Let's hit the f*ken road!
Most of the more off-putting aspects of the abundant West arise from its freedoms. The first thing we can be sure of about a free society is that it will be teeming and throbbing with things we don't like.

Many western items of clothing have been repressive for women as well.Or is this because it covers up the women.galroo said:

The relevance to a conversation on the Burka being?
There is no call for a ban on the regular muslim headgear, more similar to a nuns headgear.

So confining them to their homes & not being able to go out isn't repressive?
lmfao ban nuns habits too?
interestingly the burka is predominantly a clothing item used in saudi, kuwait, UAE, other gulf states and some parts of afghanistan, and not generally used throughout most of the rest of islam.

I've seen a few in Dandenong and up in sunshine, but not many really.Dry Rot said:
I know a fair few muslims and don't know any that wear them.
like I said earlier, tends to be women from our 'allied' nations of saudi, kuwait and other gulf states.
Its amazing that womens rights and democracy isn't pushed for there...

no good her hands arent covered.
Saw a woman in Dewsons Mirabooka with the eyes only showing ,she had her hands covered as well. The brightest blue eyes showed from underneath.
To clear up some misconceptions.
Passport and drivers licences pictures are taken without the Burkha, but they are recognised as needing ''special rooms'' to take the photos. Also some airports have culturally sensitive staff who will take a Bhurka clad woman to a separate room to check her identity
I dont know the official police stance in licence checks on the road.

Driving in a balaclava - can I inspect your boot, mate ?

Showing your own insecurities and paranoia are you mate
. If someone chooses to wear one it's their business.
Maybe we should just ban clothing altogether? Then no-one can hide anything!
Might be a way to slow down the obesity epidemic- if that's how I look in public maybe I'd better work out!

Just like if someone chooses to wear a balaclava or a motorcycle helmet everywhere?

Do you understand the difference between wearing something to avoid identification when committing a crime and religious beliefs that don't bother anyone else except the paranoid?! Sheesh let go of your fear

It doesn't offend me.
For some reason I don't find an oppressed Islamic boy toy offensive.
Maybe that's something they should think about themselves.

Even if it did that would be your problem. It's not illegal to wear one and it doesn't affect anyone else but the person wearing it.
So they are oppressed and a "boy toy" even if they choose to wear it?!
According to a Coburg shop owner interviewed by Neil Mitchell yesterday who sells them 99% of muslim women don't even wear the full burka. So we have all this fuss and irrational fear and hysteria over such a tiny minority.

Ok toots, when would you wear one?
At home?
At work?
Just anytime to hide yourself?
How about no
it's a free country - if someone wishes to wear a burkha, who are we to stop them?

Its not a free country at all. There are lots of rules which dictate what can and can't be worn at certain places. Try turning up to work tomorrow wearing just speedos and try telling that crap to your boss.
