to USA and England in record numbers. And The Netherlands are being overrun by them..

Who cares what they want?
Its not about liberating them from their husbands.
You cant conceal youre Identity in public.

Jesus, Why do so many care about this?
If i posted a thread on what women are forced to wear in many arab country's the same people would excuse it and imply racism for even bringing it up.

People just love to hate ( but only certain groups )

Well I wouldn't. & I care because it is a state acting like an idiot again, choosing the completely wrong tactic & it will only lead to further marginalisation of muslims & then more excuses for terrorist extremism. The government have shot themselves in the foot & just because it doesn't directly affect me doesn't mean I shouldn't care or be concerned. . .

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
