Another day, another burqa ban(in Denmark)

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

That sucks. They have a right to religious freedom. If a Catholic can wear a cross, a Muslim should be able to wear a Burqa.

A cross doesn’t cover the face. So no.

A cross doesn’t cover the face. So no.

...I still don't get why the burqa is the only form of full-face covering that is somehow bad.

The burqa is neither a part of Danish cultural heritage nor is it as subtle as a small cross, however.

They’re all bad without context. People just think burqas should be an exception because of religion.

Like you wouldn’t wear a motorcycle helmet, unless you were riding a motorcycle. Or a ski mask unless you were going Skiing.

The burqa is neither a part of Danish cultural heritage

Neither does allowing women to drive in Saudi Arabia, but no one was whinjng about "muh culture" then.

Islam correlates not only with terrorism

It doesn't.

Fundamental rights of citizens are more important than culture. There's no conflict there.

It's absolutely not, there are LOTS of laws against having your face covered in public, they're called anti-masking laws. In fact this and most "burka bans" are just laws that don't give a religious exception.

Hence why the law was created

So, let's ban ski masks. And motorcycle helmets, because of biker gangs. And hoodies, because of gang stereotypes.

Nah bruv, it's just their culture /s

And they are illegal

That's what they fucking did. If you're not on a motorcycle you can't wear a motorcycle helmet, that's mentioned in the article that people aren't reading.

Even on motorcycles. /s

But anyway, just ban all facial modifications that obscure a person's face (not articles of clothing), and then upgrade the CCTV to the point where it's just China, but European.

This is simpler and cheaper. I don't like the laws but I like irrational arguments less.

I'm sure there's lots of Middle Eastern porn stars to keep you happy.

Mia Khalifa...

Necroing is bad and you should feel bad.

I Should have sarcasmed that entire thing.

But, in total seriousness, I understand it's to prevent people from hurting others behind the veil, but I'd honestly rather specific restrictions than a blanket ban of full-face coverings. And, this violates freedom of expression/religion.

To what purpose? If the issues is people covering their faces it doesn't actually matter what they're covering their faces with. I don't think there should be a religious exception, it would take the teeth right out of the law. I do however think people should be allowed to wear what they want and I don't believe the public need to see the face of a person who is hasn't been convicted, accused, or even suspected of a crime should outweigh that person's right to do what they please.

Banning religious items and socialist paradise aren’t mutually exclusive

TIL freedom of religion isn't a fundamental right.

Or not having one's clothing choices policed for that matter.
