Does it matter if women wear the veil?
 Does it matter if women wear the veil? ... Should it be her decision or society's?Newest Review: ... there) because I'd be arrested and possibly killed for it. So why are we expected to roll over and accept them coming to our countrys and going against the grain of our cultures?? If a person walked into my betting shop wearing a mask or balaclava I'd press my panic alarm, because logic dictates that 'hey, he has his face covered so is probably about to rob me' right?? Yet these women have ... more ... their faces covered all the time - in our banks, our post offices, our airports, etc. etc. and we do not bat an eyelid.
I almost feel like it is an invasion and we aren't noticing. Please don't mistake what I am saying for prejudice or anything similar...more |

I have a problem with these women who wear the full veil, when all you can see is their eyes. I don't object to them covering their hair, its now different to a hat, or bandana.

I presume this category was started during media furore after Jack Straws comments and a rather famous veil case where a Muslim woman said she was setting example and defending Muslim women's right to wear a burqa (veil). My review will be about Muslim burga because I don't envisage anyone else wearing it unless they had a medical or mental problem. Some extremist Muslims believe that their wives, daughters or daughter in laws require protection from male society. The ladies in question could be very pretty, they could attract a suitor, not allowed in Islam. A bigger question is can burqa stop a randy woman. She can use it to hide her identity and ...
