10. "plus the thing is that hijab is NOT the problem"
In response to In response to 9


  

          

If there is sexism and misogyny, THAT is the problem. Hijab may be voluntary even in a misogynistic society/religion/relationship.

I agree that it's about Islamophobia.

I also abhor FGM, but after reading Alice Walker's book The Temple of My Familiars, I'm less self-satisfied by my moral position. If that makes sense.

      i think it's an awful practice anywhere.
Dec 06th 2016

           You allowed to wear SandM gear in court?
Dec 06th 2016
18
                *pats head*
Dec 06th 2016
20
                     Also if these white ppl care about women being mistreated via burkas
Dec 06th 2016
21
                          Impossible to enforce.
Dec 06th 2016
23
                               Ive seen public school teachers wear religious garb.
Dec 06th 2016
24
                               Muslim people DESPISE burkas more than liberals.
Dec 06th 2016
27
                                    Yes Muslim ppl can be Islamophobic.
Dec 06th 2016
28
                                         Muslim countries have banned burkas too.
Dec 06th 2016
30
                                              Not cool if the women are the ones penalized.
Dec 06th 2016
31
                                                   What needs to be flushed out is your understanding of the burka
Dec 06th 2016
35
                                                   You want to let the bad acting men off the hook and punish the innocent ...
Dec 06th 2016
38
                                                        Teachers might want to give the paper bag test in school.
Dec 06th 2016
43
                                                             It would be cool if white people would stop trying to make comparisons
Dec 06th 2016
49
                                                                  bruh... they can't help it.
Dec 07th 2016
78
                                                                       bruh...Hitikuro is not black
Dec 09th 2016
97
                                                                            how the fuck you figure I'm not black?
Dec 09th 2016
100
                                                                                 Perhaps I confused you for someone else.
Dec 09th 2016
105
                                                                                 Muhfucka said "perhaps"
Dec 09th 2016
108
                                                                                 perhaps... lmao, they can't help it
Dec 09th 2016
111
                                                   I think you are making the best argument against banning burkas
Dec 07th 2016
72
                               They can wear whatever they want
Dec 07th 2016
85
trying to control what women can/can't wear is wrong
Dec 06th 2016
2
lol
Dec 06th 2016
3
It's wrong, at least in the US.
Dec 06th 2016
5
It's pretty fucked up.
Dec 06th 2016
6
Is the issue really that burkas & hijabs are rooted in sexism/misogyny??
Dec 06th 2016
7
Sure but when Islamphobia dukes it out with sexism/misogyny...
Dec 06th 2016
8
but then we're back to SoWhat's point.
Dec 06th 2016

      Burkas though.
Dec 06th 2016
12
           Yeah we aren't talking Hijabs, we talking Burkas
Dec 06th 2016
15
           I don't think it's a slippery slope.
Dec 06th 2016
17
                Why? it's only one step past what nuns wear
Dec 06th 2016
55
           We talking Burkas, Hijabs, or Niqabs?
Dec 06th 2016
46
                I think you may be confused.
Dec 06th 2016
58
      To play devil's advocate....
Dec 06th 2016
11
      Sure there are women who will tell you that they choose it
Dec 06th 2016
14
           And there are women who will say they choose to change their surname
Dec 06th 2016
36
                So a woman can decide to ban the Burka and it's cool?
Dec 06th 2016
39
                     No, I'm not saying Merkle should do a damn thing.
Dec 06th 2016
48
                          If you are offending you probably didn't understand my point.
Dec 06th 2016
52
                               You thinking I'm arguing 'for the burka' shows how little you understand
Dec 06th 2016
53
                                    No. You are missing my point that the notion that women are
Dec 06th 2016
59
                                         Oh Germany ain't the west?
Dec 06th 2016
62
                                         You are very ignorant about this.
Dec 07th 2016
64
                                         Here we go. A white man decrying the R word.
Dec 07th 2016
92
                                              You are an intellectual disgrace.
Dec 09th 2016
98
                                                   what shit have i posted?
Dec 09th 2016
101
                                         Again i don't know what you are talking about but it's clear you don't
Dec 07th 2016
81
                                              You don't know what I'm talking about because you keep waffling
Dec 07th 2016
93
                                         I've concluded that people simply don't understand what a burka is
Dec 07th 2016
63
                                              The Burka ban in Germany is completely about Islam
Dec 07th 2016
91
                                                   THis concept of 'the people involved should self-police'
Dec 09th 2016
99
                                                        self-police?
Dec 09th 2016
103
                                                             You certainly have made that argument:
Dec 09th 2016
106
                                                                  I'm the intellectual disgrace here?
Dec 09th 2016
107
                                                                       I wonder how much Syrian refugees are hip to that.
Dec 09th 2016
109
                                                                            "I tried to reeeeeach it away... just don't call me the R word"

It's right up there with pee next to me
Dec 06th 2016

I wonder how common burkas are in other people's cities.
Dec 06th 2016
19
I see them regularly in my neighborhood.
Dec 06th 2016
22
Have you seen them publically demeaned by their husbands?
Dec 06th 2016

So that means all of the millions of women wearing burkas are doing so b...
Dec 06th 2016
26
if that's your theory, you could project that beyond Islam
Dec 06th 2016
29
      True....
Dec 06th 2016
33
           You lost me, I thought we were talking about the USA
Dec 06th 2016
34
                I don't want to outright ban the burka
Dec 06th 2016
37
                     And you want to punish the women you say are victimized
Dec 06th 2016

                          Teachers aren't allowed to wear KKK outfits either.

Dec 06th 2016

           Ok but to be clear, we are talking Burkas, not Hijabs.
Dec 06th 2016
54
                Naqibs... add a little lace to the slit and it's a burka...

It's pandering to Islamophobia at best.

You don't though. Governments make value judgements all the time.
