KopTalk.com Forums Boris Johnson and letter boxes

I’m not sure if you read or watch the news but there’s widespread condemnation of what he said so not sure how he’s getting away with it? Like I said earlier, Corbyn gets flak as he’s the leader of the party and is beyond week in his condemning antisemitism in his party. Most of those complaining about him are from his own party too.

For me the burka is demeaning to women. In this day and age of trying to get sexual equality this is a massive slap in the face to that. I know anyone who wears them will say it’s bychoice but what would happen if they chose not to? They are also a massive security risk as anyone could be under the hood. Wasn’t it reported that Bin Laden used to wear one to move around undetected?

Some don’t wear them as it’s not part of their Islamic tradition. I have no idea what separates one from the other and why some do wear them and some don’t.

For me it’s a security thing as much as anything. Anyone can wear one and hide and they know they’ll not be bothered. But you’re on iffy ground if you start banning them as it’s a religious thing and you have to apply the same rules to all and not just some Muslims.

Well that's the thing, if niqabs are banned then what's next? Is that also a denial of religious freedoms

I think that would be a legal minefield.

I would imagine a lot more crimes have been committed by people in motor cycles helmets and hoodies than by people in niqabs.
