Tldw: I think there should be no religious freedom afforded to the niqab/burka as it is a safety issue, and safety supersedes all. If no one else is allowed to cover their face in a bank/school etc, then niqabis aren’t allowed to either #OneLawForAll
This is the same view I have for other unsafe things we allow under the guise of ‘religious freedom’ such as-you can’t carry a knife on a flight...unless you’re Sikh. That’s absolute nonsense. Safety is paramount.https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-tuesday-edition-1.4391247/world-sikh-organization-welcomes-canadian-decision-to-allow-small-kirpans-on-flights-1.4391256 …
Yasmine, you are so persuasive on this. I now vomit when I see so-called liberals defend the right to wear the burka or niqab. They ignore he fact that this garment is forced on women and children. Women with the luxury of free choice are rare in the context of your arguments.
I am with you on this one, but you also know there will be the linda sarsour types that will ask people to imagine how it is for niqab women to live under a 'secular dictatorship that views these women as oppressed', at least that's the propaganda they will tell people
All rules have evolved to keep in step with the times. We should ensure that the scholars of each religion are trained & empowered to spearhead this process of evolution and adaptation.
