It's a cultural thing.
I always associate it with oppression of women. But then I only know what I see on TV so I guess I am not really qualified to give an opinion.

Well i think if he had his way, it wud be a total ban but at the minute he has a no. of MP's looking at ways of restricting their use...

If it's a cultural or religious thing, each to there own. But definitely wouldn't like to have to wear one myself.
Let's hope Biffo doesn't get anymore mad ideas

well your right, it is opressive ...
Culture is used to justify so much opression
I do feel that a debate about the wearing of the Burka is a good thing, however I feel that an outright ban on wearing them in public is wrong. Some woman wear them by choice and they should have that right.
It is seen as a religious thing, although the Koran does not state that it is compulsory, rather that both men and women should dress modestly when in public.
It was long the tradition that a woman cover her head when going to a catholic mass, should Countries that are not Catholic have banned that?

Well to be honest if they are living in a different country. they should show respect to that country. Its a very delicate matter tho religion, thats all everyone will say. its out religion and culture but to be honest and this isnt being disrespectfull to ones religion but what kind of god truly wants its women covered in head to toe...bizzare if you ask me but then again religion is a dodgy subject. jmo
i think if women want to wear it they should lot of muslim women are traditional and want to wear it oppositse side of coin is lot of men force it to be worn by women also wrong

Well i was wondering how much choice women actually have, as we have seen women stoned to death for showing some of their leg?
Of the women i have seen here wearing burka's, the men with them are all dressed western style

I know where you are coming from hun but as I have said there are some women who wear them by choice. I think it is wrong to force them to wear them but equally as wrong to tell them they cant. w
h4rdtr4nc3: Someone is a bit anti-irish???
No, just anti ignorance...
ignorance is only ignorance when you dont ask the question
h4rdtr4nc3: you will find that everywhere in every country
Rubbish
