far from being chaste and demure, isnt wearing a veil in THIS[uk]culture, provocative religious exhibitionism?

Question

arent ordinary muslims tearing their hair out at the own goal their stone age brothers are scoring for the whole muslim community,in their desire to be seen as just as capable of integrating and being part of uk society as anyone else?

...and of course stone age sisters!

hiding your face has one ascociation in this country...it means you are untrustworhy if not of outright criminal intent.
why anyone coming here would voluntarily take on and inhabit those ascociations is beyond me.
surely it is not beyond the wit of these incomers to create a new garment....
for instance isnt green a colour ascociated with islam...and isnt the cresent moon also?
now even a dimwit could create something using these two ideas that covers the hair but doesnt hide the face....
the truth is...i and others suspect they have no intention of integrating or RESPECTing the culture of the indiginous! peoples of this land.

the only other thing i can think of is, its a petty vindictive way for girls who were called "paki" at school to get back at the white girls!

why else would anyone go round dressed like a leper?

Answer 1

You are so right!!!! And I like your use of 'provocative religious exhibitionism.'
What really annoys me is: In Britain we have a whole set of rules and customs about different parts of our lives. Due to the socially constructed Political Correctness, we attempt not to say or do anything that will cause offence in order to try and be a tolerant and accepting nation.
When we are abroad we try to have some respect for other people’s customs. So we expect those who come here as visitors or residents equally to respect our traditions and way of life. However, the majority of them do not. They flaunt, preach and force their belief systems and traditions whilst continuing to speak in their native language without making any attempts to learn ours. It is not expected that they abandon their customs etc, but it is with respect that we would want them to make an effort to honour our homeland by making an effort to integrate with us. Everyone but the British is ‘protected’ under a mask of Political Correctness. British people are insulted without consequence, and are restricted from practising their religion. Yet we are drowned in a diversity of cultures, religions and beliefs, and some can seem to be offensive and alien to us. British people’s experience of these in their own communities leads them to be suspicious of the un-known, antagonistic; and a few to be racist. Diversity does not work under these conditions. This is why I agreed with a High Court ruling to say no to a young woman’s demands to flout her school’s rules by insisting on wearing a hijab. We need a set of rules to be put into place that will enable Britain to hold on to its identity and traditions. As David Blunkett professed: ‘It is the acceptance of the rules that makes any society function. It holds people together and provides the glue for social cohesion. Anything goes leads to everything going. And what will go is our sense of belonging, our identity and our willingness to whole-heartedly welcome difference and diversity.’

Answer 2

I think that if we have to abide by the rules of other cultures (wearing a hat a prayer walls, taking off shoes before entering restaurants or things like that) then people should have to abide by the rules of our culture.

Wearing a Niqab or Burqa isn't mandatory and could pose a threat to national security in that the person wearing the veil can't be easily identified. Like the man at Heathrow Airport who was fleeing the country and made it all the way onto an aeroplane by pretending to be a woman in a Niqab.

Most countries have already banned the wearing of veils and even the countries where the people are from don't really condone it. It is just an antiquated, archaic part of a culture.

Answer 3

I have to take my motorcycle helmet off at petrol stations and going into places like banks etc so how do they get away with it. Presumedly it's because they are coloured and would play the race card if challenged that a blind eye is turned. Another way our culture and customs are hijacked by the PC world.

Answer 4

I think you have a very valid point here. I am sure that in their culture they also want to poke a needle in their eye every time they see a woman showing her ankles or her hair. But that is not to say that we all have to follow their stereotypes. We live in a country that has freedom of religion and for that we should be very thankful!

Answer 5

Yes it has nothing to do with caste or demure is de humanising.


Humand have ears, moths, noses and facial expression, they all look different and all interact guys and girls.


You cant interact without an individual face and expression and personality whihc you only get with a face...


All other races and groups have a face why do muslims consider themself specail

Answer 6

You've hit the nail on the head there.

Its like painting your self orange and running down the street shouting 'Don't look at me - I'm Shy!!!!!!'

Really, they should get over it.

Answer 7

Well, many of us on this other side of the pond think that one's religion ought to be a private matter, and that to broadcast it when one is out and about cheapens faith and trivializes God...

Answer 8

I feel the same way about people wandering about wearing a cross.

~Morg~

Answer 9

it could be seen as a fashion statement you know

Answer 10

But don't nuns wear habits?
