There's the solution; wear a burkha for the match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I find it strange how the burkha was hardly seen before 9/11, i can only think they do it to cause provocation - there's no religious insistence on wearing them. Really, I can't believe there are anymore around now than there were back then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no balls Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Really, I can't believe there are anymore around now than there were back then It does seem to be far more prevalent around and about Bolton these days. It might be because more lades can't be arsed making an effort of a morning, which in itself deserves a fair few lashes or a few stones being thrown at them.

Could we bring in new laws to enforce the wearing thereof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bolty58 Posted July 18, 2010 Members Share Posted July 18, 2010 Wonder where the feminists stand on this? Usually fairly left wing but they must be anti bearing in mind the reason it is worn? If for no other reason than security purposes, the French are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent_white Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I'm much more uncomfortable with the Government telling people what they can and can't wear than I am with women covering their faces. I can see the logic in demanding their removal in situations where you need to positively identify somebody (banks and airports being the obvious examples) - but in general day to day life It's not something I feel irate about. This idea that the majority of Muslim women choose to wear them to "wind up white people" doesn't ring true to me. They wear them for the same reason that Scallies tuck their tracksuit pants into their socks, or Emo's dye their hair black, or football hooligans wear Stone Island - ie because it's the socially acceptable way to dress amongst that particular subculture.

That's the bit I don't get at all, do people really think they are only worn to wind non muslims up? - if so, why don't the blokes wear them as well, that way there would be double the amount on the streets, thus causing us to be even more "wound up" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do find them odd and backward looking, but then it doesn't bother me in the slightest...I've probably worn dafter looking clobber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothy Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 They should be excluded from schools, public venues, government and public service locations, airports etc and on public transport. If they want to wear one walking down their street or in a venue were being fully masked is 'socially acceptable' then so be it. It sort of puts two fingers up at CCTV/surveillance society though, which I can sort of empathise with, although doubtably the angle they're looking for.

no balls Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I'd be interested as to why they wear it. No one seems to be able to give a reason when asked why they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) I regularly pass through predominantly Asian areas, and the wearing of burkhas has definitely increased in the last 10 years - significantly i'd say.
