Pamela Geller, Lead Article, American Thinker: Ban the Burqa

Pam: I agree fully with your reason for banning the burqa.
But there’s another reason for banning it: Some women don’t want to wear it, but they are intimidated into wearing it (and saying that they want to wear it) by certain members of their family or community.
Since at least some cases of women wearing the burqa are against the woman’s will, then we should ban it for all of them.
If they don’t like that, no one is making them stay in the United States. They can leave any time.

People are entitled to wear what they want in any free democracy, however, if we allow these imbiciles to flaunt our laws, and hold us to ransome for their extremist religious demands, and expect our free democracies to hold their backward cults as equal to ours, then we really are to blame. We must ban the covered face at least in free democracies, in voting, working in the public sector, courts, driving and for photo ID, otherwise we are saying that these values are equal to ours, which is insanity. I think it is really going in the wrong direction when in a prairie Canadian city, looking for a fitness center, I ask at each one, do you have a clientle of religious women who cover their heads, and at each one, they simply explain to me, like I am some type of idiot, ‘well of course, they are everywhere now, we must just accept it’ Well I don’t accept it. What happened to the culture that was once Canadian. Are we a mulsim culture now? Is a woman with her head covered so acceptable here that no one even blinks an eye. That we just blindly must accept these frauds who live among us pretending to value gender equality. If that is the case then the next step will be very easy. It makes me cry.
It is not the same as the color of a persons skin. It is not the same as long haired hippies. It is not the same as the mens Jewish beanies, or the Christians sunday bonnets, we all know it is not the same. It is not the same as any of these things. It is the presence of a religion that dehumanizes women and I will fight it with every breath and to my last breath against the invasion of this cult of hate. I will write letters to members of parliament, I will join clubs and forums, I will speak to friends and speak outloud everywhere I go to protest this travesty.
Before our parliament disolved for the election, an MP in Quebec, had a bill that dealt with the banning of the face coverings, and I have been writing the MP’s to find out if they will bring forth another similar bill. This requires support, so I will try to find out who is in favor of legislating against this face covering nonsense and find out when a bill will be brought forward. There is a far larger presence of islamics in Quebec and many Arab speaking people, in fact, a small shoe store in Montreal has been fighting a daily protest of lunatics on the street in front of the store by islamic social terrorists who are attempting to block people from purchasing Israeli products at this store. So Quebec is as big a cesspool as Toronto.
You are a role model to me Pamela. You are amazing.

“Banning the burka” is rather missing the point with the article above. The problem with the burka, from a simply civil standpoint has to do with identity verification. I am obligated to present proof of who I am when I write a check, often when I use a credit card, when I am stopped by police, when I vote, etc., etc., etc. In this instance the question is whether this woman’s islamic beliefs supersede the established law of the land, i.e. when stopped she has to present ID in such a way as the officer can verify her identity.
I was glad to see the first judge’s ruling was exactly that. However, for the 2nd judge to rule that “I am not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that she made the complaint. Even if I was satisfied that she made the complaint, I am not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that it was knowingly false.” is pure idiocy! The whole point, judge, is that there was no way to verify her identity, beyond the evidence at hand: her driver’s license with signature, and the complaint with signature. If a signature is enough to authenticate my mortgage company, none of whom I have met (it’s been sold at least twice), to foreclose my home if I don’t pay, seems that this is enough evidence. Especially considering even the judges haven’t seen her face!!
Now, as to banning the burka as a statement to the culture of Australia (in this case), Canada (for Morticia), and the USA (for our dear hostess), fine, have at it. But the problem is that the issues are becoming entangled. I pray that the USA remains a land governed by law, though it would seem that is going by the wayside. I think it more effective, at least at this point, to address these attempts at wheedling by the law by coming down decisively on the side of rule of law. None of this lefty-waffling, “because it’s their culture” bull. This is MY culture: we in America don’t hide our women away in black, cloth coffins, or kill/maim them to protect our egos! If you want to live here there are laws, live by them. You MUST present PROOF of identity for any number of events or activities. Wearing a burka is no excuse for not presenting proof of identity. period.
Are we a nation ruled by law or not?
‘course which law is a whole ‘nother ball o’ wax.
Then the ribbon on top: Matthews’ dhimmi lawyer Stephen Hopper explained: “They are obviously happy with the result and are expressing it in a way that is culturally appropriate to them.”
Couldn’t they express it in a way that was culturally appropriate to where they stand: Australia?! What a moron. Would it have been ok if they stood outside the courthouse and shot AK47 rifles up in the air? Based on all the news reports, that would be “culturally appropriate”.

I agree with you that some costumes are provocative, but in a democracy people must be entitled to wear these offensive costumes. I find the swastica disgusting, but I have also looked at it’s orgin to find out how it was kidnapped by Hitler the Psychopath. If someone wears one that is their business, but if I walk into a store where they are working, or a public venue,and see it displayed, the wrath of Khan would be mild in terms of my reactions. Yet, I know an artist who once had them tatooed all over his body, yes, he is on the fringe, some would say lunatic fringe, and he is far from being a jewhater. The opposite, yet, many of those smiling culturally accepted head covered islamic creepy women, do hate jews, christians and anyone who lives freely, their agenda is kept to themselves and shared with their inside circles, and at their mosques.
They must be allowed to wear what they want, but I don’t think their religious costumes belong in the work world. I would never allow my children to be around anyone wearing their head covered. What a sick role model that is for young girls. They may as well be clitorectomized and have a sign promoting the practice.
Religious costumes have no place in sports, or in the public sector. Canada was bullied and bamboozled years ago by the seiks, before anyone realized what a jar of worms that would turn out to be. Now we must face the consequences of our mounties, rcmp, police, all wearing those ridiculous centuries old rags wound around their heads, with their long disgusting unkemp beards as part of traditional dress the the public is supposed to respect. This is not India, this is Canada or the USA where religion and state are seperate.
Religious costumes must not be accepted in public places in a work situation, to work, or carry out functions in the public arena.
In perticular covering the face as do the kkk or the islamics with their burkhas must be legislated against period. Let the lawyers create all the wording to support this ludicrious situation and hopefully make it happen in all western democracies.
So yes, mr Kuffar, I think people must be allowed to wear what they want, no matter how offensive….However, in a working situation, government, private, public, whatever, we must not allow this creeping sharia to advance itself.

Seems “gutless” might be a prerequisite for being a politician.
Oh Noes!! The poor dear is very stressed?!
Maybe she shouldn’t have started this all up in the first place! Guh-friend, you made your bed; lie in it.
