So Canada is now going to allow women to wear the burka in special circumstances in court.

This is just insanity, the face needs to be shown in order to properly analyze them and see their face. Nowhere in the Quran does it require the burka so it is not religious. This is just judges being politically correct and too afraid to take a stand.

Even though this is in Canada there are serious ramifications for this, it could spread in Canada with sharia law since thats what this is and it could happen in the US as well.

The burka should be banned in courts and everywhere else except home, this is just too much pandering and the degradation of society.

Do you think the burka/niqab should be banned in court?


BTW I know people will try to discredit the source saying its just one source or some other nonsense so I have 5 sources on this from different political sides

Normally i'd be completely against this but since it pisses you off it MUST be a good thing.

The ruling from today was that judges are in fact allowed to order the removal of a face covering in court....

We are not "now going to allow" anything. Up until today it was not certain if the judge could order their removal, but the supreme court says they can.

This news today decreases the rights to cover ones face... The woman complaining that she be allowed to wear the niqab LOST the appeal today...

That just goes to show, disagreeing with incorruptible is always the right thing to do.

Did you read the article

- Canada's top court ruled Thursday that under certain circumstances a Muslim woman can wear a veil during court testimony.

It needs to be banned completely since it has no place in society and is anti-women, why dont men have to wear it?

Please, don't feed him. I'm convinced he's an alt, no matter what he says. If people would just stop with him, he'd hopefully just get tired of the charade and go back to using his normal handle. (yes, I'm guilty myself of replying/participating)

So maybe the other side on the prosecution should show up in a burqa also.

Cant fix stupid.

Maybe all the cops should show up with black hoods and masks.

This would make a nice saturday night live skit. Maybe we should have a Wear your Burqa day. What a nightmare.

Should men wear bras too? Dresses? Aside from those more crazy suggestions, what about high heels? They serve no purpose other than to make women more aesthetically pleasing at the expense of their comfort, yet they are perfectly acceptable (and sometimes almost required) for women to wear.

I'm not a fan of burkas either, but I don't understand the culture well enough to lay my judgement down on them.

Burqas and Niqabs are generally an expression of the control asserted over women by mens religious interpreteations of Islam.

It's clearly fucked up but it's not something i'll care about until they execute women or throw acid in their faces for declining to wear it...

Oh wait, that happens about once a week...

And that is why you shouldn't comment on this.

The burka is different because the women are FORCED to wear it and its not even part of the religion. Its a way for the men to treat them as chattel and second class citizens. As well its done so the men dont get sexually aroused by seeing a women in clothes.

And some women are freely choosing to wear them.

If you're going to make a law it should be against oppression but that would upset the sensibilities of any conservative so that is a no go.

Most of the women are brainwashed and religious extremists. So if someone wants to wear a mask in court then should they be allowed to.

So basically you are saying that you know better than these women on what they should be allowed to wear?

You can say that and not realize that you ARE exactly the kind of man you are propagating against?

Just... heh...

You're such a fucking twat.
