Burqa

[HenryDorsetCase]

I asked the Security Guard who is from Pakistan what would happen if a woman wearing Burqa wanted to enter the building. He said he would ask her to remove it for identification purposes and went on to say its not a religious requirement but tradition.

a tool of oppression.

He's not that ugly...

But the beard would work.

How much C4 can you get under a Burqa?

a fair amount. theres pictures on the web. gross pictures. but the women suicide bomber is a common enough thing.

This is the issue I have with it. I can't walk into a bank with a bike lid on, but if a camel jockey wears their tent that's fine?

That's so fuckn rude... I can't stop laughing

The idea is if I want to go to a country which for religious reasons bans alcohol,and I want to bring my beer,then it won't happen legally.So I must conform to that lands laws and beliefs(here in lies the problem with imports),but when they come here to live they want to impose their ideals on us,I can't go into bank,servo with balaclava on,anyone see a similarity.

I wonder if they get served at Shell ?

Depends, has your family,ethnic or religious group traditionally worn balaclavas for centuries?

If not then no I don't see any similarity

In public, people should be able to wear whatever the fuck they want.

Time is an invalid argument. People have been smoking opium around the world for centuries but it's illegal in most western countries.

The burqa is an interpretation of the koran talking about modesty. If the pope (or brian tamaki) interpreted Jesus' beard as meaning we should wear balaclavas today then the same principle stands.

In public, people should be able to wear whatever the fuck they want.

Mongrel Mob members in balaclavas hanging out outside the bank...?

[jazfender]

I have heard that the Burqa is a custom imposed by men on women so that other men aren't as likely to fall into...temptation.

That's fucked up but I'm not sure if it's true.

No crime, no problem.

That would make it very easy for cops to target anyway.

[Usarka]

The problem is that any one of us can walk down the road in a turban, or a skull cap thing, or hell even a dress. We'd offend people sure, but we wouldn't be taking a ride in cop car as a result - unless it was to the loony bin.

A bunch of mob'ers (or even some skinny white guys) wearing balaclavas would have the armed offenders squad jizzing over their carbines in the back of the paddy wagon.

For generations my family have quenched their thirst with beer after a hard days toil. I can't see that as acceptable in a number of countries. So I either don't go there or I accept their customs when I do go there. This goes for appropriate clothing just the same.

I would love to see the NZ consulate phone the King of Saudi and complain because I couldn't have a pint or the wife couldn't wear her mini skirt. It wouldn't happen would it?

Good idea for a new smiley though.

New Zealand is a free country ... those that reside here ... are free to dress in any manner that is legally acceptable ...

THEY ... as I do ...care little for YOUR devient customs ... regardless, if they are within the bounds of NZ legality .... or not ...
