Projekt Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Any actual proof that burqas are dangerous when driving, or did you make that up? Are you actualy doupting that a burkha will hinder a persons ability to drive a car safely? Wow, your a bigger idiot than i thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Well not for everyone to look the same - you're never going to get this in UK . . well not until we are an islamic state like Iran/ Afghanistan/ Saudi/ Yemen etc Thank goodness. I love difference! So you're suggesting a ban for security/safety situations like driving/ going through airports/ travelling on the tube/ buses No, not a ban. If a woman is needed to show her face for passport/immigrations etc then fine - ensure that she does. Likewise to prove her identity at the bank or whatever. You can achieve these aims without a ban. I don't think there's any need to ban it at all, nor (given that you could hide a bomb anywhere) for women with fully covered faces to be kept off public transport. I am not sure how this would help security? It wouldn't, but it might help challenge the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcat Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Are you actualy doupting that a burkha will hinder a persons ability to drive a car safely? Wow, your a bigger idiot than i thought. The woman in the daily mail picture with the veil pinned back across her face will have better visibility than anyone that wears spectacles who's clear view is restricted to what they can see through their lenses.

Well, before calling him an idiot you might like to consider whether there's any factual evidence that it will hinder driving ability. If there is a gap for the eyes is it significantly different from the gap around Michael Schumachers fireproof balaclava? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projekt Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I've never understood this complaint. It's like a call for everyone to look the same - daft. Mmm yeah, look at this bunch of unique individuals http://www.tinyrevolution.com/mt/pack%20o%20burqas.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a gap for the eyes is it significantly different from the gap around Michael Schumachers fireproof balaclava? Michael doesn't have to look for cars coming the other way. He doesn't have pedestrians stepping off the pavement. There are very few traffic lights to look for on a racetrack and even fewer pellican crossings. You are not that stupid halibut.

Rubbish, you still have peripheral vision with glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great all round vision, and easy for the police identify who was driving on a speed camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hard2miss Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 No it isn't a requirement of the Koran or Islam. It is however a cultural tradition linked up with self reflection and the seeking of enlightenment, very much a religious endeavour and something that is shared in common by all religions. So why did you say it was a religious garment then ? If its just a life style choice like fox hunting was then I dont see a big problem, get it banned !

I'd say so yes, the balclava is tight against the face and doesnt look to me like it would impede vision at all http://i.speedup.com/SABELT/Abbigliamento%20sportivo%20e%20accessori%20racing/Sottocasco%20ignifugo/jpg/1088091_500x500.jpg Whereas a Burkha must surely impare ones peripheral vision http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/ni/burqa.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
