Turbans and head scarves are one thing.

If i can't see your hair, i don't care.

And if you leave them on during the national anthem, i can deal with that, though it rubs me the wrong way.

But we don't cover our faces in North America except on halloween, masquerade balls and perp walks.

i dont care what you're stuck with in europe or elsewhere, but in north america, your face should remain uncovered.
 
Well, good thing you're free to take your business elsewhere, just like I do when I don't like the people waiting on me.
 
Harper and the Bloc have it right

Agreed.

I don't care about their religion...they can worship as they please.

But it's fucking rude and contrary to our society's underpinnings to walk around like a black halloween ghost.
 
of course: trigger words "muslim", "niqab".:D:)
Like moths to shit.

Moths to flame; flies to shit. also, bees to honey; ants to a pic-a-nick basket. You have to correctly match your insect to the attractant or I cannot give you partial credit for the quiz.

ok, cuntface

question for you

what if KKK were wearing their hoods....etc etc

The article is about women who wear niqabs.

didn't know that KKK members are wimin.
or men who like to dress like women.
 
Aside from all the Drama about why people wear masks and for what reasons, the fact remains that North American society operates in a Show Your Face environment.
 
Too bad threads like this only attract (for the most part) the nutjobs, because it's a topic we are going to have to deal with.

who are the NUTJOBS?


the ones who would SCREAM bloody murder if the KKK would wear masks? or the ones who would KILL anyone who would deny the right to MUSLIMS wearing a mask?

who are teh NUTJOBS and why are they NUTJOBS?

Tell us, NUTJOB!
 
Other than "I don't like it" what's the harm of concealing a face?

Many people do body modifications, plastic surgery, enough makeup that they'd be unrecognizable from their "natural state."

I knew a guy that dyed his hair, wore contacts, had plastic surgery on every part of his face. Beautiful man. Looked nothing like himself.

So what's the difference, it's their face, not yours, they can do what they want with it.

I think it's a question of social convention.

In Western culture, covering one's face is anti-social, except in certain sanctioned situations as previously mentioned.

I think it's really that simple.

Right, and the social convention is to welcome other cultures and allow religious freedom. It's also a law.

Covering one's face is not antisocial when it's intended as a sign of devotion to a social group, a religious group, who have the right to practice.

At least you could see what he looked like.
