Ban The Burka?

[vernonk]

Would you like to see the burka banned? I consider it a threat to national security, apart from anything else

Re the above comments, the answer that women have to cover themselves so as not to inflame men's desires is the correct one - nothing to do with the women not being able to resist their advances. I've commented before that this doesn't reflect very kindly on the religion's review of men's self control....

What if you have a burka fetish, boxy?

[kylesmum]

I'm simplistic.

I see no need for a burka to be worn here.
Despite all the nay sayers...men have abused this 'privilege'. Anyone could to be fair.Who's going to challenge it?
I know it's been said but when in Rome....
When i'm in Spain I adhere to their laws which believe it not are quite stringent and quite different from here.

Religion is personal...it shouldn't ever be paraded is my view.

[naomi24]

Quite right, Boxy, and no it doesn't reflect kindly. It's an insult to men in general.

[boxtops]

I think naomi's answered that one, talbot.

Does people think that the Muslim male does not look at porno? connect that with the Burka. they can still get a stock on never mind the Mask.

[boxtops]

Never said that, TWR - they're blokes same as others. Doesn't mean that everyone who views porn sees everyone out in the street as being up for it.

So....just going on Talbots post. Why do burka wearing women have the most sensational eye makeup....they even attract me !!!

[grasscarp]

Where I work (Hayes) burka clad ladies are everywhere. Some even wear black gloves even in mild weather. Often very young girls are also wearing head coverings. In the bank one day one was at counter next to me being asked for ID and I wondered how that was going to work.
I have a near neighbour who is head to toe in black who says hello to me and I say hello back but I really don't know how I could progress beyond hello with someone I really cannot see at all.
I find the burka is not conducive to trust or friendship.

You must watch different porno's to me, kylesmum.

[naomi24]

Kylesmum, a burka covers the whole face. A niqab exposes only the eyes. Both utterly ridiculous modes of dress though.

[boxtops]

The eye makeup's what they wear every day, same as non-Muslim women might.

[grasscarp]

And one more point. Someone I knew worked at Heathrow on check in and sometimes took women into a cubicle to check their face against passport photo. The facial covering often covered bruising.

[dustypuss]

what hapens when a young inflamed man! Removes the the burker and finds a woman old egnough to be his gran behind it?:-(

[dustypuss]

Your Answer Here

[boxtops]

Strictly speaking, dusty, he won't remove the burkha unless he's married to its wearer :-)

[tamborine]

If you had a tash & beard wouldnt you want to hide your face

[-Talbot-]

I can't put my answer there so I put it here, dusty.

[kylesmum]

Ooops !
