Governments have no problem demanding that people remove masks in confrontation. One needs hardly imagine the outcome of a traffic stop..here, if the officer got up to the drivers side and found ethnic eyes staring back at him from a ski mask. He'd remove the thing with his service pistol....a'feared for his life.
Thing is, the simple fact that a government is trying such a ban does demonstrate their islamaphobia. If they get the label, it's an accurate one. A ninja costume ban, in comparison..is a no nutball rule. Did you know that american flag bikinis are illegal in the US? Same class of charge as entering the country illegally. Mull that one over.
Mull over that I'm talking UK not USA, I don't in any way shape or form see Muslim women as a threat, I see injustice, and the persecution card being used over and over by the religious to get their own way. Again, If I need to be identifiable in Tesco's filling station so does everyone.
I'm sick and tired of people backing religious freedoms, it makes me want to puke.
They are free to home school and kill off many braincells of children, they're free to lop off body parts of unsuspecting infants, they're free to discriminate against gay people, they are free to walk the streets covered head to toe, and why? Because nobody has the brass balls to say "Enough of this shit"
I imagine a fair number of these women would actually welcome a ban, we have no idea how many are forced to cover by husbands and family, not allowing them to integrate into the societies in which they live. The UK is a welcoming country, we have people of all stripes living here, successful integration of most, with one notable exception, wonder why that may be? IMHO a ban would be beneficial not only in the interests of equality, but also for these women who have no chance of successful integration.
