Only ban the burqa if it is not worn freely : Comments

By Mirko Bagaric, published 27/8/2010

Burqas should be banned only if the women who wear them do so out of a sense of compulsion.

Yes, Boaz, we all know how you feel about Muslims.

>>Of course..there is no reason on Gods earth 'why' any person might be 'anti Muslim' or.. anti "Islam" is there ? of courseeeeee not. Perish the thought.<<

But the thread is about clothing. And freedom from meddling government bureaucrats.

Not that it makes any difference to you, of course.

>>So...given that the Burqa symbolizes those hateful, vile, aggressive and loathesome imperialistic religious values..... I'd say ban it forthwith...<<

Of course you do.

How did you phrase it?

>>The Burqa, to me..is the moral equivalent...<<

The moral equivalent of what, we ask?

>>>...some bloke walking down the main drag in a Hitler Youth uniform, complete with swastika's and jackboots<<

How elegant, Boaz.

How very mature.

Christopher Hitchen in todays Australian, Saturday, page 7 of Inquirer Section has some excellent and very cogent points to make on Muslim intolerance..which again puts the peripheral debate about burqas in its right context.
