Would you agree that American women should wear a burka to lessen the Middle East's anger towards the U.S.?

Question

I believe if American women wore burka we would have less problem with Middle Eastern country. It would also prevent rape among women and lead to a safer society in general. Has this ever been thought of by U.S. governments?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

You seem to think that the Middle East is correct in limiting the personal freedom's of it's people. Women wearing burka's in the U.S. wouldn't decrease rape at all. The problem is never the woman, it's the personality of the man that makes him commit rape. Or have you forgotten the many rapes that take place in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and other supposedly Muslim Middle Eastern countries? The kind of man who rapes is the kind of man who would do it no matter what the girl wears. That said, i find the entire Middle East to be the most backward region on the face of the earth, save a tribe or two in the Amazon or New Guinea. Since the West allows women to dress as they choose, by that logic, shouldn't almost every woman be raped on a daily basis? That's clearly not the case, and yet in Middle Eastern society, few if any women can dress as they choose, so (by your logic) none should be raped, and yet many are.

I'm not sure that you understand that the United States of America is a free nation. Except for actual public nudity, there are no real restrictions on what men or women wear in the US.
Do you also prescribe that men should only wear long pants and long sleeved clothes as many Middle Eastern countries prescribe?
The Government doesn't want to impose such restrictions on what is really a personal choice. Why should they?
Most importantly, "Middle Eastern anger" does not stem from what American women wear. International tension with the US is caused by a myriad of sources.
By the way, most rapes are not precipitated by women wearing scanty or sexy clothes. If you ask any police psychologist, rape is usually about power, not sex. Furthermore, if a man can't stop himself from attacking a woman because of what she is wearing, then he is a dangerous man in other ways, too.

Answer 4

Wearing a head covering symbolizing "submission" and "shame" would solve a whole slew of world problem.

YEAH RIGHT!!!

We have some damn fine women here in the US why should be hide them under a sheet?

Daisy Dukes, bikinis, miniskirts evolved for a reason!

We are not afraid!
They do not have to be supermodels, but I like looking at them just as much as any other man.

I would like to see how afraid you were after trying to tell a few American women that they need to wear a "burka" or whatever it is called.

You could end up pretty injured or possibly dead.

Answer 5

Try having your concept enforced in the middle east first before dragging such an obtuse affectation to the US. I lived in the middle east for 2 years and fully half the Arab/Muslim women in Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Iraq didn't wear the burka or even a veil.

Answer 6

I believe the purpose of the burka in the mideast is to cover up the ugly toothless faces of their women. The only thing it would do here is give ugly women an even playing field. Besides what would that do to Spring Break... wet burka contests? Girls gone wild videos where the cameraman says "Show me your face".
Obviously a Muslim asked the question, and to him I say...You people take yourselves and your stupid religion WAAAYYYY too seriously. Wearing a burka doesn't prevent rape in the mid-east, it's just handier than carrying a bag to put over an ugly face.
Personally I don't give a rats butt if they are mad at us or why they are mad. They remind me of one of my exes who was mad all the time because she liked to be mad.

Answer 7

So I take it you are a Muslim?

I think the proliferation and infiltration of Muslims worldwide is tied to their being the religion of the antichrist. They are being allowed into countries because that religion ties in with the countries that are sitting on all the oil. They will get to the point in countries where they will say it's our way (which includes women wearing a burka because in their ignorant superstition they are afraid of women), or be beheaded.

You will know then that we are living in the Biblical end times.

Answer 8

I do not believe it would solve anything. Women wearing burka's would not alter American foreign policy, or military campaigns.

When you mention Middle East's anger, are you sure you are not referring to just the islamofascists, those with the loudest voices?

Answer 9

That has were given to be the dumbest element i have ever heard. heavily, how is a burka going to stay away from rape?? Does it change into some form of protective protect? center jap international locations are nevertheless going to hate u . s . a . of america in spite of if the U.S. females are donning burkas or no longer.

Answer 10

No women should not wear the Burka. It would not ease any tensions with the Islamic world. It dosen't matter how we try to keep the Islamofacists happy it never will happen.

Answer 11

As ridiculous as it sounds, there are probably a few nut jobs in this country that would go for it. Some in this country would do anything to appease terrorist.

Who cares if the middle east does not like us. We don't like them either, I would not expect them to. They are all religious fanatics, and they are completely insane. And yes, ALL of them are. That is why you never hear a so called "Muslim" denouncing the Muslim terrorists. It is because ALL Muslims agree, and side with the terrorist. Also, why would they speak out when the left is doing it for them?
