nikki-red Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 It might have been in the Bookseller of Kabul or a Thousand Splendid Suns? I've read it somewhere too, although it actually seems to me that it said the actual design or arrangement of the niqab, rather than the burqa, lends itself to the formation of small 'blinkers' which impede the peripheral vision of the wearer, forcing them to turn their head to track anything. Which is why it's not that safe for them to drive, which is then why they aren't allowed to drive ... If anyone who actually wears a niqab could comment? Thank you for that, yes it was in The bookseller of Kabul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaranthus Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I contend that the banning of full face coverings protects the freedom of the majority to go about their everyday business without fear. What is so scary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubydazzler Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Why is this? What reason do you have for thinking it's okay to tell someone they can't walk to the shop in the clothes they've chosen to wear??No-one has to be allowed in a shop or bank with their face covered AFAIK. But this is getting silly now, this is just going over the same old same old that we've been discussing for years. It's a waste of time anyway because if the Government of France have already done this, it won't be long before the rest of the EU follow suit? And it won't make an iota of difference what any of us think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Why is this? What reason do you have for thinking it's okay to tell someone they can't walk to the shop in the clothes they've chosen to wear?? Do you think the shopkeeper has a right to ask the person to show their face in his shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaranthus Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Yes. What's your view? That you are an irrepressible troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slacko Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Of course it does. I was asking shaz. A female Muslim. It seems her view of being allowed to wear what she wants might conflict with the views of any potential Muslim husband. Wouldn't you agree?
