im not a big fan of islam at all, not a fan of any religions, especialy the extreme versions. but im a big fan off free speech and personal freedom. it doesnt hurt me or this guy who's trying to ban it.
it may harm the women, but its up to them to break out of it. if western women didnt fight for the vote and for equal rights, theyd still be wearing aprons, baking cakes and very much controlled by the men in their life.
i disagree this has anything to do with beliefs, but im sure the islam community will argue otherwise.
personally i find it disgusting, ugly and ridiculous, the whole wearing buqas. but if i didnt find it so disgusting, id very much want the right to wear one, as its fuck all to do with anyone else and its not hurting anyone.
the real issue is.......do the women really want to wear them?
or is it the guys/tradition making them? (i think YES)
would the same men who enforce it on the women in their family enjoy wearing one themselves if it were the norm?
answer------no, it would piss them off.
