| numonex said: Racial intolerance is accepted in parts of Western civilised Europe. Spain, France and other western countries are now banning the burqa. Freedom of speech and democracy is used to justify racism towards minority groups by the majority. 5 million Muslims are outraged by the decision. Only 2000 Muslims were impacted by the ban. 0.04% but that beats the point. It is OK to ban a minority within a minority Freedom to practise one's religion and dress in accordance to conservative Muslim values outside of Muslim nation is under threat. That is 20% of the world's population living in the world. Islamophobia = fear, paranoid beliefs, anger and widespread hostility is expressed by majority towards the Muslim minority. 9/11 triggered the worldwide myth that Muslims are all terrorists.
Outlaw the religion could be the next step. France encourages racial intolerance towards Muslims- confirmed. |
Nowhere does the quran mandate a veil. It is entirely cultural, therefore it is a entirely non-religous issue.
The wearing of the veil in non moslem countries symbolises cultural seperatism, causes offence against western sensibilities and stimulates only negativity. It is therefore an act of agression.
Peaceful coexistence is the key; those who take the veil carry with them a sign of isolationism and seperatism and show this symbol of offense to everyone they meet, wherever they meet them. Worse still, it is the first thing these people can see. Surely the world would be better served by preventing such negativity?
The niqab then is an immodest weapon used to highlight cultural and political differences. The balaclava is illegal in Britain for exactly these reasons.
What purpose does it serve?
Those who legislate against such items may be seen to be challenging rights and freedoms - but this is clearly not the case; they are demanding common decency and civility, We are forcing to adopt the moderate ground.
The only shame here is that it has to be made law before these people stop and think about the impact they are having upon their host culture.
If you live among non moslems, in a non moslem country, perhaps you should consider their cultural norms and values before imposing your own, alien customs upon them. That would surely be an act of love, respect and goodwill. And it would surely serve to minimise potential conflict.
