Should those countries adhere to this tendency? What are some advantages if (historically) non-Muslim Western countries take on this unusual attire code?

NO... many areas of culture have "dress code" requirements...
a lack of proper attire or proper foot wear will have you removed from an airplane or not allowed into a restaurant...
the complete covering of the burka was at one time a silent gilted cage..in today's world is is more of sign that says "steal this valuable item" and is causing harm instead of protecting women....
also, since the burka does cover everything...any terrorist guy can and will load up with explosives..put on a burka...and go shopping with a couple male relatives....
no , it is not racist...it is a security issue today....

The burka and the face veil could be banned in line with their being a secure practices concern. And any garment that obstructs the id of a face (not inclusive of glasses or colorations as they seem to be a necessity) and of the guy, could additionally be banned. The hijab, old ladies' scarves, and nuns conduct do not impede the loose viewing of the face so as that they should not be banned. and that i've got not any subject with ladies or perhaps men donning "loose gowns" in public, offering they don't strategies accepting extra effective screening while getting into public and a few private homes. As for the liberty to particular one's self, that ends while it comes into touch with yet another guy or woman's precise to self-risk-free practices. not that this precise is computerized besides. case in point, it extremely is against the regulation to stand up in a crowded action picture theatre and yell "hearth" while there's no hearth. which would be considered an "infringement" however the courtroom has pronounced that when risk-free practices is at stake, such infringements may well be made. And in simple terms attempt going as much as a secure practices look after in an airport and telling him which you have a bomb on your bag. you will discover out instant that "loose speech" has its limits! And from what I even have study of Islam, there's no requirement interior the Koran to conceal one's face (it incredibly is not even authorized interior the pilgrimage to Mecca), subsequently it extremely is a cultural addition in all probability meant to administration ladies. and because there are actually not any sound religious motives for it the two, it incredibly is going to possibly be banned outright. ultimately, once you communicate approximately religious freedoms, what approximately our western ladies's "rights" as quickly as we circulate to Iran and Saudia Arabia? they are envisioned to obey the regulation and lifestyle of those countries and cover up...or they threat being overwhelmed or imprisoned. If non-Muslims could be forced to gown to Muslim standards in Muslim countries, then Muslims can gown to our standards in our countries...or they'd circulate abode!!!!! interest Artman: A nun's habit does not conceal the girl's face. it extremely is sparkling in any respect cases. And the hijab does not conceal the girl's face the two. So I have not any subject with the two. yet I do have a topic with the burqa and the face veil as the two conceal the face, leaving purely a small grill artwork of fabrics over the eyes so as that they'd see out yet no you will see that for the period of. this is faulty and it will possibly be banned!

Theer are many exceptions to the freedom of religious practice, such as Rastafarians not being allowed to smoke pot, or Santarians not being able to perform anmal sacrifice. When the practice is banned for a reason other than religious discrimination, such as safety reasons with a Burkha, it is permissable and fair.

For the most part, I think Burka-banning violates the separation of church and state, which most Western European countries have.
But I think it may be an attempt to protect young women from oppression from their own family, like that teenage girl who was murdered by her father in Canada.

Please tell me exactly what race of people wear a burka. It is not worn on the basis of race, but of religion. Therefore, it is not racist.

Absolutely. What would a Christian feel if he/she wasn't allowed to wear a cross around the neck in a non- Christian country?

No -- Islam is a religion, not an ethnic group.
It may be wrong, but is is not *racist*.
