Re: Muslim Veils
 

Don't see too many in Kingston ... most of the women wearing them are international students attending Queen's ... see lots of drunken muslim students hanging around the clubs at the weekend tho'; I guess the prohibition of alcohol is not all that strict among the younger crowd ... there was a fracas over here about a year ago: something to do with the election act, and muslim women not being allowed to vote unless they could demonstrate that the picture on their photo id matched their faces .... evidently, the muslim community didn't have a problem with this ... but of course our pc nazis did.

Re: Muslim Veils
 

The practice seems to have become more widespread since 9/11. Personally, I would ban veiling in this country, it has nothing to do with Islam and is not advocated in the Koran. It's only a cultural thing and it doesn't fit in with the culture of this country.

Re: Muslim Veils
 

spot on its like 9/11 increased the need to be extra islamic in some people ,also spot on about how veils are not part of our culture and shoud be banned

kudos to those that stick 2 fingers up to this stupid practice still lingering from the dark ages and get on enjoying living in a free culture (while we have it )

Re: Muslim Veils
 

I have no problems with people dressing as they wish (security risks excluded), however, as discussed many times before .. and will not comment on this one again .... do feel these muslim women are just trying to make a point and stir up feelings to no aveil (spelling mistake intended!) .. as cannot see who is making this point. Just like male motorists racing you at the lights, undertaking on motorways, etc., .. you cannot see who they are can you ? So why bother !! Just stupid women.. :mad:

Re: Muslim Veils
 

the problem is katex that in a lot of cases it is not as they wish it is forced/expected or demanded of them by their husbands and they grow up been told that it is acceptable to be told to wear a veil beacuse it shows respect to their husbands

respect works both ways so if teh women have to cover up then so should the men

not just us white folk that think its wrong the internet is full of asian groups where asian women speak up against them

some have had to run away to escape arranged marrages, havingto wear veils etc and although they still follow their religion they see veil wearing as outdated and against their rights as a UK citizen

others have said that they wear a veil when visiting family abroad but dont see why they should in the UK as its not the UK way to cover our women head to toe

Re: Muslim Veils
 

Well, most muslim women I have spoken to say that they have not been forced to dress this way, just 'want to'. Quite a few of husbands do not care one way or another.

Re: Muslim Veils
 

depends who ya talk too then don't it.:)

Re: Muslim Veils
 

Fair enough but find it a bit hard to believe that suddenly we have all these women wanting to wear a veil. Are we talking arranged marriages here?

Re: Muslim Veils
 

yes and i could just as easily say some get beaten if they dont wear veils, i can also say that the govenment had to bring laws in last year to try and cut down kidnappings where asian women were dragged abroad and married to a total stranger against their will

it happens and untill these practices are banned they will continue to happen

i could also argue that these women that wear them of their own accord only do so because it is drummed into them from been born that it is what is expected of them by their faith,elders ,parents and husband to be.

no one gets beaten for compliance but in some cases objecting can get them excluded from teh family or a good kicking

Re: Muslim Veils
 

No saying there may not be a few extremist cases as the ones you have enlighted us with, just feel that a lot of the muslim women are wearing them to make a point and stick their tongues out at us.

Daughter was doing a smear test the other month with lady in full gear, husband entered surgery and exclaimed 'What the (effin hell) you doing in all that lot' ! .. LOL.

Re: Muslim Veils
