Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Why is it, that WE have to conform to other countries wishes, that when they come here, and they can do what they want and that includes wearing of the burka, and yet, if we go somewhere, we have to adhere to that counties wishes, and that country insist on - as l have said before, this country is too soft,.

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Yes, Arthur, you have often, and at great length, said this before.

And you are absolutely right, when we go to Spain or the Balearics, we all immediately wear Spanish clothes, speak Spanish, and eat nothing but Spanish food.

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

indeed we do

What you get up to in your own home is entirely your own business....;)

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Why?

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

As previously mentioned, very simply, the burka is not a requirement to the practise of Islam, it's a cultural addition, largely from the Middle East. Women are required to dress 'modestly' - this does not equate to a requirement to cover the face, this is purely cultural, notice that it is almost universally isolated to a few countries.

Polygamy is, however, expressly mentioned in the Qur'an, do we allow that?

It's very simple, where exposed faces are required and balaclavas are banned this applies to everyone. There is no religious objection it is purely a cultural one, and one that has no place dictating to ours.

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Even though I dont tend to agree with them I normally like reading garys posts but i didnt understand the "why"

Good points from ignition there :clap:

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Why? was in response to FW saying when we go to Spain or the Balearics, we all immediately wear Spanish clothes, speak Spanish, and eat nothing but Spanish food.

I assume he means him and his family, and not 'us' we. and was wondering why they all wear spanish clothes, speak the lingo, and eat only spanish food.

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

By "they" do you mean the Spanish? Do "us, we" (you) not "do" irony?

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Forever and co.

I don't know what irony is.

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Once again, your assumption was incorrect

Like steely, only softer.

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Nothing to do with creases and clothes then? :)
