Muslim sues school for asking her not to wear burka on premises

What people expect, and whats justified are two different things. Also, since when is it okay to make one unnecessarily uncomfortable to make another comfortable from being unnecessarily uncomfortable irrationally? The majority of society is okay with the Burka anyways, just take a look at our democratic parliament. Since when do we make people change to make society comfortable? Your logic takes us back centuries, where 'society' would feel uncomfortable sitting next to a black person, where 'society' was uncomfortable with women out of the kitchen. Now that I mention it, don't the very SAME people on TSR say that muslims need to deal with their uncomfortable feelings towards homosexuality on LGBT forums? Talk about hypocrisy.

Westerners in authority would rather see a teenage girl have her body exposed to public scrutiny than try to protect her from gossip and slander during what should be a time devoted to exams.

Yes that's correct, I was forced to take it down despite him having the Hezbulloah flag in his window, practically supporting a terrorist organisation

He's one of the most deluded Muslims on this forum.

What my post said is that if more people got to know Muslim women who wear burkas, those who are currently uncomfortable with the idea would become more comfortable.

Let's accept your your premise. This is all racism, Islamophobia, no inhabitant of a Muslim country ever wants to live in the west ya de ya.

(Except you, obviously).

If Afghanistan isn't such a sh ithole, why are so many Afghans emigrating to Asia and the Middle East?

This is one of the funniest posts I have ever read on TSR.

An apologist for one the most backward, primitive, barbaric, medieval cultures on the face of the earth accuses another poster of wanting to take "society" back centuries.

Dressing women like they are in a parrot cage takes us back centuries, mate. We don't do that in civilised nations.

What part of that don't you get?

Do you think we are all stupid??

Do you think we don't know Afghan women are oppressed?

Not an easy task for non-Mahram men!

Likewise, if burqa/niqab wearing women got to know western men a bit more they would realise that it is not a mask and robe that stops them from being ogled and molested but rather our basic decency and respect for others.

I think it is entirely reasonable to ban face veils in situations where other masks and face coverings are prohibited. Anywhere else, people can wear veils, masks, balaclavas or whatever as they see fit. I don't see the problem.

So a regular women wearing regular cloths don't have to talk or engage with any men they don't wish to, but women in Burka's must engage with non-mahram men to show that their engaging with society? I don't get it? You make no sense. Why is it a problem if a women doesn't talk with certain people?

This woman is a vexatious litigant, what a waste of the court's time. If she wins her lawyer will be enriched as will she, and the public purse impoverished. To what good end?

The more incidents there are like this, the more the division grows between non Muslims and non non Muslims.

Many will feel If she is so unhappy with this, why doesn't she go and live in a country where she would be forced to wear a burka anyway? Like Afghanistan?

While the "burka" is not an Islamic requirement, females should have the freedom to wear whatever they want without being bullied, criticized or harassed for it. If tolerance is something the 21st century is leaning towards to, then who are we to say what people can and can't do?

This kind of thinking is dangerous because you're indirectly displaying an act/thought of intolerance. The burka might seem absurd to you but to others, it isn't.

How does someones dress take them back centuries? Isn't much of a civilised nation if an individuals dress will take it back centuries.

Same reason why anyone else immigrates. So many Afghans arn't immigrating anywhere. Of course, some are immigrating, but not enough to say the people of Afghanistan are all immigrating.

I'm a British Canadian. I'm British by blood, so I don't know what you're talking about by saying "except" me.

Lawsuits are ultimately about money - putting a dollar..... or in this case a pound..... figure on suffering. Admittedly there is some question as to how much she even "suffered" from this request.

The problem is the reason why they don't speak to certain people.
