Smiffs Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I dont like them, I find them at best primitive and at worst offensive. However, I find people telling other people what they can and cannot wear more offensive. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no balls Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 It doesn't say anywhere in the Koran they must wear that regalia so who decided they should wear them, I know not. I believe the use of it is provocative and to gain a reaction. I also think size 18 girls who wear next ot fuck all on a night out look cunts too.

Maggie Tate Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I'm in broad agreement with Smiffers. It sickens me that some Islamic women wear it and to be quite honest it makes no difference whether they choose to do so or if their chauvanist cunt husband or father forces them to, both scenarios are equally foul. But, it's not for me to make demands of people who view things differently to myself. That is why anti religionists will always have the moral high ground over believers. They wish to affect our how we live our lives, be it what we eat, what we can and cannot say or publish, who we fuck, whether or not we wear a nodder to fuck them, whether or not we can marry them if we wish to, whether or not we can divorce them afterwards if it doesn't work out, whether or not we can choose as responsible adults to abort a foetus if an unwanted preganacy occurs, whether or not we can ask that our life to be brought to an end in desperate health related straits, whether or not we can sup ale or gamble or shop on a Sunday, or eat meat on a Friday, or watch a play or film which is critical of religion. So, in the interests of not surrendering the moral high ground to these pricks, my view is that the burka is offensive, but I do not have the right to tell someone not to wear it.

Site Supporter Alf Hartigan Posted July 16, 2010 Site Supporter Share Posted July 16, 2010 I don't really see how anyone can be offended by 'em or be 'made to feel sick' as someone said. Each to their own and all that. I can see the point of security issues though, and for that reason I can see them being phased out by muslims. But it'll take as long as it's taken football to (be on the point of) introducing goal line technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breightmet Boy Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 They were brought to, or born in our country, and therefore were more than happy to live in a Christian Anglo Saxon community.

My only concern is if they are worn to conceal someone's identity in which case it's a one off all off policy. Also why is it always the 'newly converted' that get so uptight about it.

Underpants Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Never botherd me at all and can't see all the fuss if I'm honest. But if I started seeing more and more every day then my opinion would probably change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frandsen08 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 cant say it bothers my day to day life , but i can see why people consider it rude. i'll try not to tar people with the same brush, but i have more of a problem with muslim men young and old who the ones i have come across to be extremely rude and bad mannered. im sure not every muslim man is the same but its certainly the general feeling i get.

So, in the interests of not surrendering the moral high ground to these pricks, my view is that the burka is offensive, but I do not have the right to tell someone not to wear it. I don't disagree with you regarding relegion, but I do think that to become part of society there are certain limits, rules and regulations put in place by the state for the perceived good of everyone, i.e. yes we have free speech, but you cannot abuse people etc. I think we are just getting to the thin end of the wedge of peoples tolerance of 'multi-culturalism' and the Burkha is a symbol of everything that is opposite to the values of the British way of life. So yes I believe people can be told, within reason, what not to wear, what not to say & what not to do if you want to live in this country, just like most of us do everyday to be a citizen in the UK. And if you, I or them don't like it then none of us have to stay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ani Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I don't know enough about this issue to comment Has nt stopped many others. lets be honest if it was nt the burka people would find another reason to object to how 'them lot' dress/act/walk/sleep/shop/talk/eat etc etc etc. I would be interested to know what say Packistan Airways opinion is of people wanting to board a plane wearing one.
