Re: Belgium rules!
So you're calling a burka a "wank fnoglet". I see.
So you are saying that the reason why God created the universe, including millions of years of human and animal suffering, and the extinction of most species, is so that at the end of all of that a select few humans could be with him forever. I see.

I did check to see if the date of the article was April 1st, though...
Belgium really is leading the way on this!

Re: Belgium rules!
I for one don't agree with this, firstly, all they're doing is treating the symptoms of female oppression in Islam not the causes, and secondly they've probably just created a bunch of future terrorists, so well done there.

To pick up on your second point, the threat of violence from a bunch of delusional idiots is a reason to NOT do something, that could be considered "right" ?RuleBritannia wrote:I for one don't agree with this, firstly, all they're doing is treating the symptoms of female oppression in Islam not the causes, and secondly they've probably just created a bunch of future terrorists, so well done there.
I'm sorry, that line of reasoning is cowardly to me.

Re: Belgium rules!
Of cause it's not a reason, but since there's no real reasons to ban it in the first place, it is an effect of pointless legislation.AshtonBlack wrote:To pick up on your second point, the threat of violence from a bunch of delusional idiots is a reason to NOT do something, that could be considered "right" ?RuleBritannia wrote:I for one don't agree with this, firstly, all they're doing is treating the symptoms of female oppression in Islam not the causes, and secondly they've probably just created a bunch of future terrorists, so well done there.

Re: Belgium rules!
Sure there is. Every fight begins somewhere, and this is a law explicitly forbidding, quite specifically, Islamic bigotry.

Re: Belgium rules!
As I said before, it's fighting the symptoms, not the cause. Not to mention the fact that the state is telling people what they cannot wear, to paraphrase an Arab proverb, it's the first straw on the camel's back.born-again-atheist wrote:Sure there is.

Re: Belgium rules!
I don't give a fuck, quite frankly. The burka is telling women that they're the root of all the problems in the world. This law is telling Islam to STFU.
It's a win no matter how you look at it.
