      The liberal outrage at this sentiment is laughable. Boris is right. There is NOTHING liberal or feminist or empowering or *anything* good about women wearing the burkha or niqab. In any circumstance. In any country or any culture. Ever.https://twitter.com/jessbrammar/status/1026413210302341120 …

      That’s not what he said though is it. There are feminist discussions to be had about the wearing of the Burkha/Niqab and women’s choice to do so. Boris is not engaging in that discussion, he is name calling and “othering” these women and doing so for entirely cynical reasons.

      No there isn’t a sensible feminist argument for wearing the burkha. Boris did not name call, he accurately described the absurd appearance of these garments. He mocked the outfits not the women. He criticised Islam, not Muslims.

          There’s a feminist argument against wearing Burkha. But that’s not the one Boris was making. He was mocking a religious practice and doing so by reference to these women’s appearances. Also evidence in other European countries suggests banning Burkha etc has greater oppressive1/

          No, mocking a medieval practice (that has little to do with Islam) is not the same as mocking Muslim women. There are a number of arguments against the burkha, only one of which is the feminist one. Integration and respect for British/western values is also a key argument.

          And by how much do you think @BorisJohnson advanced the cause of integration? People tend to dig in when they’re sneered at in this way.

          Do they cover their faces and prevent normal day to day interaction with others? No. People are free to have weird hair.

          He criticised Islam not Muslims? That’s ok, no Muslims will be offended then. Strange though when people criticise Israel they get labelled anti Semitic as if they’re criticising Jews.

          Er, we have the right to question and criticise ALL religions in this country regardless of any offence caused. People who criticise Israel don’t get labelled as antisemitic if their criticism isn’t antisemitic, eg comparing Israel to Nazis.

          And the difference between Islam and muslims are? Oh you mean those who fit your definition of a "good" muslim rather than those who choose to follow the dress code. How about if I told you what to wear - G-string and suspenders (even if it puts me off my dinner)

          If you don’t know the difference between an organised religion and individual human beings then I’m not sure I can help you.

          So what religions are not organised? Because if they are not, they are not religions.

          I'm afraid their costume signals they adhere to the sharia. We kuffar have quite a lowly position indeed in sharia. One could argue it's an Islamo-supremacist costume if not a "hate" costume.
