Would you be able to see a dagger, a machine gun or a suicide belt under a Burkha?
All of the above could be concealed in many ways other than the burkah, would you suspect what appeared to be a heavily pregnant woman with a loose fitting dress, or a nun or priest with their long frocks? The more we consider this, the more we can see it is fear mongering and perhaps Islamaphobic.
Gaz, you said in an earlier post:
The burkah is strictly a personal choice of dress, a tradition, it is NOT a requirement in their “ holy book “.
So the Burkha is not actually required to be worn by muslim women?
So how is my post being Islamaphobic?
Yes, of course all the above can be used to conceal these items but is a muslim suicide bomber, determined to blow up people in the name of “Allah” likely to sway from their religion and dress as a nun, priest or heavily pregnant woman?

Lots are forced Gaz, I think you know. We hear time and time again young girls barely left school whipped off to Pakistan to find they are going to marry a cousin. Most of the muslims I know have had arranged marriages. Infact I know one muslim woman..my age…had an arranged marriage at the age of 16, unfortunately divorced at the age of 35 to be forced into another arranged marriage to another cousin. Quite bizarre. And this young woman was born in this country and went to school here.
Having said that things are changing I hope. One of my friends daughter, Sikh, married a muslim boy. Now thats progress!! :lol:I know that Mrs Kent, like many many ” faithful “, they transgress their own doctrines !
Being faithful to your religion does not mean you cannot marry out of it. Nor does it mean you cannot move on and be different to your elders. Nor does it mean you cannot adopt to your environment. At least some try and follow a religion rather than copping out because it’s too much hard work.
What d’ya reckon Gaz?12 November, 2010 at 2:09 pm #453979Imagine how much fun women in burkas have tagging each other on Facebook.
12 November, 2010 at 2:10 pm #453980Personally, I find the peeps wearing the burkahs quite scary – glad I live most of the time in France!

I bet their families aren’t happy! I know changing faiths n stuff is what they used to have to do, to be accepted. Dunno now?!
If she is your friend surely you could ask her if they are happy or not :roll: Thanks for repeating the progress bit I mentioned. :roll:
12 November, 2010 at 2:25 pm #453983I am quoting you kent!!!!! Not one of my friends! :roll:

What d’ya reckon Gaz?Hehe, i knew you would go into one . . . Mind you , you have had a good master :lol:
I was refering to the fact they force this engagement on women. What do i think ? I think you are absolutely correct, me being a transgressor big style will not label myself as any follower of faith, but i am very faithful, not unlike yourself. :wink:
