Something deep inside when Western Chivalric-influenced psyche is offended by the Burkka. A woman does not need to hide her shape and face to be safe from me, or another man when I am around.

I fully support this French policy in general, the only thing I don't like is that we didn't come up with it first.

Burkhas and hijabs worn in the West aren't about modesty, they're a statement.

According to the women that wear them, they're making a statement on the superiority of the Islamic culture, and hoping to promote a migration towards it in their new Western home

Should have used this image. Now that you're with the big boys, you need to learn the proper ways to influence people into your side, whatever that may be. Funny images are a way to do that. : D

On-topic, indeed I also believe the Western Chivalry might have influenced us, along with the dose of colonialism and Imperial European superiority which showed that our culture is superior and anything that conflicts with it is by default, bad/wrong.

As a yankee i must continue our historical tradition of siding with the french on this one...

**Fragony** · 08-13-2009, 05:28

There is no need to ban the burka, you have to be recognisable on the street, current laws are fine

finger -> face MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA shambling sleepingbag

disrespect is key.

Surely by telling her what to wear you are patronising her, how does that fit into chivalric thinking? Let them where what they want, why does anyone care what they wear? Or are we still in the childish "all towel heads are terrorists" stage?

Foreign people look and act different and native people don't like it.

A real scoop this one

**Fragony** · 08-13-2009, 10:39

Sure enough but the burkha should be banned, I don't care for the justification their petty beliefs don't offend me, but the burkha is a security-risk pure and simple, you can't see who is under it. As for the rest, couldn't care less.

**Idaho** · 08-13-2009, 10:46

I can't see the face of people walking in front of me. Is that a security risk?

Should wearing a mask be illegal too?

Howabout false mostaches?

**Beefy187** · 08-13-2009, 10:51

Just think of it as fashion.
I see nothing wrong if they want to wear them.

OMG, Halloween will be next.

Last time I read the Koran it stated women need to cover their breasts. I could not see the bit that said hair.

Assuming that men have no control over their urges, why is it that women suffer in requiring a constant bodyguard and wearing such horrible clothes? Shouldn't men be forced to wear chastity belts and anything else that causes them to all be such cause of concern?

Just like wearing a bikini isn't culturally acceptable on the beaches of Saudi Arabia, these things shouldn't be acceptable over here. Of course, we're not as barbaric to flog the offenders.

How about this,

Burkha for men

Is there a place where a lot of people wear masks, allowing just about any trafficking? A criminal or terrorist can be completely invisible.
