I suppose if want to see yourself as a second class citizen.
Never mind about that. Where are all the hijabs? What about those hijab creators?

I ran into one of these black-clad āghostsā, full hijab + eye netting along with covered hands but fresh white sneakers, on a hike in the Bavarian National Park last Saturday. Spooked the hell out of me coming around the corner of the trail. She was with her minder. It was warm as well. Black clothing and sunā¦nice. In reality, it was her bearded fat-bellied goober āminderā with a lazy eye that should have been fully covered. There is no place for this in the Western civilized world. Men need to control their urges rather than imprisoning the women.

the court seems to be saying āwhen in Romeā¦ā
If you want to live in the 8th Century go back in live in a society that lives in the 8th Century. Too bad our court doesnāt think likewise.
Oops, maybe thatās what the holy 5 want?

I have mixed feelings about this one. On one hand I see the breach of personal and religious freedom, by denying people who want to dress in a particular way the right to do so, if not coerced by someone else. On the other hand I see how security issues can arise with unrecognizable people going around the streets completely clad with clothing.

King Abdullah bin Abdallah of Saudi Arabia should retaliate against the French attack on the cornerstone of Sharia fashion by banning French fashion, Of course, he and his princes are busy funding the barbaric Sunni terrorists groups who are establishing a caliphate in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere in the world.
Maybe we can ban the use of beverages as a form of headgearā¦
Being an agnostic, maybe a āsoft atheistā, oh I donāt know! [and there you have it]; Iām more sympathetic to the French Courtās decision. France, is, after all, a secular republic and no none is going to stop the young woman from wearing the hijab in the privacy of her home during salat or for that matter, any time she wants - at home. But in public, thatās a different matter. Itās also a matter of numbers. One person dressed up as the Michelin man and schlepping around Tucson might be a cute stunt. One hundred thousand people doing it would be considered unacceptable, and possibly dangerous, even if no harm was meant or intended.
Although admittedly more extreme [but the difference is of degree], some Roman Catholics in order to āfully realize their faithā use the instrument known as the ādisciplineā, a cord-like whip which resembles macrame, used on the buttocks or back once a week during private prayer. One was seen in the movie, āThe Da Vinci Codeā along with a āciliceā, a spiked chain worn around the thigh. Used with zeal, blood can be drawn. Pope John-Paul II is said to have used a discipline in private prayer. It is never done in public, like the flagellati of the middle ages, a practice that was banned in the 14th century but still occurs in some parts of the world.
Most of the time, Iām quite happy to share the planet with well meaning people of faith. Itās the ones, and there are not a few, who are always coming down from the mountain with stone tablets telling the rest of us what to do that set me off. To these particular folks, I respond with a hearty and unrepentant, Wank off!
I agree with this ruling. The security and assimilation concerns trump.
You canāt have people going in masks because they are impossible to identify and therefore impossible to police.
Moreover, as someone above me said, āwhen in Romeā. If new immigrants donāt make steps to assimilate then they are basically just a slow invasion force.
When Westerners, particularly women, go to strict Islamic countries, theyāre expected to observe at least some aspects of the local dress codes. It needs to be a two-way street. Islamic women in Western countries shouldnāt be forced to wear short-shorts and tube tops, but theyāre going to have to lose the masks.
The sorry young woman wearing that fashionable big black black dress would not need that passport to hide her eyes if that big black dress came with a built-in one-way mirror visor and outfitted with transition lenses.
One good thing about this commenting system - I can view your comment history and see how often you complain about the comment system.
Why donāt you write an email to management instead of constantly complaining in the very threads that you have trouble following?
