Ban the burka?
« on: July 16, 2009, 03:46:11 PM »
So what do you think about this law in question?

I think it's got pros and cons. For one, women will finally stop wearing the ugly cloths that make them look like pidgeons and hide their identities.

But at the same time I think it's a little extreme. I can't justify freedom for all and banning some idiots right to wear a curtain to stop her brother from raping her.

What do you think?

I think that modesty in women is important. It is a sign of a good woman and a trait Jewish men should seek. But I don't think that a womans face should be covered. In Jewish belief the face is the essence of the person and expresses a lot more than speech. When the face is hidden under a bag such as a burka or a scarf, the essence of the woman is restricted and held back. I believe in Jewish Orthodox practice women cover their hair because hair is an attractive feature.

I think the burka should be banned in public, but it should be allowed in certain instances. Or the muslim women should be able to cover their hair but have their face shown.

You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities
Duet 16:13-14

You'll have to be forced to look at their ugly faces though.  :yuck: :beast: :disease:
